    Will headlight bulbs be LED, halogen or incadescent

    99% sure they'd be LED.

    Why Doug DeMuro Thinks the Slate Truck Will Fail

    I'm 50 and nearing my first retirement (will work another 15 years) but moving to a large property about the time this thing is released and the idea of something I can just putter around town in, that I drive (not the other way around), seems very appealing to me. I'm an empty nester so there's...

    Why Doug DeMuro Thinks the Slate Truck Will Fail

    Yeah, the CT was always absurd and wasn't sure what market it really served.

    One-Pedal Driving confirmed for Slate truck

    Regen is table stakes for an EV. Nothing is really one-pedal driving though. There's just greatly reduced use of the friction brakes. Heck, when I was a kid most cars were three pedal driving. Try convincing a Gen Z person that this was a thing. haha

    Electric Power Mirrors Add-on PLEASE

    This is very true. You're supposed to adjust the passenger mirror out until you can just see the side of the vehicle when you're looking from the center, and the driver's mirror out until you can just see the side of the car when your head is pressed against the window.

    Electric Power Mirrors Add-on PLEASE

    I'd be ok with it being an optional thing. I want to keep costs down, so I don't want this, and it's kind of a first world problem for me to manually adjust the mirrors.

    Why Just One Color?

    Sure it does. More colors is against their business approach.

    Headlights

    Plastic weighs less. Any reduction in weight increases range.

    Heat Pump vs Resistive Heater

    Agreed. This will be a huge consideration.

    Why Doug DeMuro Thinks the Slate Truck Will Fail

    Oh interesting. Great. A bench would be terrific in the rare chance I'd have a second passenger - and likely wouldn't be for long distances.

    Walmart EV Charging Network Plans to Blanket US

    This was a great video. I'm excited to see the largest retailer in the world getting serious about charging. There's a business in it for sure.

    Does the vehicle have any 110v outlets?

    I haven't seen any in all the videos I've seen. I'd say no. Remember, they're keeping this vehicle simple.

    Chargeway - the app you'll need

    Will look into it. Tough to beat PlugShare (and the native Tesla app and nav system).

    Tesla Supercharging ?

    A NACS port isn't enough to state for sure that it will be able to charge via the SC network. They will need a partnership with Tesla. As a Tesla owner the last five years, I can attest to the reliability of the network. Never had an issue charging (short of a broken stall which is rare). I've...

    Share your Slate build configuration images!

    I really am liking the magma color for accents.

    Key fob customizations - colors and screwdriver

    I saw in the demos and in when using the "Maker" that the fob appears to be slid into a receptacle of some sorts. Can anyone tell if the fob has to be inserted to drive, or is it kept in the pocket?

    Key fob customizations - colors and screwdriver

    The only thing "remote start" would be good for is to run the HVAC to heat the battery in winter.

    How do you deal with airbags and shoulder seat belt with a front bench? I didn't see any indication of a center airbag.

    One-Pedal Driving confirmed for Slate truck

    I doubt that will be the case.

    Why Doug DeMuro Thinks the Slate Truck Will Fail

    I have really enjoyed Doug's series where he reviews cars. This podcast format is not well suited for his personality. He cuts people off, he comes off as arrogant and dismissive. Unwatchable.
