    The new Slate pickup is now getting LFP batteries instead of nickel manganese cobalt batteries.

    I sure hope so. Right now the car market is absolutely terrible. Either you pay top dollar for a brand-new car or you buy a used car that's also top dollar. And it doesn't seem to make much of a difference if it's an EV or not.

    The Slate is one of the few vehicles that turns my head. I'm sure I'll never buy one, but I also feel like I wouldn't buy anything else on the market right now either.
