Hoping in July there will be one of these events closer than 1000 miles from me. I'm retired so I'll just hop in my hybrid maverick and ROAAAAADTRIP. And yeah, I'm all in even it it goes to 30K starting price. It's exactly what I've been telling everyone I want for 10 years.
June Events
What I think I heard in the reveal is there will be a service agreement between Slate and a national chain like Firestone or Christian Brothers that will handle warranty issues, accessory installation, and wrapping. There may be showrooms like Tesla has in Texas, but I doubt there will be...
Just was looking at slate website and saw my reservation date is 4/25. Then noticed the third set of numbers on my reservation number is 4250. Anyone else get a match like this?
Went with this color to match the side stripe, which I hope will be available in other colors, but this orange is growing on me. What would you call this color, Papaya?
Thanks dude! Yes, that's the general idea. I'll have to see if it grows on me. Not sure that the stock front might be better with the gray contrast than an overall white, but at least now I can imagine it.. DM me and I'll send you money for some lunch.
Popular mod for the street custom crowd, using a clear or white frosted lens and a led bulb that is orange or red so during the day you don't have side markers that clash with your color scheme and yet they still are legal when glowing at night.
Not a big deal but a nice little upgrade for...
I have two builds saved. One for the way I'm going to purchase my slate, and one for what I'm going to transform it into eventually. The main thing they have in common is the white lower half-wrap. I love the two-tone look like the silverados in the 70's. I'm posting the pics below.
What I'm...
I have a maverick. Even if the slate cost 30K I'll still buy it because I'll never have to repair any of the 2200 moving parts in an ice drivetrain. I've had a string of bad luck in gas cars lately. 2017 Colorado with a rear diff that kept eating bearings, Scion engine with low tension rings...
Back about 10 years ago I bought a 69 C-10 which was something I had always wanted. The passenger mirror drove me crazy. The right door window crank was barely working and required a crap-ton of torque to turn so going out and around the truck was easier. But the damn mirror wouldn't stay in...
Thanks! I'll look into it, but it seemed to me that the friday deal for the public is outdoors and probably won't see a lot of the stuff on display. I hope to find someone who has been to the friday event and can tell me about it.
Me in a vehicle with manual mirrors:
1. Get out and go around to passenger side and make best guess on alignment.
2. Get back in and see I guessed way off.
3. Get back out and adjust again.
4. Get back in and see it's almost there.
5. Get back out and make minor adjustment.
6. Get back in and...
