I think you'll be able to do an under or behind seat sub. When I sat in the prototype model this last summer, there was a decent amount of room between the seats & the bulkhead

I foresee a lot of great threads on this forum about dynamat-ing the Slate Truck when people get their hands on it. Partially for road noise, and partially for sound proofing parts of the dash for the speakers etc. I am not expecting it to be the quietest ride. But my '05 Silverado is so loud...

Price is fine for the speakers imo, but I'm disappointed there's no double DIN head unit accessory like Chris had mentioned in a previous interview. I'm going to hold off on getting the official speakers until there's confirmation they will work with whatever aftermarket head unit gets...

I don't think it's unrealistic to assume that not 100% of the $300 reservations will convert to full purchases later this year. We also don't know what their initial plant capacity is, or what the build rate and scale to in the first year past SOP. I think Slate is gonna kick ass, but I also...

Same. I won't be buying until early/mid 2027 anyways, so I'd like to make an informed decision. If it comes in at a higher price, I'll be out, but if it's competitive, I think more options is (generally) more good. I'm all for competition in the market

They have been EXTREMELY clear from the start that accessories are installed by the customer, unless the customer wants to pay to have it done at one of the partner RepairPal service centers. That's the whole thing behind Slate U, "We build it, You make it", etc etc

I’m really happy to hear the Truck has true one pedal driving. MKBHD on YouTube confirmed it in his video posted today, after he got to drive one. He’s big into EVs, so I appreciate the confirmation. I’ve seen posts here about “not full OPD” and such

I wouldn't be surprised if/when the electric window kit comes out, it's actually a whole door pad swap.

I don't think there's any shot of this happening. I think they had to go back to the drawing board for power windows, so they're pulling it from the accessory lineup for now

Yep. I think it's just saying that when enabled, you don't have to manually toggle. That's all.

To be quite honest, the SUV options never really made much sense to me. If you need a small EV SUV, there are tons of options out there, new and used.

Yeah, that's standard fare. On our VW ID.4 you push the left stalk forward and it will turn on a greyed out "Auto Highbeam" icon. If you do it again, it toggles on high beams until you do it again. Pulling the left stalk back (towards you) does momentary high beams while held.

I was able to sit in one, and was VERY pleased with the size of the cabin. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum from you @lindamjohn, at 6'3", but I had tons of leg room and head room. My wife (5'2") sat in it and felt very comfortable, and said the visibility was great. Take that for what...

I think I'm going to put in the additional $250, but (I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this) I'd like to see what Ford has cooking with the UEV pickup before I finalize the purchase of the Slate. IF (huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge if) Ford releases the UEV pickup at $30K, I will probably go for...

One nice upside is that if the LFP gives you more usable daily range than the now defunct extended range battery would at its recommended 80% charge limit. Obviously not an apples to apples comparison if you charge the NMC to 100% for a road trip, but still, I'm quite pleased with the...
