I disagree. All the big carmakers make huge profits selling cars loaded with feature packages. Customer has little choice. I LOVE adding and modding and personalizing and constantly refreshing my ride. That's a big part of why I love this Slate concept. Virtually no features whatsoever for me to...

dash is designed to accept double din and head unit prewiring confirmed

I'm from Las Vegas originally, where it can get up to 130F in some spots. Moved to San Diego 22 yrs ago and I can't believe how people don't know what they have. Most of the year, it's great weather and almost everyone's got their windows up and AC cranked when it's 72. Me, I'm running around in...

I believe tonneau cover is confirmed

Auto high beams is listed as one of the safety features: https://www.slate.auto/en/faq

But it already is, If I'm understanding what you're saying/asking. The huge, main high-voltage battery pack that powers the vehicle's drivetrain also recharges the 12V aux battery, which is essentially a common car battery that powers lights, stereo, accessories, same as an ICE vehicle. SA has...

I couldn't have asked for a better reply, Metro. Fantastic post. Thanks for sharing your experience. And I do love my BFG KO2s!

The Slate is all EV, so incredibly easy maintenance and NO TECH beyond the EV powertrain and standard safety features like radar, etc. The Ford Maverick is ICE or Hybrid only, no all EV option, and is packed with features like screens and lots of tech that has proven unreliable and very high...

This thread is stuffed with assumptions that the aux switch bank that SA is offering is wireless like what Tesla has done. Nor has anyone on this thread state that SA has confirmed they are wireless. SA's website just says they're for controlling exterior accessories like lighting. The round...

It was a Ford Pinto. Red. Leaked steering fluid, but otherwise good for a cheap starter car.

He's assuming everybody wants a truck that does everything and that you'll buy all the upgrades on day one.

Huh? Wireless? I didn't know the aux switch bank was wireless. Huh? I don't believe that it is. Where are you getting this from? ... I just checked SA's website and their meager details on the aux switch bank mention nothing about them being wireless.

If your car door is firmly closed and locked, then the exposed hinge doesn't compromise anything. Nobody would be able to easily steal ur doors. The perimeter of the door, pressed firmly into the door jamb and locked, couldn't be pulled off just by toying with the exposed hinge. Because the door...

Auxiliary switches are for those who add lots of aftermarket electrical stuff, usually on the exterior of the vehicle, like fog lights (me), light bars, RGB accent lighting, 550 decibal train horn (which I'm seriously considering), winch, etc. Mostly lighting. Adding all those aftermarket...

Question(s) for those with experience w/ EVs: how much does wheel weight/size really affect range or general performance? Does the EV vs ICE difference really matter in this area at all? Am I overthinking this? For those who are not informed: Steel: much heavier, can be nearly double the weight...

3D working again, kind of. There's no button to select. It just activates itself on it's own? I was tweaking again in the configurator just now (Sunday 24 May) and an orange mssg appears saying 3D is on and you can drag the mouse around to control the perspective. Sometimes. I wonder if it's...

Unfortunately, I've heard that the administration is committed to announcing the EV incentive's end this summer. Rumors. Whatever. If the EV incentive goes away, I would anticipate a meager price drop on the truck to remain competetive. If SA's pricing tactic hinged on the rebate putting their...

I look forward to the price reveal. I doubt it's cheap, but you never know. I don't need them. I'm used to cranks. Out of several owned vehicles, all but one had crank windows. No big deal. But I don't have AC and flying down the highway and leaning over to crank the passenger window is not the...
