    Slate SUV Kit - Split Back Seat Partially Folded Down + Trunk Cargo Space (photo & video)

    I'd like the cargo kit, and use it without the bulkhead for camping (aka Slate Minivan), but until 1) the cargo kit is priced, and 2) real world pics are posted, I'm not buying. Also not splashing for the SUV kit on initial purchase for the reasons upthread.

    Question for electrophiles...

    If the clock and station memory of a head unit is killing your battery, just how long is that car sitting for?

    Slate will have OBD II port (confirmed)

    Oh, you're in for a treat. Search "obd t-adapter" next, then you can use the reader for ABRP and your dash cam at once.

    Tell me the door handles are incorrectly mounted on this Slate

    That's one way to reduce the parts count.

    Q2 delivery estimate for last minute reservations & new orders.

    I didn't realize NV was Tesla only. Looks like Phoenix would be the delivery hub if Vegas is out of the question. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-to-consumer_automobile_selling_in_the_United_States

    Oops- Running out of juice! Portable backup battery pack?

    Until charging stations are as common as gas stations, you're asking a lot of the average driver.

    Anyone else burned out on all the Slate Videos?

    That's the rub media isn't it? Notice how easy it is to pick apart a vid/review when you have a good grasp on the subject matter? Now think about all the things that you accept because you may not have as good of a grasp on the subject. There's no reason to think that you as the receiver...

    Get a new Polestar 4 cheaper than a Slate SUV

    Once is never. Twice is always. GM's had one bankruptcy already. And yeah, Garmin, Strava, and Fitbit have compromised more secure locations than any car. I think it's more about the OEMs realizing the size of the goldmine they found and deciding they don't want to share. Especially when the...

    From TheDrive.com - Ford’s CEO Doesn’t Want You Fixing Your New Bronco. He Says It’s About Safety

    In my '12 Jeep, I just toggled TPMS off. Had one iffy sensor that kept throwing the light. Survived this long without it, I'll be fine. Mostly it's a liability shield for the OEM. "See your light was on, the rollover was your fault, no matter how crappy the tires we put on it are." Also, no...

    Slate truck overlay vs other small trucks

    Good catch. I'm thinking the rolling brick comparison that seems to be popular might not be so accurate.

    There's a few places I go that have zero cell service. I wonder how long one of these connected cars could stand to be offline but still usable.

    The '27 Bolt is also looking like it might be having center screen problems. Even the one edmunds bought for a long term test has been acting up. Our Year With the Chevy Bolt Is Off to a Glitchy Start
