What you say makes sense. But for me, who now lives in Florida, I guess it won’t be an issue. 😊. Merry Christmas! 🎄

And add white wheels! 👍😊

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

Yep. Like I said, much of the time 4WD is not needed. But like you said, there are times when it is needed. My son lives in a place where without 4WD he might not make it out of the neighborhood.

. Being raised in Michigan in the 50s and 60s I don’t get the need for 4WD! I know it’s handy sometimes and maybe even necessary at times but we never had it and my current old pickup doesn’t have 4WD. Most of the time there’s really no need for it. As Click and Clack the Car Talk guys used...

I would love to see some of the Slate University content! Re charging, maintenance, adding options, etc. 👍

Back in the day (1960s-‘70s) O-60 in 10 seconds was pretty good! 0-60 in 8 seconds was pretty great! I don’t see any problem with the 0-60 time and even the top speed. Honestly, how often would anyone need anything faster? All looks good to me.

We have a 30 amp plug on our house for when my son comes to visit in his RV. I’m thinking I could use that for my Slate. Will have to do some more checking on that. This will be my first EV.

I plan on painting the wheels, the grill and the top white. Kinda like some of the new Broncos. Love that look. No other modifications.

Re the color of the wheels, I too haven’t been a fan of all black either. But I plan on painting my wheels white soon after I get it along with painting the grill white and maybe the top. Kinda like some of the new Broncos. I love that look.

I’m looking forward to seeing one in person. But I’ve called Slate a couple times about different things and the people I’ve talked to have been wonderful! I want to buy a Slate just to help support them!

I was thinking the same thing about the Slate being a great first car for a teen or college bound kid. In fact I’m buying mine thinking in 6 or 7 years my now 10 year old grandson would be ready for a car and I could pass it along to him. I’m 77 years old so who knows how long I’ll be hanging...

Totally agree! Thanks for posting. I hope Slate stays strong and has a bright future. I think many of us feel like you do.

so happy to see the Slate handled the heat so well! I live in Florida and it will see plenty of heat! Can’t wait! 👍

. Really happy to see good results with the heat. I live in Florida and heat is an issue. Sounds like the Slate will handle it well! 👍. Can’t wait!
