I only know of it because of Family Guy, so take that for what it's worth...

Thanks to everyone who posted pics! I've been binging numerous videos on Youtube but somehow the pics here do a better job of showing off the truck's minimalist personality. Hopefully VA or somewhere close will get a preview event soon, or at least an upcoming car show will feature Slate. Can't...

So this thread has me curious about what to do should I get the SUV. For a daily driver I'd prolly do 100 miles a day round trip, so I'd charge it every couple days. No biggie. Every year we drive from VA to Jersey via the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel/Rte. 13 and eventually the Jersey Turnpike...

I'd love the return of power windows. I know the whole point of Slate is minimalism but I would love a standard radio that's Carplay/Android Auto/Bluetooth compatible. Not the giant iPads that today's vehicles have, but something about the size of a smartphone. My fiancee's 2019 Elantra has a...

Sorry for quoting myself. Also plan to take my Squareback to Cars and Coffee. I realize this is prolly blasphemy to the muscle car and Fast and Furious enthusiasts, but I figure it could turn enough heads to wonder if I'm driving something from 1986 and then see it's a new truck.

Yeah I'm leaning towards purchasing in summer or fall '27 at the earliest. Stack my money and see the reviews from actual drivers.

Good to know. I'm leaning towards the Squareback SUV kit, but when I click the Open Air kit option it tells me that the Squareback will be removed and default to the pickup.

Grew up "just getting by" but as a grownup I've had my share of unemployment or underemployment, where I couldn't even afford the $10 to get a pizza. That was more than a decade ago, and even though I'm in a much better position I still get paranoid about not having enough. Finally had to tell...

I've got a '15. Just before Carplay became standard in most cars. And while I love my Camry - especially the physical controls - it beeps over every little thing, and that's become an annoyance with modern vehicles. So I'm intrigued by this truck for the low-tech capabilities alone.

What is the timeline for the proposed 4-door version? I love the 2-door, but now that they're considering a larger version I'd love to get one when it drops.

Same. Take my fiancee' and family out for a little joyride. For once in my life, I'd drive slow to get all the looks from curious drivers. And also because my mom hates when I go more than five over the speed limit. :CWL:

That would be a pretty cool little compartment for my photography gear. Stuff like my tripod or lighting softboxes, nothing super valuable. Maybe some emergency gear.

This is usually my answer to any musical hypothetical. I definitely wanna blast this from my new SUV kit.

I have a '15 Camry and bought a similar screen that mounts to my CD player. It works great.

Remember the OG Honda Passport/Isuzu Rodeo in the late-90s? The design kinda lives on in the current Passport and Pilot, but give me an EV version of something resembling a 99 Passport and I'm a happy man. EDIT: that top one's a first-gen. The second pic should be a 99.
