But that Roadster! Right around the corner!

A Slate Truck is not a Tesla Cybertruck, I know, I know, but I find this fascinating for MULTIPLE reasons: Per Google's SkyNet overlord oh-so friendly AI interface, less than 5% of CyberTurkey reservations resulted in a sale. Over a million reservations, rumored to be two million, yielded about...

Yes, I've also taken many a pause looking over various vids and pics and the process looks complicated for door removal. If they're serious about that feature, a redesign is in need, otherwise almost no one will ever do it. With what looks like a typical bolt-on design you see on almost all car...

I'll be putting my spare Slate Truck battery in my Slate Truck's bed, which has a payload of 1433lbs. Oh, and my socket set.

Perhaps this decision is not yet final because the door design is not yet final. If the door will indeed be removeable, which is very, very appealing to me, I hope it will be an easy on/off experience like with my Jeep, which has no wiring or HVAC ducting of any kind jumping the gap and it...

When the Slate was announced... I felt... I don't know... Seen. Saved. I ran toward it! Oh, I ran! If Slate turns out to be just a mirage, breaking up, disappating, an ethereal mist... I guess... I guess I shall just... Perish in the desert. Hungry. Thirsty. Alone. ... ... And then...

Crabs in a bucket. Out of control Capitalism, in this case Big Auto and Big Oil, their lobbyists and govt cronies, have trapped us all in a bucket. They are in the business selling cars to make money. Fine. Capitalism isn't bad. Ultra-greedy Capitalism is. They are only happy with HUGE PROFIT$...

Minimize or deny the obvious positive traits of the competition to make oneself seem superior. Some people can only "win" by cheating, but then it isn't really winning at all. Half the human race has a painful and humiliating lesson to learn.

I hope this is all a mistake. Is SA adding "standard" features in reaction to requests from prospective customers expressing curiosity on whether a truck a year and a half away from production will have what they want? I don't want to pay for something I'm going to replace. SA has already...

The whole video was riddled with errors and bias and insinuations and bro posturing. Suggests the Slate Truck would get poor safety ratings due to lacking other features, like more doors? Huh? Says not driving a 4 door indicates you have no friends to haul around. Oh, okay. Even suggested that a...

It was discovered some time ago when an intrepid reporter dug deep. Some of them still do that. Very very few.

You mock my pain.

Beloved? My Toyota pu was broken into more than once via the crappy little wing vent windows. NO THANKS.

Stopped working days ago

All is good. Really, I wish for Slate Auto to release more information about their product to put an end to all the confusion. People like me who like a cool truck are low-key arguing over roofs and Amazon's intentions and how many USB ports is too many. Peace!

LOL I didn't say anything about paying a subscription to DRIVE the car. I was saying that if Slate did like another commenter said about Jeep and Hyundai requiring absurd fees just to use their app, then I would reconsider doing business with Slate. Somebody please just charge ONCE for a...

I share the concerns. I want an affordable, efficient, clean truck devoid of excess features I'll never use. I'm obsessed with the Slate because it is the opposite of modern cars and Big Auto in general. but if it turns out that Slate would be tracking and extorting me via subscription fees to...

I merely pointed out that it's funny to install a sunroof on a sunroof. Pffft! Meanwhile, you seem to be arguing about the perceived inconveniences involved with removing parts off a vehicle. I drive a Jeep, like millions of other people. We remove tops, windows, doors all the time in clear...

If I pay for the automobile and I own the automobile and I possess the title and the keys to the automobile I shouldn't have to pay a subscription fee to the maker of the automobile to get PERMISSION to use MY automobile. That's EXTORTION. That's like if a mobster collects a fee from you for...

I respectfully disagree. In both videos, they clearly say the ROOF easily pops out, not the shell. The shell walls (the side walls with the windows) are BOLTED ONTO THE ROLL BAR, WHICH IS BOLTED TO THE BED FRAME. The roof panel, which is what I'm talking about, has 4 large L-shaped latches, one...
