My Arcimoto FUV doesn't have an app and it functions fine as an electric vehicle. It's not a software defined vehicle like a Tesla. It has a Bluetooth capability for my phone and a control screen similar to a Slate. If I get a great software experience from Slate, that would be awesome...

I know this is simply an intellectual exercise and it isn't malicious. I was only reminded of a similiar post that was indeed intended to be malicious. I have been waiting to replace my 1997 RAV4 with an EV but no one has offered anything that resonates with me until Slate. I like the idea of...

This thread reminds me of a post I saw yesterday where some random loaded up a $45K Slate then proceeded to dump on Slate for making it way too expensive for what you get. It was a wannabe monster truck that would kill the range of any EV. Slate is all about simplicity, and here is a clown who...

I'll be ordering a blank Slate SUV directly from the factory. Since I'm in CA, Slates largest market, I'm assuming there will be at least one fulfillment center in SoCal where I can go to pick up my SUV. I can further assume there would be a showroom featuring all the add-ons available for...

Everything you express in your post leads me to believe your making this decision based on fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of what could happen, fear of Slate failing. Fear of manual windows. I get it, Slate is a startup. History reveals a graveyard of EV startups. Maybe you should just sit back...

My brother wants to DIY it. I'm not a truck guy, however, and I need my Slate to lock up my Efoil and carry people right from the start. So, I'm leaning towards ordering the base Slate Squareback SUV as that seems the cheapest option. I won't be needing the excess truck parts.

I've heard Indiana has a law against direct sales from the factory. I do not know how Tesla gets around such laws, but I do not think you can just go to Warsaw and pick up your Slate.

The animated Front Lamp Upgrade ($350) and the animated Tail Lamp Upgrade ($500) are the only external add ons I expect to get. I'm not even planning on getting a wrap. In a blank Slate with it's gray composite body panels and inexpensive look, those lights will speak for themselves. Currently...

<---My current EV is an Arcimoto FUV. Thirty-two thousand miles in four years and counting. It never fails to get attention. In parking lots, at stop lights, drive thru at In-and-Out. People still take cell phone video of me on the freeway. So I'm used to talking it up as much as possible. It is...

I deleted all my builds with the price reveal and started over. Now it's a base Slate or a base SUV, depending on a closer inspection of the SUV Kit. Also waiting for more Cargo Kit clarity. The only items I'm now interested in are the center speaker (maybe all three) and the tailgate lock...

I'm only watching videos that show the options I'm interested in. Namely the animated turn signals and brake lights, and the SUV Kit. So the best I've seen, in this regard, is from The Electric Duo and that Techie blonde girl. If it's just talking heads giving opinions, I'll pass if I don't find...

I'm thinking wait until Slate is ready for the next step, which for me is in December, according to Slate. Much more information is needed and there is more work needed from Slate before it gets t production. Many items on the Slate Maker still need pricing, likely due to suppliers and final...

That is good to know. My Slate will be a surf vehicle and I need a blade key secured in my wetsuit.

I want to see the video on the animated turn signals and brake lights. Thats is likely the only exterior option I'm getting.

One of the engineers, in a recent video, was asked about the sound system. He said that if all you need was audio for Google Maps or podcast the single speaker is fine. But you would want the side speakers for premium audio.
