I just fear that it's maybe not quite cheap enough.
And I think that a lot of the people who would be interested in this thing are maybe not super excited about something that doesn't burn gasoline.
The idea of the personalization, the customization is built into the product, I think is really interesting.
And I'm still excited to see it come to the road.
And I'm excited to spend more time with one to see how people customize their trucks.
I think there's going to be a huge DIY community around it.
And I'm excited to see that.
But as far as a mass market success, I don't think it's probably shaping up to be that right now at that higher cost, especially with Ford promising to bring a sub $20,000 electric truck to market as well with paint and stereo and other things.
But that's probably at least another year off
We'll have to see what that looks like.
Yeah, and Slate is in, again, they're in a good place financially.
The truck should go into production in Indiana before the end of the year, and I'm very much excited to see them on the road.
Well, you know, there are certainly really bright lights in a lot of new cars. But if you look at the Reddit forums and other places where people are complaining, a lot of these complaints are actually coming from aftermarket headlights.

And the result of that is incredibly blinding, incredibly bright headlights, which can be pretty annoying and frankly damaging at some point to other people's eyes.

It definitely depends on the model. Certainly higher-end, newer models, that kind of thing, do come with super bright headlights. We see a lot of bright LED technology, that kind of thing. But most modern cars do include brighter headlights, LEDs built in.
