The content is going to be slow to trickle out, still quite a while left to launch. Early next year it will probably be ramping up, since they are supposed to have things like accessory prices then.

I want to see it in person before getting running boards. It may just be low enough stock that getting into it is no problem, even for elderly relatives.

Those teams don't necessarily have much inside info. If the CEO or someone else ranking in the company said that, or someone in a position to give an official interview, sure.

Aside from higher profits on bigger vehicles, there is a kind of a loophole in emissions laws that helped drive manufacturers away from small trucks. Below a certain weight, the trucks had to meet a tighter emissions standard, and larger vehicle could pollute more. So trucks and SUVs and...

Not sure what you are trying to say here. You make lots of weekend road trips that are a lot longer than your commute? The average is something under 14,000 miles per year. That works out to about 54 miles per day assuming it's all done in 5 days a week. Well within the Slate range, and nearly...

That's what I was thinking, more like the toolboxes you see mounted in truck beds, but shorter. Maybe not bed height, wheel well height would preserve the length for that 4x8 sheet fitting. But bed height would be another option.

Late 2026 doesn't mean December 31 or something. With the simplified build, and not really making anything new and advanced, it seems it's less likely to be delayed than others, and to me "late 2026" could be anywhere from July-December. It's entirely possible they were conservative in that time...

LFP keeps coming up, but there are tradeoffs. LFP have lower energy density, so it's more battery weight to get the same capacity, and LFP have worse cold performance. The cold performance can be mitigated by heating the pack, but that's going to cut range. Yes LFP has benefits, but it's not a...

One possibility would just be to make it rectangular, at that tire covering height, going all the way across. Then you'd have the spare plus more enclosed locked storage space. One thing I haven't seen is what that footwell space actually looks like. Combining the "turn that dead space to...

Videos like this, probably could each use their own thread. Maybe there should be a videos section, but people aren't going to be finding them as replies in a thread.

With the non metal panels, it may be possible to get a glass mount antenna, and mount it on the panels instead, without drilling holes.

From what I had read early on, it seemed like accessory installs would be done at the same contracted service centers slate will be sending us to for repairs and after purchase accessory installations.

Most likely you can't get the rebate then. Check the state site for the fine print, it probably specifies that it has to be bought from a dealer within the state. There is a smaller local rebate in my area that requires a purchase from a local dealer.

Here is a video on charging circuit sizing

I was more looking at the prototypes that are being shown and tested now may not have the built in sound absorbing materials to block road noise that the finished truck will have.

It looks like there are a variety of different types of sensors used, I'm sure there is a setup to work with child carseats properly. Enabling the end user to easily manually turn off the airbags means they can forget to turn them back on, or just turn them off because they don't believe in...

I don't know, it seems like there is a vocal group here who think most people need AWD

Yes. What vehicles fit 3 full sized adults in the back seat comfortably? Only some LARGER vehicles do that.

Missoula I can understand, because a major part of the year they may have snow/ice on the roads, but for rain... who needs AWD?

I'm sure when the time comes to convert your reservation to an order, you will be able to request delivery in the area you will be in. The paperwork might be a little more complicated, because you will still need to register for your home state.
