But in any case, I get what theyre saying. If I bought this I'd probably not use half my vehicle most, if not all, the time.
Personally very much like the idea of a slate car but not on offer yet.
Not jabbing at you in particular, but how often does the average 4-door sedan owner use their back seats? If you'd reqire a truck bed more often than rear seats, the argument for a small pickup is logical.
I have passengers far more often than I use a bed. Honestly I think I might use a truck bed once a year at most and that's if I'm looking to use it.
Families, etc. All probably use those back seats more than they would a truck bed. But your argument isn't wrong- I just agree with op that for a lot of people a bolt is a more attractive option assuming you're not super into the core of the slate- ie. No tracking, etc etc
