  1. Owners manuals

    Hard copy would be great!
  2. Factory Delivery option

    . No matter when the post was, unless something changes a Slate shouldn’t be towed on all 4 wheels. Could damage the drivetrain.
  3. Factory Delivery option

    Sorry. Glad to hear that. Somehow it didn’t come across to me like that.
  4. Factory Delivery option

    You obviously don’t know the caliber of people and the process they've been through since 2022. I am so impressed with who they are and what they have done. Why are you so negative?
  5. Factory Delivery option

    Seems I heard the Slate can’t be towed unless on a trailer. Might want to check that out.
  6. Factory Delivery option

    This sounds great. Thanks. The Orlando area would be handy! šŸ™‚. But anywhere in Florida will work for me. I see the Slate as iconic as the Model T and VW bug (my first car btw) and I so look forward to being a part of this! Thank you thank you for doing this!
  7. I've stopped defending the Slate

    I’m definitely with you on this. I’m buying the Slate as much to support their whole philosophy and approach as to get a really cool and ā€œthinking out of the boxā€ vehicle!
  8. Max speed - 90mph?

    My smart is limited to 90. Plenty fast.
  9. My latest build and wallpaper

    I love the white top and white wheels! No matter what the color, the white wheels would be a great choice. I wish they came standard.
  10. The car I had dreamed of before the slate.

    I’ve had my smart for 18 years. It was one of the first in the country. I’ve loved it and still do in many ways. The premium gas was always a bummer, but it’s always a conversation piece, fun to drive and you can park it anywhere. When/if it’s done, the Slate would replace it.
  11. I think I am “over The Slate”

    I totally get it! I too signed up early, and if I needed a 3rd car I’d get it. But as much as I like the idea of the minimalist barebones vehicle (and electric) I really don’t need a 3rd car. We have a nice Lexus for road trips and I need my big old pickup for towing my boats. So, since the...
  12. Article: Why Slate's CEO Isn't Too Worried About Cheap Chinese EVs

    I really like the barebones minimalist approach to Slate. But the ā€œcustomableā€ part is a little over done I think. To make it an SUV I’m sure would put it over $30K. And other ā€œcustomizationā€ seems mostly cosmetic. Not like putting on a high performance muffler or a new carburetor or new...
  13. Q&A with CEO Chris Barman (Dec 16, 2025). Slateforums gets a shout out šŸ™Œ

    What you say makes sense. But for me, who now lives in Florida, I guess it won’t be an issue. 😊. Merry Christmas! šŸŽ„
  14. First drive review of Slate truck coming on Jay Leno's Garage!

    And add white wheels! šŸ‘šŸ˜Š
  15. First drive review of Slate truck coming on Jay Leno's Garage!

    I think the wheels painted white, especially on that truck, would look great.
