Yup! 😊

You got this Slate! I’ve been waiting for a minimalist basic EV since they first started coming out.

Seems I remember when 0-60 in 10 seconds was something to brag about! This was back in the 60s. Back then my car was an old VW beetle and top speed on a good day was maybe 70. How things have changed!

I heard somewhere that just plugging into a regular wall socket charges fine and the slower charge is easier on the batteries in the long term. Can anyone verify that? I’m real new to the EV thing.

I really appreciate this info, never having had an EV (other than my little ZOOM scooter. How do you know this about not getting to zero or charging to 100%? And is it better to let it get down to 30% or so before recharging or just top off every night to 80%? I’m hoping Slate will give good...

I love the white top. Would look great with white wheels!

I’ve been looking for a minimalist vehicle. Never considered the Maverick.

You would think Trump would want to help the reindustialization of America.

Mid 60s VW Cost $35 had a wrecked front corner. Fixed it up. Loved it. As basic as it gets. Why I like the Slate. After a few years it got totaled in a snowstorm by a big Plymouth. But still have a girl…58 years and counting! ❤️

This guy doesn’t understand what some of us have been looking for. As a teenager I loved the Roadrunner. Basic, no frills, muscle car. I loved my old Geo Tracker, basic, crank windows, no AC even. Finally someone is listening. I’m ordering the Slate as is! No options! I’ll probably just...

Makes sense to me. My slate would just be an around town truck anyway. We have another car for trips and a full-size pickup for pulling the boats.

I don’t see this being an only car except for rare situations. But it will be idea for us. Retired. Kids gone. We have a Lexus for road trips, a big old pickup for towing boats and currently a 2 seat Smart Fortwo which has been fun and great for around town. But it’s about 18 years old and...

Is a slow charge like plugged into a regular wall socket or plug into a 220 outlet better? Or doesn’t it matter?

Thanks! I didn’t know that! 👍⚡️

Re the battery. I only have an electric scooter (sit on type). I’ve had trouble with the batteries but have figured it out. With the Slate and it’s type of battery will it come with instructions? Eg. Should I let it run down before recharging.? Is a fast charge or slow charge better...

Never having had an electric vehicle I’m going to need lots of suggestions re charging. Only to 80%. Let it run low before charging? Leave it plugged in all the time it’s not being used? I hope Slate gives lots of good input re this.

I’m with you. I would be replacing my 18 year old Smart Fortwo. Hopeful that this Slate will come together as good as it seems to be. This would be a perfect around town and to the beach vehicle. It will join our Lexus RX350 (road-trip car) and old Dodge 1500 pickup used to pull our boats.

Thanks. I’m not sure if FPL has off peak rates. But I will check that out!

We have a 30amp outlet for when my son visits in his RV. Will I be able to plug my Slate into that just like it is? With only a plug adapter?
