If Slate Auto pulls this off I’m in. I hate that some of the money goes to Jeff Bozos so he can send pop stars to space, but roll down windows, no infotainment, and up to 240 miles of range on the large battery has me sold. All I’ve wanted for ages is a small barebones electric truck and this is it.

Hi my name is Wade and its been 1794 since my last purchase. Almost 5 years. Keep it up. You don’t need Amazon. It’ll die just like Sears eventually.

I spent the afternoon playing with 70 year old wiring with no active ground, 3 way light switches, janky hardware, and a handful of other minor electrical issues. This should have been a thirty minute job, ended up being more like an hour and a half. Worth it. Louis Poulsen for the lighting win.

One more reason I’ll never use anything Amazon related. I don’t buy from them and there’s no way I’d use Alexa. Now if I could avoid using any company that uses AWS I’d be really happy.

About 1000 years ago I did a little illustration featuring a quote from Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" speech as part of a series on the changing of the seasons. Since today is the first day of spring, I thought I'd share wise words form a very wise man.

Hands on and first ride in TELO's tiny electric truck that's as big as a Mini TELO says the tiny electric truck will ship later this year at $41k base. We got to see their progress in a pre-production prototype.

I really hope Telo makes it. This would be my next vehicle when my current lease is up in about 3 years. electrek.co/2025/03/06/h...

I went. I saw. I resisted temptation... for now. It's a bit larger than I thought it would be. Feels very solid though.
