Not talking about towing Talking about a bedspace only, 1-2 man crew setup A Bobcat ZS4000 Stand-On Mower 48″ is a 64" long mower for example, so it should juuuust fit in there, but to be safe I mentioned smaller, though personally if I were to do something like this I’d want a greenworks electric, costs half as much as the truck For sure, you’d see a range drop, but it shouldn’t be anywhere near as severe as pulling a trailer A small standon, a ramp to get it on and off the truck, a rack with a trimmer, edger, hedger, blower, pruner, mini chainsaw, maybe a delta powerbank or gas generator to recharge the tools as you drive about or they’re in standby I’d expect a drop in range about 25-30% with that but not as severe as a pull behind trailer ~130-150 miles of range is doable if you plan the route and cluster clients, which any Semi-competent business owner who could afford a fleet of these would be capable of doing or paying someone to manage the routes

Slate is a good niche, its range is fine for the purpose its supposed to fill Imagine a fleet of them for a lawncare business paired with a 30-42" standup electric mower rig Cost of operations would be dittly squat, could be further buffered with solar and replacememt parts dirt cheap. Roi would be extremely quick and then it’d be pure profits People are already doing that with used Teslas pulling trailers (yeah its funny to see, but the people doing it have shown their numbers and its pretty nuts) Whats not fine about the Slate is no awd version. On an EV it’s a minimal endeavor to make that work so there’s really no excuse Having experienced awd I will never personally own another vehicle without it if I have a choice. Especially a truck. My driving conditions are way too harsh to not have it

Nah, we've seen what happens with patents. from medical, to agriculture, to automotive to software. The system isn't working even slightly as originally intended in almost all scenarios and should be dismantled

And those servers are what process your Twitchs, your YouTubes, your Netflixs and etc services

Here’s why it does matter Most server hardware thats out there right now doesn’t support av1 encoding, so all of those, literally tens of thousands of them in thousands of spread out data centers have to be replaced with brand new +$1,500 a pop cards that do support it before they can use it

Surpass Tesla in software? Most of us want less software not more That’s why everyone is so hyped about Slate. Less of this garbage is a paid feature these days.
