  1. Key Reasons: How Slate Can Build an EV Truck That Only Costs $27,000

    Which is funny as I had three of those FJs that you own over the years (never modding any of them) yet paid through the nose (new) for every single one of them. After they all rusted out despite my best efforts, I purchased a '22 Tundra currently waiting on one of the largest engine recalls...
  2. Unrealistic Delivery Date

    Our problem at the present time (at least fore some of us) is inflation. Doesn't really matter 'when' if the latter destroys our buying power any further, Slate prices soar and/or if the government decides (as it should) that we shouldn't be helping anyone purchase anything let alone expensive...
  3. Now that the dust has settled...

    Not trying to throw water on our party here as I'd love to see a video from one of these upcoming Slate gatherings featuring an engineer this passionate about comparing the Slate to everything else out there for the price...yet I think that it is a pretty good example of how fast that things...
  4. Now that the dust has settled...

    Revisiting the obvious (price being everything for some of us). Here is but one example of another $20K 'car' where an American-based engineering team held absolutely nothing back in an effort to compare their new offering to all current/future comers on value alone. This car was poised to...
  5. Now that the dust has settled...

    From what I can gather and have purchased myself yet not tried; you're better off saving either your dinosaur oil or electrons and taking along one of these and a small LiP04 power source just in case. At least you'll have enough fuel to get home when the problem passes:
  6. Fast-Charging at home for Slate EV possibly by eliminating onboard charger-inverter (using Exro's Coil Driver inverter technology_

    "...The Nissan Leaf has a V2H function (it’s the only EV on the market with both V2G and V2H), and it can supply up to 7 kW of electricity and provide electricity to your home for around two days...." So how does the Slate power plant compare to a Leaf and what is the comparative (minimum) kW...
  7. Share your Slate build configuration images!

    If they're promising no paint and only wraps it will be interesting to see what they will let customers come up with if anything.
  8. Option costs

    The battery upgrade cost will be the dealbreaker for me in terms of whether I spring for anything further. Hopefully they'll realize that a low bare bones cost doesn't really mean anything if they immediately stick it to you regarding the #1 pure functionality item. I just want a bare bones...
  9. Fast-Charging at home for Slate EV possibly by eliminating onboard charger-inverter (using Exro's Coil Driver inverter technology_

    My #1 reason for purchasing was for the opportunity to back feed my home and/or have plenty of power off-grid as the Ford Lightning has proven; especially with the new chargers that they finally got around to developing. What will Slate be saying about these capabilities in the near future and...
