    Dashboard Speakers DO NOT come standard, and more audio options in the works [confirmed]

    SUV or pickup, speakers are standard in the dash. If you add the suv kit, they have “expansion speakers” to add for the back seats.

    Dashboard Speakers DO NOT come standard, and more audio options in the works [confirmed]

    I basically asked Slate if add-on speakers are as far as they’re going with audio upgrades. “You’re right that the base configuration includes dashboard-mounted speakers, and currently that’s the standard option in the single cab build. We designed Slate to keep things simple and flexible, and...

    CarPlay (Explain it like I am five)

    The maker site does show rear side speakers if you add an suv kit. If it stays as a single cab, are door speakers still necessary? I think I’m about to send Slate another email lol

    CarPlay (Explain it like I am five)

    That’s one thing I need to see/hear for myself. The Slate speakers. They’re only in the dash and not the doors too, right? I’ve only heard one journalist say they’re “not bad”, but that’s all subjective.

    Confirmed: keyless entry, push-to-start, remote climate control & lock/unlock via app

    I only asked if there would be an app and, if so, would there be a subscription fee. She said yes there would be an app but no confirmation on a fee. So yes there could be overreactions over nothing.

    Double Din Car Stereo Aftermarket Head Unit / Radio Capable (confirmed by Slate CEO)

    I understand your point, but it’s definitely something I’d like, especially wireless. I understand I can get all audio through regular Bluetooth, but even having to take out my phone to deal with the on-screen controls is inconvenient and harder to see. I don’t have an iPhone Max model. Not...

    I’m assuming they mean this?

    NFC Phone As A Key

    I started a thread about that. No info yet on those phone features or whether or not there will be a subscription for them. Also I have that NFC feature now. Helpful if I run out to the car for something and forgot my key but have my phone. Annoying if you don’t want to carry the key at all. I...

    Flat Tow support for Slate truck in the works [confirmed]

    I checked lol. “Currently, no mass-market electric vehicles (EVs) are officially approved by manufacturers for flat towing (all four wheels on the ground) behind an RV. The main reason is that most EVs have their electric motors directly connected to the wheels, and spinning the wheels while...

    Playing devil's advocate here, comparing Slate Truck vs. Ford Maverick

    I understand. I just have zero interest in a maverick. Now that I think about it, I have zero interest in any other pickup lol. I guess if someone is looking for a pickup to get rugged with and actually take off-road and what not, I feel like they wouldn’t or at least shouldn’t be looking at a...

    Update the Slate with halo lights and lightbar

    More interesting DRL’s would be nice. Im no longer a fan of halos and RGB lighting effects on vehicles though. I am interested in the front light and tail light upgrades though. I’m curious to see what the tail light animations actually are. Also what is customizable about the front lights? I’m...

    Flat Tow support for Slate truck in the works [confirmed]

    Excuse my ignorance, I’m unfamiliar with this. What does it mean for a vehicle to have flat towing support? I thought you could do this with any vehicle.

    Playing devil's advocate here, comparing Slate Truck vs. Ford Maverick

    I’ve mentioned this in other threads, so I’m sorry if members are getting sick of me saying/showing it, but I miss my old S10. It was a two seater and I loved it. The difference in load and towing capacities between the Slate and the S10 are negligible. I’m not hauling boats and trailers...

    Jeff Bezos and Slate

    That bothered me as well. The media is giving him ownership of the company.
