If they actually follow through on making the Slate as privacy friendly as they claim in this article, and it doesn't have any major flaws, I'm gonna go ahead and say this is perhaps one of the best options for someone in need of a mini-truck/SUV hybrid.

not even so much as wiring for an aftermarket audio system is dumb.

Not having power windows too. I get the point of simplicity, but you gotta have at least some basic conveniences.

And I don't think a small truck is viable in the US market.

Isn’t the Maverick super popular?

The Maverick has 4 doors

I mean, you can get power windows with it, I just wonder what that add-on will cost.

I recently drove a Uhaul with manual windows and definitely don't need that in my life again, lol.
