    Article: Slate Auto CEO Chris Barman tells us how exactly it’s making a $25,000 EV

    Yes. These go counterclockwise on drivers door to lower and clockwise on passenger door. Opposite to my 63 bug, 67 falcon, 57 chevy, 67 delta 88, 81 mustang, 81 chevette, 74 Monte carlo, 84 Mazda SE-5, and 69 chevy C-10. I've probably forgot a couple.

    Article: Slate Auto CEO Chris Barman tells us how exactly it’s making a $25,000 EV

    I have no problem with the manual windows. I have a problem with the fact that they TURN THE WRONG WAY! AUGGGH!... (but I'll get over it).....(but I bet I sprain my wrist the first 5 times I use it.)

    Article: Slate trucks will cost less than an average used car, even without tax credits

    The volkswagon Beetle was selling around 400K a year in the us at it's height in the later 60's. A two door cramped vehicle with no bed and very little storage. I'm not saying the Slate will be a cultural icon like that but I think it has the best shot of any vehicle since.

    Article: Slate trucks will cost less than an average used car, even without tax credits

    The announcement video states, "Mid Twenties", and then says, "with current incentives under Twenty. It doesn't seem to me that they've actually changed their price at all. They've always been above board about the incentive imho.

    Were you first drawn to the Slate itself or the headline price?

    I selected "must have" simply because from the second I read about it, and then saw the intro video, I knew I must have it. I've wanted a small electric truck forever.

    Your questions answered AND 360 photos! (saw white Slate & met team members in Warsaw)

    My wife's Hyundai fob just needs to be in your pocket to open and start car, but also has a key built into the fob that pops out with the press of a small button. That way you don't have to worry about where to keep the key. Maybe Slate is considering something similar?

    Adding a screen for AA/Carplay is WAY cheaper than I thought it would be

    That's just the url that amazon created when I searched "carplay screen for car". I don't know why it was so long. When I do it now it isn't. I'll replace it. The only affiliation I have is with the national club of lazy bastages.

    Adding a screen for AA/Carplay is WAY cheaper than I thought it would be

    Slate has said one of the panels is in fact double-din sized. I'm guessing it's the one on the right of the steering wheel.

    Adding a screen for AA/Carplay is WAY cheaper than I thought it would be

    I didn't even know these exist. The quality probably isn't great, but could be a cheap solution to hold you over till you can afford a double din headunit. Any where from 45 dollars to a couple of hundred. Amazon link youtube reviews

    July 5th Detroit Event Photos of factory gray Slate pickup

    Just watched again and noticed there is no drivers side mirror. I would have loved to see the attachment.

    How does the Slate turn on?

    There are physical keyholes in the doors and the tailgate so there will be a physical key supplied for those, but whether it's in the fob like Hyundai/Kia or something else is yet to be determined.

    Expected price now "Mid-Twenties" for Slate truck

    I'm repeating myself here. Sorry. But even if it costs more than a loaded Maverick, I'll still buy it because having a drivetrain with 20-30 moving parts in lieu of 2000 is worth more to me than a competitive price.

    Place Your Bets! (actual blank Slate starting price contest)

    Yes. These should be no tax, no fee and no delivery.

    Place Your Bets! (actual blank Slate starting price contest)

    Post your best guess for the base price, before delivery charge, down to the penny if you want, and I'll buy a slate hat for the closest to the actual price. If several people get it right, I'll draw one of their names out of a hat. My guess, $ 24,999.00 Winner will get hat once slate opens...

    Dark Blue Wrapped Slate Pickup w/ 20" Wheels, All-Terrain Tires, Roof Rack, Bed Rack, Running Boards @ Moto Social Club in Ferndale (Detroit, MI)

    How close is the color match for the magma colored front vent accessory, and the side stripe in person? In some photos they don't match, and in some they do. As you can see from my avatar I plan on getting both of those options. Thanks for the pics!!
