  1. DIY vs OFT (Open For Theft)

    Seeing some of the latest pictures, with the exposed bolt heads holding things together, made me wonder how secure the Slate will be? Might you come out of a store, and discover that a body panel or three are missing? Might panels be loosened, such that thieves could use a long reach tool to...
  2. Fused 12 VDC access in the dash would be nice.

    Lots of external 12V accessories exist, so having a standard "cigarette lighter" (now often referred to as a "power point") socket would be useful, at least as an option. Which makes me wonder if there is still an ashtray in modern cars, and specifically in the blank Slate, as I haven't seen...
  3. Swing-Out Tailgate Mod for the SL8

    I'd forgotten about that station wagon tailgate. Thanks for the reminder.
  4. Swing-Out Tailgate Mod for the SL8

    That number works out to 833-44-SLATE on my dialpad....
  6. Swing-Out Tailgate Mod for the SL8

    Could be useful for some folks. Would like to see video of how that works. Having standard tailgate and ability to switch to swing out, if relatively easy, could be better overall for different use cases. Likewise for SUV and cargo, folddown & up, or door options, might both be useful for some.
  7. Swing-Out Tailgate Mod for the SL8

    Interesting idea, especially for the SUV and cargo options, where it would be a pro, together with another option for swing out doors that might be able to use the same hinging mechanism. A con, is that a folddown tailgate can extend the bed for longer loads, which wouldn't be possible with...
  8. Poll: Slate's second model - what do you think it will be?

    As a current owner of a sweet Scion xB (first generation), I'm keeping my eye on the Slate (cargo or SUV) as its eventual replacement.
  9. How to convert a reservation number to a sequence number?

    Is there a way to find out how many reservations are ahead of your own reservation?
  10. Slate Reservations Pre-Order Tracking List & Stats 📊

    Too bad the Cargo option is not listed among the body style choices.
