    Maverick? The one that had multiple recalls with issues causing fires?

    Also, the are no EV or even a PHEV version. Its not really fair to compare to begin with. Youd be saving a lot with fuel and maintence costs.

    Though, my only complaint is the 150mi range is quite anemic for that price.

      I would still rather have the Maverick at the same price if only for the fact that there is someplace to recall them too.

      I wish nothing but the best for Slate, but if I’m entrusting them with $30k of my money and it’s my sole vehicle (which it would be), being essentially a startup doesn’t instill me with a great deal of confidence.

      Whatever you’d save in fuel and maintenance you’d spend in depreciation.

      Ford vehicles may have a fuck ton of recalls. But at least they’re relatively happy to issue and address them. They’re much better than say Toyota who will fight tooth and nail to avoid issuing a recall because it will hurt their spotless record.
