I’m wondering exactly how many beta test vehicles Scout has built so far.

There are lighter duty A/T tires on the market that I think easily outperform the KO/2 especially on wet pavement. My Falken Wildpeaks come to mind. Also, why is an A/T tire on a RWD rear motor vehicle the wrong choice? If you go anywhere near dirt, it absolutely is the right choice.

It presents IOS apps (non-video) in a way that makes them easy to use while driving…usually on a screen larger than your phone. Easily my favorite is voice enabled messaging (text to voice and vice verse) both to receive and to respond. Easy to use maps and navigation too. It’s easy to get...

I’m hopeful that GFC will make one specifically for the Slate. They currently make one for the Maverick.

Caveat emptor.

Not everyone, but a significant number of people that want a return to simpler vehicles and are tired of paying through the nose for gas. If Slate fails to execute, it will be dead on arrival. I’m confident that they haven’t over promised. It’s the perfect commuter/vehicle for my business, but...

I think V2L is great as a built in inverter. Hopefully the output is at least 2K watts. Also would like to know more about voltage step down to 12v and how that will be supplied.

Agreed. Most don’t work.

I’m pretty sure the Cargo Kit topper can stand on its own. Fastened at the front into the back of the cab and on the sides to the top of the bed rails. The relocated rear cab piece (with hinged glass and third brake light) stiffens it at the back.

It’s an image on the wall in their California design studio. I have no idea which CarPlay device they are showing. I suppose it could be a head unit…

I learned how to use my knee a long time ago.

Washington tax revenue is currently way under spending. Running this deficit, I doubt the state will extend the exemption.

There are about a hundred things that could go wrong inviting 3rd parties to customize key systems that impact driving safety. The only people happy with this type of approach are litigation attorneys.

Me too.

There is a big difference between adding a different wrap and adding autosteer and adaptive cruise control. Those commercials showing people gleefully driving with their hands off the wheel make me cringe.

Another perspective on China’s battery leadership…this one focused on CATL, supplier to Tesla, BMW, and others. Enjoy.

As soon as Slate goes public, their focus would shift from buyer-first to shareholder-first. In driving to maximize shareholder value, they would listen to all the business consultants telling them how to increase margin (not decrease cost). They would become just another car company.

To pay for that 3D printer running 24/7. ;)

Was recently in an almost new Subaru Forester rental. I found the overly-busy infotainment somewhat bewildering and could not get my phone to pair over Bluetooth. Give me simple.

Slate uses NMC, not lithium.
