Ford Maverick- Slate On Preorder
Hi everyone! My names Dale and I am the founder of “Everything Slate”! I am a technologist by trade and I’ve been infatuated with the Slate truck since I first heard of its release. I hope to provide you all with consistent content covering the Slate truck prior and after its release for quite some time to come. Until then, I look forward to sharing this community with all of you and I’m excited to see everyone’s awesome builds!

Love the idea- I actually have a retro micro tv on my desk at work that plays nes games lol, first things people always ask- “is that real” well yea it is! Lol
nice I have 2 one is a Bentley 100c and the other is a vcs I think waiting on 2 more one is. Another Bentley but it’s like a quarter the size being the 4500 and the other a watchman that doesn’t work but I have another one that does and I have a transmitter that I can plug hdmi or analog into to watch stuff all b&w sadly but fun to mess with and upgrade and with the slate speaker/stirage being right in the middle ah! I thought perfect 🤩

Outstanding video and thanks for sharing on this platform. Social media will always have some negative influence, but I think I speak for everyone on this forum that we want to see Slate succeed on its mission. Looking forward to more of Everything Slate.

I like this video, concise and filled with useful information. One thing I have not seen in any assessment video is an attempt to answer the question "how big is the market for this vehicle?" I have to believe the company would not be going to market without a good handle on that answer. Have you seen anything that gives insight into Slateco's market assessment? I would also be curious to know if you have seen anything about their approach to product management and whether they have said anything about long term product pipeline. Thanks for the video!

Nailed it: "trades Polish for Purpose"
That says it, straight right to the jaw for all the glitzy showtrucks.
I want to carry "stuff", not much stuff in any one trip, but lots and lots of times.

First new car I bought when I came to USA (Yes, I'm an immigrant) was a Mazda B2200 pickup.
Small, tough, reliable.
It would be 40years old now, I wish I had kept it.

I think that would be a fair question and one I could discuss. Personally I think the market will be huge for this truck. Fleet managers will eat this up as long as they can figure out charging infrastructure appropriately for their fleet uses.

Thanks! It’s not a big ask, we just want a small truck we can openly work on. The modularity is icing on the cake.
