From the display case, looks like quite a few models look like this and not the final build. Probably still prototyping. I noticed the grey piece and think they may be designing it like the real Slate. Remove the grey piece and attach the open air, SUV and Fastback.

Matchbox release of Slate Truck in 2027! If I can't get a real one, I'll get one of these. Hoping the wraps and accessories are priced for scale! Video starts at 13:46 discussing Slate Truck. From Ripituc blog https://ripituc.wordpress.com/2026/07/18/matchbox-2027-new-models/ I circled where...

I’m coming from Honda Fit, and three Acura Integra’s, so most any other vehicle for my “husky” wide volume body would be pretty roomy. It’ll be interesting to see the actual length, and could be a psyop for the maths on the size for folks on the fence with the Ford/Slate comparison (adjusted...

Nothing new for the most part. If you are sick of the same old videos, okay not to watch and move along. Nice to be able to hear the dinging of the car when the door is open. Thule roof rack basket, bike roof rack and ski board roof rack. Interior shots with the interior color accents. “Close...

To be fair, I made sure to post in the “Slate vs the Competition” sub-thread to make sure not to “muddy up” the forum from the other topics. And the updating information in size of the new Ford and Slate are very similar for me.

Interesting to me. Note sure covered here already, I’m sure it’s old news to folks who’ve already looked at or follow Ford Universal EV platform. We know name isn’t announced, could be Ranchero, who knows. Supposedly 181 inches long, 62 inches wide (they credited folks doing table side math)...

This is pretty much expected, I’m interested in consumer tech, and see this same thing with tech. There’s something called TechTober when technology companies release new devices and software (around Sept-Oct). And I get a bit of fatigue after watching videos that start to get repetitive...

Thanks. I know some folks who have been here since last year, or have been watching everything they can over the last two weeks find these repetitive. I guess I should start being specific and say “interesting to me”. I have a reservation since last year, but I haven’t preordered as...

Cause it’s a great option that I didn’t know was available. As mentioned, I don’t have a motorcycle and don’t know what’s out there. Not sure where you are going with this, but it was not meant to offend.

Good video on the accessories. Nice pan shot of the three Slate configurations on top of the shipping containers. Assembly discussion.
