Alright folks, I got to meet more members of the team at Slate! Jimmy and a couple other team members (I feel bad I can't recall their names - sorry other Slate team members!!!!) were a HUGE help in answering some of your questions, though I'm hoping you won't be TOO surprised and/or...

This is absolutely true. I have not experienced an RWD EV in the snow myself, but I have read countless stories talking about how amazing they are in the snow because of 1) the extra weight helping the tires "cut" through the snow (if they don't put silly rubber band tires on it like so many...

Maybe they call it a midslate. :p

He told me the roll bar was "integrated", which I took to mean attached to it and not removable (without some work anyway).

This is a pic I got of the bed last time. There are a looooot of places to bolt something down there.

That's what they make hole saws for. :CWL:

Last I talked to him he said the glass is removed from the front-of-bed section and used for the SUV kit.

Last time I asked about it he said the roll bar is part of the kit for the shell. Will ask about seats.

They were very clear the last time that I asked about undecided / TBD, but that's been a bit. I already reached out and they said they are happy to answer any and all questions. :)

Added to my list of questions for this weekend.

Both of my EVs are on one-pedal, it's amazing and I literally hate driving gas cars now. However, on every trip that I drive I still make sure I use the brakes a few times to prevent seizing.

In the launch video they said a pro could wrap this vehicle in as little as 30 minutes and that any ole Joe should be able to wrap it in a few hours - the panels were specifically engineered / designed to be easy to wrap. May be easier to just wrap it or put a clear/colored PPF on it.

I think they meant the actual Bronco II model / trim, not the generation. Was one of my first vehicles. I think it's definitely a pretty darn close comparison if the Bronco II had a removable cap!

I plan to open air mine and do vinyl seat covers and figure out a vinyl floor solution. Also curious if there are any drain plugs. Adding this to my list of questions.

Slate will have a truck in Warsaw (where the truck will be manufactured) this weekend, which gives me a chance to get more / more detailed photos than I did last time! Soooo... Instead of searching every thread for "I wish there was a photo of X" or "I wonder if it can do X", please post here...

Nah, I love small towns. I'm here intentionally, not by luck. 🙂

It would be AMAZING if Slate made these V2X (more specifically V2H / V2L) capable for something like Tesla's PowerShare or GM's PowerShift to be able to use the Slate Truck as a home backup battery or for camping, etc. Even if they just allowed it with an adapter that had a couple 20A/110V...

Apologies for misreading your comment. I see where you're coming from now. Have a great day!!! :)

I'm saying I've never seen anything about CT specifically. I also follow the industry very closely, I'm aware of how Tesla operates. I used to be a HUGE fanboy, now I'm a mid-range fanboy, lol. Still love my Model Y more than my Silverado EV though.
