Stopped doing the events? They did one just acouple weeks ago. 😂

I think it would be absolutely GENIUS of Slate to start offering an EV retrofit kit. It would be PERFECT for SO many vehicles. Include the battery, motors, and all required electronics and they'd sell like hotcakes. People are paying $25K+ for wrecked Tesla swap kits! Companies doing...

Keep in mind, these **are not** production vehicles. They are all pre-production.

People keep forgetting these **are not** production trucks. A lot of fit and finish things will be ironed out in production.

I'd pay for the whole thing now if it meant I get the tax credit, lol. I tweeted (xeeted?) Slate asking if they were going to open the order books so we can put money down. No response. :(

Nice catch. I didn't notice that on the one in Winona Lake. Glad the main interface is USB-C though for speed and quick charge.

I'm only about 5' 11", but I could fully extend my legs sitting in the truck if I put my feet between the pedals.

We finally got the answer to "Yeah, but can a tall person fit in it?" Slate just dropped a new video featuring their tallest employee, Cob, coming at a whopping 6' 9" (6 feet, 9 inches) tall. He appears to fit pretty well!

Love how the author specifically outed Tesla when they have one of the cheapest EVs you can buy, lol.

Not sure I'm interested in another GM EV. My Silverado EV is back in the shop. I've had it for two months and for about half of that it's been in the shop...

50 MPG is still about twice the fuel cost of a Slate for me (which would be free if I end up going solar). Depends how much you drive and if you need a truck bed I suppose.

Yet we're still going to continue to fund fossil fuel production with tax dollars, but noooo, we don't want to spend money on cleaner air. 🤦‍♂️

Except more energy is now generated in the United States via renewables than with coal, which is the dirtiest form of fossil fuel used to generate electricity. Coal is dropping while renewables are increasing. However, even when electricity to charge an EV IS generated with coal, it is still AT...

It's definitely about practice. Also, the regen in my Tesla isn't as sensitive OR as "hard" as it is in my Silverado EV (the Prologue has GM "bones", so regen/1PD is probably similar to my Silverado EV). With over 30,000 miles of roadtripping in our Teslas though, you can definitely do it in...

Yeah, so did the door handles on this one
