    Slate Truck vs. Extreme Cold, Snow, Ice (Testing by Engineers) - Documentary Video

    Houghton, Michigan is a BEAUTIFUL little city/town. Been there once or twice and loved everything about it. Even though a different place in the UP was our preferred location, we almost bought a house just south of Houghton, it was so nice. Sadly, the foundation had a big and problematic...

    The Slate needs a lower price. I know they are not pickups, (most are crossovers/SUVs), but with rebates, % and other deals I can get several other E

    I like the Slate enough that the price is a secondary concern (so long as it stays below $30k).

    Article: Why Slate's CEO Isn't Too Worried About Cheap Chinese EVs

    One could look at it as reciprocation, right? As in, you open up your market, we open up ours. Right? I hear you, but we have enough Chinese "spy machines" here already. I would be more inclined to say yes if they opened up their software architecture for inspection so that we would know where...

    Article: Slate 'Aspires' to Launch More Vehicles After Two-Door Pickup Truck

    The thread pic is of one VERY nice vehicle. Here's to hoping!

    Article: Why Slate's CEO Isn't Too Worried About Cheap Chinese EVs

    Chinese vehicles (be it gas, EV, or EREV) should NOT be allowed in the US. Period. For a variety of reasons (political, economic, strategic, etc.). Just say NO. YMMV

    Who wants this battery in their blank Slate?

    I know nothing about the battery industry, but from my limited/outsider perspective, battery tech today seems to be just like the RAM and HD advances in the 80s and 90s. What supposedly was impossible or just too difficult turned out to be neither. I started on a Tandy 4k color computer with...

    Will Slate Make Their Battery ‘Easily’ Replacable?

    Would be interested to read that thread. If it's easy for you, would you be able to find and post? TIA. Otherwise I'll internet search for it.

    Slate & Saturn- Similar Histories so far

    I liked the original post. And I can understand why those who didn't didn't. But the immediate dismissal of the OP was off-putting. To me, the point of the post was the last para: I agree. 100%

    THIS! is why I can't wait to swap my truck for a Slate: maintenance & service costs

    At least you got the complimentary world class multi-point inspection. So there's that, right? 😃

    OFFICIAL: Slate truck production plant in Warsaw, Indiana 💪 [MORE DETAILS]

    I'm gonna push back a little bit on one part of your excellent comment. My 4-dr BL had a production date of Aug 2024. So maybe some progress, but not entirely fixed. Even Broncos I'm seeing that are currently on dealer lots still have the cracks.

    OFFICIAL: Slate truck production plant in Warsaw, Indiana 💪 [MORE DETAILS]

    Mine started cracking less than four months after coming off the line. Waiting on the dealership for the replacement. During the time I've had it it's been covered by carport and cover. The Webasto cardboard top is literally the only thing I don't like about my Bronco. Once I run out of...

    OFFICIAL: Slate truck production plant in Warsaw, Indiana 💪 [MORE DETAILS]

    So, essentially, 2027? At the earliest? Meaning, probably wouldn't get it until 2028? I may not even be alive by then! :crying: I was in the middle of eating when I read the dreaded "W" word in your post. I lost my appetite. As I'm sure all of us who have a Bronco with the MIC top do when we...
