    I looked and the address is 3918 Mason St San Diego which appears close to Old Town. I can’t wait to see it again and drive in it! šŸ¢šŸ‘

    Nice article from MIT -- Is Slate Auto’s new electric truck the EV Americans need? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    The article pointed out two main things for me. Not everyone shares these thoughts, but since I own a fully loaded leather interior, top of everything, but John Cooper Works Mini Countryman, I decided to get back to my younger days of driving a truck similar to the 1980 Datsun I owned as a US...

    Chris Barman: Warsaw Plant Reopen Ceremony Aug 28 2025: test drives, tours planned!

    I specifically asked Slate during the San Diego Slate and Coffee Event held last year if I could pick my truck up at the plant? I’ve expressing my firm belief around the Slate truck on our Instagram feed since May of 2025. (I am not a rep of Slate) The product and sales said he would look i to...

    New Merch Added 07/31/2026

    I picked up the original Slate hat, the New Slate hat. The original T-shirt at the SanDiego viewing of the pickup at the coffee shop. But while I was there wearing my OG Slate T and Hat someone slid me a new T-Shirt from Slate. I’ve been posting about the Slate since it inception in May 2025. I...

    Financial reasons for buying options with the Slate, or later?

    Thank you for that, that’s an option I may make too for a couple of items like the bed cover, and roof rack. 🐢

    Run Flat Tires anyone?

    I am going all in with Sparco Rally rims with the off road tires that come on the off-road version. RockArmor mud guards and mounting a lightweight spare(DONUT) as this will be used on fire roads. šŸ‘šŸ¢

    Financial reasons for buying options with the Slate, or later?

    I am going with door #1, Blank Slate at first. Here’s my thinking behind this choice. 1. I have had so my vehicles that had this cool thing or that, but the ideaā€˜s were great, I never used them. I have a very nice Nav system in my Mini Countryman, but I use Google Maps with Apple play...

    White Slate towing U-Haul trailer (hot weather testing photos)! Mater's had a rough life .

    I’m all in with Slate towing. It’s a short distance from my house to the bay. (Small sailboat) Yellow wrap so the California drivers can’t miss my setup going down the freeway!! Also, the Maveric 4dr comparing added parts like or equal to a Slate and the base for a Maveric blows into the...

    Would real mechanics buy the Slate Truck? 3 mechanics comment

    Infotainment is a has been. The European community has had to add buttons and hand controls for a lot of the automobiles. Slate is KSS don’t reinvent the wheel. Most vehicles now are over engineered both in suspension, structural and electrical. I see more people who don’t use the bed for...

    Crash testing and Repairability

    Just an opinion. Tesla, has Lipo batteries that when a slight puncture will turn it into a 4th of July Roman Candle! I have experimented with these batteries, since we fly very large RC Planes. Tesla has hedged towards caution as the only thing done when the battery is breached, the fire...

    Slate says it takes 12 hours to build one pickup

    I am betting just in Warsaw. Watching a YouTube of Porsche build 911’s it took quite a few more hours due to hand made dash covers, with hand made leather seats and steering wheels. Fascinating video!! šŸ¢šŸ‘€

    California: SB168 passed for $3500 instant POS rebate! $21,450 for a base Slate ? Anyone know if Slate will participate ?

    I live in San Diego, actually ā€œEast Countyā€ we’ve seen the up tick of EV especially Rivan. Most if not all of Amazon delivery vehicles are EV’s and I would love to see UPS do the same, as they’re still use gas and the stop and go’s really have poor fuel mileage. I am the last of the...

    Why to buy a Slate

    I decided on the Slate for a number of reasons. 1. It has Lithium Phosphate batteries. Being an large plane RC guy, I’ve seen my fair share of Lipo battery fires! 2. Size, at 62 yrs old I had a 1980 Datsun 720 pickup that got 200 miles on a ten gallon tank with the equivalent bed.Americans have...
