When I sat in the Slate at the Space Needle event last year, the rep said the seats will slide under the dash with the seat back going up to the steering wheel. If this information is correct, there should be a lot of room for back seat passengers to get in and out.

You’re making me want to keep my old four on the floor.

I’m sorry that I insulted your truck. I was overreacting to the OP’s point #2. If it weren’t for the Slate, I was planning on keeping my ‘74 K1500 indefinitely.

I will never buy a 4 door pickup. They look stupid.

This forum is the closest I’ve ever come to social media. Although I’m here for the latest technical information or links to articles on the Slate, I have enjoyed the hair splitting going on mostly between EB and AZ. They keep it civil and there’s much to be learned from an impassioned discussion.

They do show it without doors in the Slate maker.

Considering the location of the plant and the simplicity of the Slate, I’ve been wondering if some Amish might be be involved in the manufacturing. I’ve seen electric fireplaces marketed as Amish built.

I was, but I sure wasn’t posting on the internet then lol.

I’m in Indiana right now and I had forgotten how badly the steel body panels rust through where they salt the roads. I suppose that’s another win for Slate so long as whatever holding the panels on won’t rust. No, I didn’t have time to go to Warsaw.

Wrapping it and putting in a good stereo.

10 mm? I haven’t owned an American vehicle built after 1985. Do they use metric now?

I would say it depends on how (if?) it arrives from the supplier. Everything pre-assembled counts as one. That’s how it works at the factory I work at, but I will not claim to be an expert in the automotive industry.

When they say 600 parts, I hear 600 assemblies.

Been waking up to this clock radio for over 4 decades.

“Modern mores” or modern Moors?” I guess they meant the former since the truck will not be available on the Iberian peninsula. JK
