    Slate Video: Lawn Tool Fit Check

    They forgot the battery pack for the weedeater. But the truck has enough range for them to come back and get it.

    Nissan rolls out new 3rd generation Leaf. 300 mile range.

    Normally I would and yes, you are correct. Moore‘s law is the one. But the way things are going right now with all the political noise. I think I’ll stick with Murphy’s Law.

    Nissan rolls out new 3rd generation Leaf. 300 mile range.

    Murphys law is working with EV’s. I have a 2021 Mustang Mach-E premium (2021 RWD Big battery) 305 mile range cost $52k. I have a 2022 MINI Cooper S EV that was near $40k. 105 mile range. New Mach-E RWD with LFP battery 265 mile range. $39k. New leaf $35K approx 300 mile range. Slate...

    This might be a Drag on Slates success.

    And the price is more…not so much a threat. Ford should be more worried than Slate

    Article: Ram CEO: Slate Vehicles Won't Be So Cheap Once Buyers Get Done Optioning Them Up

    When selling anything especially something new like the Slate truck going up in price is painfully hard down in price is remarkably easy. Particularly if you have a lot of margin in your vehicle. My bet is that slate has a lot of margin.

    What Would You Do if The Slate Truck Does Not Manifest?

    This question sent my imagination to overdrive. My plan is to replace a MINI Cooper S EV with the Slate. Then I remembered John Cooper made a MINI pickup Photo of one. Maybe I could cut the back open and have a truck. Then reality returned and I will drive the wheels off the MINI.

    Why Doug DeMuro Thinks the Slate Truck Will Fail

    Suggestion: DIY Delivery Center @ Slate Plant in IN

    Suggestion: DIY Delivery Center @ Slate Plant in IN

    I asked and the answer for now was ‘not at this time’. I would love a factory pickup. Rivian does it. Many other MFG do it. Lots of good prior suggestions.

    Delivery to your home no matter where you live (confirms Slate Auto)

    Some Slate investment came from Mark Walter who is invested in Carvana. While having the other investor (Jeff Bezos) have Amazon deliver the Slate seems well cute. Carvana has all the services and infrastructure to do it.

    Apple CarPlay Ultra

    Yes, the open question is the Slate App and integration such as OBD2 data. When I posed the question the answer was along the lines of ’thinking about those things and thanks for brining it up’.

    Double Din Car Stereo Aftermarket Head Unit / Radio Capable (confirmed by Slate CEO)

    I am going with an IPad and a BT or USB speaker. IOS and Android have radio apps. Wait I have a better idea an IPad and 2 HomePOD mini's. The Android crowd can do the same thing with a couple Echo's. Now for the 110v inverter.....

    RWD regenerative braking

    What’s actually interesting? Is that most 2 wheel drive EV‘s have been rear wheel drive no matter the size. In addition to my Mach-E I have a mini Cooper EV which is 2 Wheel drive electric and it is Front Wheel Drive (basically a BMW I3 rwd flipped around). Between the 2 of them there is not a...

    RWD regenerative braking

    I have a Mustang Mach E premium 2 Wheel Dr. with an extended battery. It is a rear wheel drive only car. It’s great. It handles well no issues. The regenerative breaking works fine. I fully expect the rear wheel drive for slate will be just fine considering that the motor is at the rear axle.
