  1. Video: Slate can Strike Back against the Ford Fathom menace!

    The reward is that you get your car earlier.
  2. Slate Merch

    i have the dickies jacket. I wanted to get the metal sign, but it is sold out.
  3. So what next?

    all of you would fail the marshmallow test. It wouldnt matter to me if I got the information I need to finalize a purchase even a few days before I had to buy. You cant buy now so what difference does it make if the info comes out now or right before you need to actually buy? Whatever they...
  4. What about the Telo EV truck.

    The are going to crank them out by hand in the beginning so they dont have to build a full production line. They only have 10s of millions in funding compared to slates 1.5 billion
  5. I've stopped defending the Slate

    every time my wife or child drives my car. Im fine for them to be manual. Ive already started researching how to convert them. Just like power windows there are already kits to do this.
  6. BYOD - Amazon Alexa as sound system

    Im in tech, surveillance doesnt bother me as long as it is voluntary. Everyone uses a phone and so they have decided that is enough value to be tracked.
  7. Poll: Does the release of Fathom price and info affect your Slate decision?

    i dont hate dealers, but Ive never had a good experience. I havent bought a lot of cars. My most recent was trying to buy a chevy equinox EV last year. GMs site showed the inventory available at my local dealer. With all incentives GM financial gave me a monthly lease price of $200 with zero...
  8. I've stopped defending the Slate

    exactly this. Everyone so worried about being tracked for ads. I want good ads. There are probably products out there that I desperately want and I just dont know about them. If the marketing could get good enough to place them in front of me that is win-win for me. I dont love flock cameras...
  9. Anyone planning alarm / anti-theft system on their Slate?

    Exterior panels are fastened from the inside as well. Trucks are having their tailgates stolen since forever and now headlight assemblies are being removed.
  10. Preliminary Small Mod Ideas

    i have a console vault in my truck. I would first be looking for a place to install a console vault. I also have a magnetic mounting plate under the dash to secure a pistol out of view, but within easy reach. I would consider adding a motorized side mirror adjustment. There are standard kits...
  11. Ford Fathom EV Pickup ($28,350 Starting Price) - News & Info

    lol, my family of 5, plus my parents =7. And yes we eat out weekly. They can drive close to their house, but more and more we have to drive them. Im getting the slate, then I just have to figure out what to do about a minivan.
  12. BYOD - Amazon Alexa as sound system

    alexa has an auto product (I used to use it in my tundra). It just accesses the alexa app on your phone. So you already have this capability on your phone. You can use the default voice control on your phone to open the alexa app. The alexa device doesnt connect to your car except for power...
  13. Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

    Why use a tablet at all? There are under $100 single/double din head units with only carplay/android auto that are rated for in car use. I want no other software on the thing. My wifes mercedes - you click to say you dont want to log in, then you click to use anonymous user, then you click to...
  14. Ford Fathom EV Pickup ($28,350 Starting Price) - News & Info

    You will be able to add V2L to the slate like you would for any car. I use a little inverter that plugs into my 12V in my tundra. Thats literally all you have to do. V2H on the fathom will almost certainly be the same as the lightning. It will cost 7-9K to install the equipment at your house...
  15. Ford Fathom EV Pickup ($28,350 Starting Price) - News & Info

    the honda odyssey eco mode cause the piston rings to wear and then fail. I installed an upgrade that makes the ECU think the temp is too low to turn on eco mode. The only reason I dont have a minivan is because ours got totaled by a guy in a stolen car running from the police. That was...
