  1. Is launching a boat or jetskis going to be an issue?

    I grew up in Michigan. I don’t remember anyone ever having anything other than rear wheel drive. Snow, launching boats, etc. Never an issue. I’m actually looking forward to having a rear wheel drive only vehicle again even though I have been a front wheel drive fan for a long time and had one...

    no need to get even the back wheels in the water when launching something normally. Shouldn’t be an issue
  3. For fun - Overall Size / Wheelbase of Slate truck compared to other vehicles

    I’ll be replacing my smart with the Slate. So it’s going to feel really big!
  4. Slate makes the cover of Car & Driver magazine!

    That will sell for a lot of folks like me!
  5. Slate makes the cover of Car & Driver magazine!

    I don t care about new design for the sake of new design. Lexus had done pretty well with the RX 350 which hasn’t changed it looks much at all over the years (since at least 2016). But it sells because it is reliable and comfortable. New, better technology is good but simple new design for the...
  6. Slate makes the cover of Car & Driver magazine!

    Since EVs first came out in the past several years (not back around the turn of the century when EVs were as common as CEVs. Really! Look it up. Oil guys killed the first EVs along with infrastructure technology etc) I’ve been waiting for someone to come up with a simple, minimalist WV. This...
  7. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    I think some kind of autocorrect attacked your comment. ?? :-)
  8. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    I put $100 down and waited a year for one of the first smarts to enter the country. Only drove one around the block once before that. I’ve really enjoyed it for 17 years! Great little car and so easy to park anywhere. I’m going to miss that and would be keeping it. But the Slate looks too...

    Right on! I hope Slate is listening. I sent my $50 in and hope to get one, but everything you said would really help! šŸ‘
  10. Yes, the Slate DOES compete with the Maverick (and more!)

    My son in law was ready to get a Lightening but when he found the range when towing (he pulls a camper) was about 80 miles, he opted for a Chevy Silverado 6.6 V8 and is happy.
  11. Could Slate compete with a Toyota Stout 2 door?

    The Toyota probably isn’t electric. So, apples and oranges. I’ll go with the Slate.
