  1. New base-model Teslas have no radio

    I'm embarrassed that I didn't know anything about Tunein! I'll probably use that. I only listen to streamed content on my Lightning, (making FM an obsolete oddity from 10 years ago.)
  2. Welcome to our Beta facility

    I know. I meant how much compression you get in the rear before your rake becomes a Carolina Lean.
  3. Welcome to our Beta facility

    That would work if you never challenged the load capacity.
  4. New touring event dates are up on the Slate Events page!

    Maybe they'll park outside the Corvette plant in Bowling Green? I read that Vette sales were down last quarter...
  5. Welcome to our Beta facility

    Would that be Mozart or Metallica?
  6. New colorful wraps on Slate fastback, pickup and SUV on Fifteen52 Analog HD wheels

    I was thinking same thing. That combo of tires/wheels and lower bumper/trim looks good and gives a lot of options on top.
  7. Could Tesla Make A Slate Competitor with A Slight Form Factor Change to the Cybercab?

    I currently live in an affluent county in GA...I pass 30 Teslas in the mornings before I get a mile from my house (but also 30+ F150s that have never seen dirt.)
  8. Inside EVs: I Saw The Affordable Slate Truck In Person. Now I’m Worried

    Maybe some rational contrarians will be allowed to post in 18 months here? I was a Lightning fan boy...until I owned one. Now I'm strike 3 on the same issue that they have had my truck for 8 days for and haven't fixed yet. "Just one more part...". Ford gonna Ford.
  9. Could Tesla Make A Slate Competitor with A Slight Form Factor Change to the Cybercab?

    Elon will have an interesting place in history, for sure. Let’s figure out a $1T comp package…Elon buys $1B of Tesla stock as a show of commitment…monopoly money that I can only fathom in terms of our national debt!
  10. The Ram 1500 REV Electric Pickup Truck Is Dead!

    Having just done real truck things again today (hauling about 4K lbs of trailer/furniture around with the Lightning), I'm still holding out that Ram REV or Scout or something will have an EREV that is awesome (and reliable!). I'm leaving the Lightning with Ford for a week to sort out the...
  11. A New York Slate of Mind: Blue Open-Air Slate Photos

    Love this! Remove the doors, put some gratuitous A/T tires on and a spare and it's a long way towards my use case.
  12. The Ram 1500 REV Electric Pickup Truck Is Dead!

    Maybe I’ll get a Slate AND a Tesla in 15 months? Get rid of my sweet driving unreliable Ford (Brick) Lightning.
  13. The Ram 1500 REV Electric Pickup Truck Is Dead!

    You are on to something if we presume that bigger vehicles are higher margin and therefore Big 7 manufacturers (GM, Ford, Stellantis, BMW, Benz, Toyota, Kia) are pushing this "need" on us.
  14. The Ram 1500 REV Electric Pickup Truck Is Dead!

    Can you imagine me trying to drive my Lightning around in Rome? I'd be hunting the BUS parking areas. Narrow ancient roads in even more ancient cities aren't meant for our big-arse passenger trucks. I suspect Europeans are shocked at our largesse, but then again, we didn't ask their opinions.
