Everyone is saying to use the frunk for storage, but what about all those times when it's already full of shrimp? WHAT THEN?!

I did a detailed analysis of the emoji, and I think I found a match.

Don’t know anything about truck delivery plans, but they did send out a nice Thank You card to early reservation holders a while back. So thats another good reason to update your address: potential for free Slate swag.

you could make swapping the seats a regular maintenance task, like rotating tires.

Even if these panels were an attractive thing to steal, Slate has said a number of times that there are screws on each panel that are inaccessible without a key to open the door/frunk/bed. So one of the power tools your thieving hooligans bring better be a Sawzall before heading off to the...

Have we? I only recall seeing the safety lock-out clamps, which would be expected at any public showing to keep someone from smooshing their, or another's, fingers. Like the purple ones here: https://www.slateforums.com/forum/threads/pics-impressions-from-slate-showing-in-denver-today.13393/

It's not though. Catalytic converters contain valuable metals like rhodium, palladium and platinum. Slate panels are just hunks of plastic.

It's so weird that people see a few exposed screws and they immediately think the entire truck will be dismantled by crews of ravenous plastic fiends if you're at a stop light too long.

The article assumes the plan is to not pay customers for the labor time if they're servicing their own vehicle. Maybe they would pay customers a similar amount to the contracted shop rate. Would it be a unique departure? Sure. But I don't see there being much difference to Slate if they're...

Goes live at 9:00 am Monday! Jay Leno gets an exclusive first look at the Slate, a revolutionary new electric truck prototype built in Warsaw, Indiana. Designed by industry veterans from the early days of Tesla, Slate is on a mission to rebuild American manufacturing by offering a truly...

Looks like another custom 4x4 from Statler Toyota in Hill Valley, circa 1985.

There's some room to shift the messaging on this from "no infotainment included" to "you get to pick, from the entire world of options, the best infotainment solution for you." I think that's a much better selling proposition than getting stuck with whatever proprietary garbage software...

Same. If a professional is going to charge $3k to install a wrap on top of the cost of the material, I can mess up installation six times before it would be cheaper to go with a pro. I bet it only takes me 2, 3 tops before I'm proficient.

They also said "Legos" instead of "LEGO" which to me is the bigger sin here.

Unless you need that $50 back, I'd just let it ride for a while. Even after orders go live, Slate has said you can hold off on pulling the trigger until the time it makes sense for you. I'd suggest keeping your place in line, wait for real people to start getting their trucks, and make a final...
