Cool, go get your $50 back. The rest of us made a reservation knowing it was going to be RWD. If you want a more expensive, more complex drive train the good news is there are plenty of other options out there for you.

What.

Seriously, I bet it's even.... royalty free GASP :eek: guess I better go check out my local legacy auto manufacturers for sale lot because they are definitely NEVER annoying in any way.....

Deal breaker for sure. Also this video didn't answer what thread pitch are the lug nuts so I'm probably gonna cancel mine ;)

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...

Now tell them one has the promised vehicle on the road driving today, and the other has..... powerpoint presentations?

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...

I'll take things that will never come to fruition for $500, Alex.

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...

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...

Yeah I'm also curious what people recommend for a dog passenger in the truck configuration. Doggie seat belt?

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.

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...

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
