  1. Video: Slate SUV top rear glass hinge flips up + cargo area room / size (relative to hockey bag)

    Deal breaker for sure. Also this video didn't answer what thread pitch are the lug nuts so I'm probably gonna cancel mine ;)
  2. Video: Slate SUV top rear glass hinge flips up + cargo area room / size (relative to hockey bag)

    This forum just gets more annoying at every video release. 😭😭😭😭😭😭This fun short form content video didn't answer the specific niche question that I didn't actually ask them and now I'm here to cry about it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 FFS go ask Slate if you have questions. That's the whole point of these videos...
  3. Ford Level 3 Eyes-Off Driving to launch on $30K Ford EV Truck

    Now tell them one has the promised vehicle on the road driving today, and the other has..... powerpoint presentations?
  4. Ford Level 3 Eyes-Off Driving to launch on $30K Ford EV Truck

    Absolutely bonkers that any one would believe anything coming from the most recalled brand in 2025, that just took a nearly $20 billion write off on their EV program, and has shown nothing material related to this vehicle besides press releases and one possible exterior image. This was an...
  5. Ford Level 3 Eyes-Off Driving to launch on $30K Ford EV Truck

    I'll take things that will never come to fruition for $500, Alex.
  6. Slate & Saturn- Similar Histories so far

    I don't think people forget this. I think people forget that profitability doesn't have to happen on day one. People on here seem to act like if Slate doesn't turn a huge profit on every vehicle and immediately sells every single one they produce then it will be out of business by the middle of...
  7. Slate & Saturn- Similar Histories so far

    No, but history books exist. And even a cursory glance of some wikipedia pages would tell very different stories of these companies origins, goals, leadership, target markets, funding, production, etc. etc. etc.
  8. Slate & Saturn- Similar Histories so far

    You think Slate and Saturn are similar because people on an internet forum are asking similar questions now as they were nearly 30 years ago? And that they are supposed to be lower priced vehicles? About the only thing they have in common is 4 wheels and a name that starts with an S. This is...
  9. Slate OEM roof rack hauling roof cargo box, skis, snowboard, sled...

    Yeah I'm also curious what people recommend for a dog passenger in the truck configuration. Doggie seat belt?
  10. Slate Q&A is Getting a Bad Rap

    That's one perspective. Or you can view it as they went through a lot of effort to show they are listening to the community and want to give the information they can, rather than hiding in the dark and going quiet from now until deliveries.
  11. Slate Q&A is Getting a Bad Rap

    Yeah here's a fun exercise for all the Maverick boys and the Q&A poopooers: Go email Ford asking about the universal EV platform they've been hyping. Ask something really specific and niche like I'm sure a lot of people asked Slate. Then come back here and let me know if they give a very...
  12. Carpet in the Cab, Why??

    I would assume it is largely for cost and NVH I don't expect the Slate to be super quiet out of the box, carpet will help with some of that resonance
  13. Who’s Reserving the Slate EV: Everyday Americans, Young Professionals, New Drivers, Contemporary Seniors, Auto Enthusiasts

    Seriously what do you people gain from coming in to every thread and screaming "BUT YOU CAN GET A MAVERICK" and creating hypothetical families in your heads Like what is your end goal? What are you hoping to get out of it? Because to me you all just come across as either huffing copium trying...
  14. Who’s Reserving the Slate EV: Everyday Americans, Young Professionals, New Drivers, Contemporary Seniors, Auto Enthusiasts

    What I've noticed from this Maverick crowd is just a whole bunch of confirmation bias. They come in here trying to convince themselves that they made the right choice. They got bullied by the full size truck crowd telling them their little truck wasnt a real truck, so they flood other forums...
  15. Who’s Reserving the Slate EV: Everyday Americans, Young Professionals, New Drivers, Contemporary Seniors, Auto Enthusiasts

    Not exactly sold out when someone in this thread posted a dealer with over 40 on their lot, my local dealer has over 260 available for transfer in their network, and a thread on MTC just the other reported nearly 50,000 more produced in 2025 than were sold YTD. November 2025 gross stock reported...
