I remember some 80's Fords had some kind of wonky transmissions that always felt like the parking brake was left on. Acceleration was slow, decel was fast. I had a Crown Vic wagon that rocked so bad it always looked like the engine was stalling. I had some trucks, and a Lincoln Towncar that...

It'd be my guess that they're low cost pots that control the hvac through a central brain box rather than old timey high current switches. The HVAC will probably have sensors to detect malfunctions and leaks, in a way that the vintage machines I'm used to driving don't. As much as I like my old...

Probably gonna rock some Reverend Paytons big damn band, or some Carsie Blanton.

Maybe some Slate branded overland camping stuff? Camping cooking station, rooftop tent etc. Slate gray matching Kayak (calab with coleman?) Some swankier swag? The current shirts and hats are fine but they're still just a shirt with a basic logo, and a pic of the truck. I feel like there will...

I surely can't get one from the factory, but my understanding is that there will be regional deliveries. Ya can pick it up from a site not too far away and save a few bucks on driveway delivery. I spend quite a bit of time thinking about that adventure. Not having an EV before I've got a general...

Costco could be cool, but a Harbor Freight tie-in would be epic! They could have all the accessories, bumpers fancy lights all in stock, where I get all my drill bits and bungee cords might even throw in a hat and a free bucket.

I made it about 30 seconds into the vid, dude seems sooo earnest. I'm kinda thinking I don't represent his target audience.

This really spells out how bloated vehicles have gotten.

I'm TOTALLY going to explain to my sweetie that I need two of them. I'm sure this is going to go SO WELL!

Pretty neat! Thanks for sharing these!

I'm hoping to see some genuinely silly add-ons. If there was ever a perfect base for parade floats and art cars, a truck where the body is built to come off, might be the best.

I'd imagine trailer lights and towing will be an early subject in Slate-U videos.

Honestly it's a pretty luxurious machine compared to the kind of beaters I usually drive.

I've had a lot of cars that could have used some soundproofing but were a huge hassle to pull the interior panels loose without breaking them. Ideally a Slate interior could come out and back in an afternoon.
