    Poll: Which part of the Slate website are you looking forward to the most?

    What I'm really looking forward to is an updated "Specs" page. With dynamic roof load and more dimensions - the roof, the frunk, the bed. As well as the weights of the various kits and accessories, so that you can figure out the actual payload. And hoping that the cargo van with windows will be...

    New TFL Truck Slate video from LA

    Nah, I just listened to them on the radio. Everyone I knew did, they were fun. Most of us weren't otherwise into cars:) And I agree with your use cases. I'd also say that Slate is perfect for empty nesters who just want one car. People visiting usually bring their own. I'm planning on doing...

    New TFL Truck Slate video from LA

    I never heard of this guy before. He "really wants to like" the Slate, though he clearly doesn't. What BS. Just like his channel. That's my impression anyway. He has 1 million subscribers. That's impressive. But there are a lot more car buyers out there who have never heard of him. People who...

    Anyone else have Chris Barman randomly like your FB posts?

    No idea. I got kicked off of Facebook this summer. My happy birthday posts and shares about gardening and bees apparently violated community standards. They wanted me to upload a video selfie with my face at different angles (they would direct me). So, I let them kill my account. I miss the easy...

    The Hypothetical Vehicle I Would Chose Over The Slate

    I did have a look at the website. Yikes. 22 MPG and no A/C (or even heat in the truck). And they mentioned the Slate and lied about it. Glad it's fake. Hope nobody sends them money.

    Slate SF Bay Event - Hollister, CA - Swank Farms Fall Experience (& Photos Update)

    These events are cool, it's great to get to talk to people from Slate. They always strike me as loving their jobs too. I hope you'll be able to get to one somewhere. Especially hoping that it won't be too too long before they start the test drives. Edit - just checked out your YouTube channel -...

    Slate SF Bay Event - Hollister, CA - Swank Farms Fall Experience (& Photos Update)

    They really didn't know yet. I did tell them that other people in this group also wanted the cargo kit with windows. One of the sales reps told me that originally the cargo kit was just going to be for fleets, but there was a lot of demand to make it available to the public. So I guess it would...

    Slate SF Bay Event - Hollister, CA - Swank Farms Fall Experience (& Photos Update)

    I won't be able to make it back. But hopefully there are other people in the South San Francisco Bay Area who will. With their cameras at the ready. Especially since they will be there later on Friday & Saturday. Nearby Hollister is a little town with some good restaurants on the main street...

    Slate SF Bay Event - Hollister, CA - Swank Farms Fall Experience (& Photos Update)

    I went to the Slate event today at Swank Farms. https://www.slate.auto/en/events The transport vehicle had some kind of trouble today, but the truck with the SUV kit will be there for Friday & Saturday. I had a text today from the Sales team, and the truck arrived today (Friday) and will be...

    Cargo Kit Option with Windows

    This is exactly what I want! A cargo topper with a roof rack. With side and back windows. Fingers crossed! With a different wrap, of course.😉

    If the Slate PU came only as an ICE, I would buy one.

    I've had the alternator breakdown on the highway in three different cars. I'm really looking forward to never having an alternator again.

    How and when did you hear about Slate?

    I saw a short video about Slate in the spring and thought it sounded interesting, but then got busy with other things. Then, this summer, when I was looking into electric trucks, I saw another video about the Slate and was hooked. I had previously looked at Rivian, but they're just way too big...

    Jeff Bezos's $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

    Yep, I want the top with no seats and windows too. Not sure about the rollbars - I want to put a roof rack on and I'm not sure what's required. I did write to Slate to ask about a few options, so we'll see what they say.
