that sounds like the worst idea i’ve ever heard

I get the sense a lot of people here are older and are looking at the Slate as a secondary car. I think I'm an outlier here. I'm in my twenties, and my hypothetical Slate would be my first real car purchase separate from my parents. I was looking into new cars without an integrated touchscreen...

The Ford Ranger EV was my dream truck until I heard about the Slate. It's very similar, even has the crank windows.

That's the secret compartment where you hide the bodies.

She did seem a bit patronizing at times with the simple answers. "Where's the backup camera - the back of the vehicle" is frankly infuriating. That's a valid question to ask, for example if you want to do things with the tailgate. I assumed it's on the tailgate handle because i've been around...

Not like 6-7 but like the "devious lick". The current 6-7 thing is tame compared to that trend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devious_lick Heaven help us if the kids come for our trucks with this🤣😳

Not making a reservation because it seems like a waste of $50 right now. But I'll buy on day one that they are selling to the general public, provided I can get my finances in order.

Using the phone mount's sliding rail for decorations is genius. I wonder if many owners will remove Slate's phone mount to put other things on the rail. Personally I use a phone mount that clips to the vent, which I like because I can switch between my charger and aux cord with one hand. Plus I...

Yes there was just one vehicle. There were big Slate banners at the entrance to Hook Hall, and I walked in and found the Slate stage up on my right. You don't have to buy a ticket to the Hook Hall event to see the Slate. The times are 11am-6pm https://www.slate.auto/en/events

they won’t really even let you touch it. I wanted to try rolling the window on the door that was open, but that wasn’t allowed. Pretty sure the window cranks don’t work on these models.

I was there. I wasn't gonna bother posting pictures here because it's nothing new or exciting compared to other pictures you've seen. I was glad to see the truck in person.

Fine with me. I commute 30-40 miles, but I almost never break 60mph during that. Even on occasional trips with long highway stretches, I prefer to stay in the right lane around 60-70. Saving a few minutes of driving is not worth raising my blood pressure by going faster than necessary. I like a...

I hope many of us here are digital minimalists. The digital minimalism is one of the most appealing qualities of Slate. One hiccup I have with Slate though is the assumption that Bluetooth is the default for listening to music. These days I don't use Bluetooth for anything. What I have in my...

I have no problem with using Ai to summarize information or get ideas, but you have got to at least read what it spits out before you post.

And that's not even as bad as kids learning to drive in the average 2020s truck. https://jensorensen.com/2022/12/07/truck-suv-frontover-blind-zone-cartoon/ The Slate truck is obviously nowhere near this level of insanity, but I still feel more comfortable driving (and especially teaching my kid...
