The one thing I would like a solar panel for in an EV would be to power the Battery temperature management system to optimize battery health and longevity in sunny hot areas.

That's mainly just an example of gripes I have with it. Why should I have to swipe screen to my right, when I can easily just swipe the vent in front of me? It's just another part that can fail and extra cost and complexity that isn't needed.

I'm guessing they probably can't due to mixed health cells causing issues. Kinda like using a mix of alkaline and rechargeable AAs.

From one of the interviews, it sounded like the numbers weren't final yet. When I compare it to other similar EVs that have similar motors and batteries, the numbers Slate gives are underestimated. This could be due to terrible aerodynamics or they just want to underpromise. Vinfast got into...

This has been the best closeup of the frunk yet. The largest cap is probably covering the windshield washer fluid reservoir.

That one screen to rule them all is the biggest reason I never want a Tesla. I want the speedometer to be in front of me. Also, I don't want to have to go through menus to adjust things like the vents, why do those need motors anyway?

one name i saw in the media is calling Slate the "Anti Cybertruck", and given the lack of tech I can see why.

The Slate FAQ states they will have financing available for the truck and accessories at the time of purchase. No details known as of now.

I don't expect Slate will ever add this, but they won't stop you from adding it to yours.

Biggest problem is that this could be a vulnerability and make it easier to steal. If it requires tapping a button on the screen rather than doing it automatically it could mitigate this.

I don't like comparing a truck with a tow package to one without tow. That tow rating on the Slate might not be final and could change when they test it before release.
