New REO truck coming, it looks to be a Maverick killer if it's not vaporware.https://reotrucks.com/
>>28990626>those specsWe never get anything good but I'll happily shill this for free over that stupid fucking Slate piece of shit. On paper it actually seems similar to the Toyota Hilux Champ, and is sized between that and an older Ford Ranger which is exactly the kind of truck we need. SUV, too, I'd be interested in seeing if that "S4C" could fill some of that compact-SUV gap we're missing since Americans don't get things like the Jimny.
Oh boy can't wait to see gay press releases for about 2 years before it's released for $40k and then whoopsies we ran out of investor money
>They're definitely doing R&D in that PO box>Seems pretty conceptual at this point.>...they are definitely trying to steal Slate’s thunder.>...it was that Reo truck in the US is bs>Designs were supposed to be public over a month ago... Nothing there.. I betting its stuck and died on the drawing board..>...but that other one is AI BSDefinitely got the Slate forum stirred up
>>28990626Please let this actually happen
>>28990652I tried to look this up and other than the REO site the results are full of Slate forum users just coping. I like this and never cared for the Slate for a single second as it's an EV. This could supposedly be offered with a manual, too, so if the Slate hype wasn't artificial as it is then this thing would pick up traction. Does anyone else think someone like Jay Leno had the idea of featuring a Slate in a video himself, let alone all the "auto blog" outlets and boomer news outlets like Fox News releasing articles just glazing it? Or the nearly dozen shill threads we had up at one point about it? None of it seemed natural - I bet the tune would be different if this was another EV truck POS.
>>28990661>None of it seemed naturalimplying this thread is lmao
>>28990661i feel like of all the boomerfluencers to name, the guy who's really into weird ass alternate powertrains like steam cars, turbine cars, biodiesel (also featuring turbine) is the most likely to actually be interested in an electric one
>>28990626their xitter account sounds like a fucked up ai that responds to every dumbass request with the most stereotypical retardspeak possiblefunny to see them say it somehow be 4k+ lbs yet smaller than a maverick and have a 150hp 4cylalso buried in the responses is the fact this is supposedly backed by their CEO/founder who is a relator in texas>if it's not vaporwarethe barrier to entry for producing a mass market, entry level truck is slightly higher than a website that takes 25 dollars from you and an AI generated silhouette of a truck
>>28990626>$21,500 promised price.>$35,000 reality price.
Watch it be ugly as hell
>>28990626Other then an AI generated website begging for donations, I can't find any information that this is real anywhere
>>28990626At the bottom of the legal terms of the reservation agreement, there's an address. It's in a strip mall.
It is vaporware.
>>28992709The founder is a real estate agent who sells spice packets on the side. Running an auto company should be a piece of cake in comparison.
>>28992730Dude has Heene weather balloon energy for sure. I suppose you 'win' Thanksgiving bragging if you can claim you have a car company while your brother-in-law just finished his MBA.
