  1. Max speed - 90mph?

    Are you sure you were only doing 90 when you rear ended the firebird?
  2. Gonna mount wheel adapters, 18" Tesla Wheels, and KO2 tires

    It seems like a thread I read here , stated the bolt circle at 5x120mm, depending on center bore and offset, some bmw,Honda,Acura etc. may fit it. I doubt that I'll change rims ,but food for thought.
  3. Sun/Moon roof

    I wonder if any of the aftermarket company's that specializes in jeep body panels, might get into slate body parts. They could maybe come up with roof kits. The bolt on body panels would make widebody kits a snap.
  4. Blind spot warning indicator

    Wow, this is a tough one, $6.98 for stick on convex mirrors , or raise the price $1000.00 so you can have radar in the tail light assemblies. I have been driving for 50 years and never had had blind spot warning devices. I guess that's why I like this truck, it has what I need, without all the...
  5. Solar tonneau

    A solar car port would be ideal for someone retired . Down side is you could buy a lot of gas for the cost of building one from scratch . I'm going to see if it's worth the trouble of charging it with my small solar set up ,and go from there.
  6. Are you planning to pre-order without ever having sat in a Slate?

    It seems to be similar to a 1rst gen ranger or s10, or any small truck from 80s or 90s. You might find one on car lot ,and use it for a surrogate fit.
  7. Suggestion: DIY Delivery Center @ Slate Plant in IN

    Self pick up would be ok during the late spring , through October, but I'm a thinking the possibility of lake effect snow would make winter a nightmare. As far as having a factory tech help customers add their wraps etc. the process would in my opinion slow things down, and drive the tech out of...
  8. Preordered and now having second thoughts...anyone else?

    I thought the wrap would be factory installed, though I'm not sure. So far I have no regrets about pre ordering. I haven't seen any reason not to pull the trigger .yet
  9. Anyone worried about the wind noise

    Usually things like vehicle wind noise don't even register. If I get fixated on something then it becomes unbearable. Thanks for ruining my life.
  10. Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

    New here to the forum, but put down my $50.00 in April of 2025. Yesterday sent the other $250.00 to pre order. I really hope this little truck works out. It is pretty much my dream pickup, simple ,small and full electric. As far as pickups, my 1st was a 63 Ford followed by a 66 Ford, 87, 92...
