    More Slate pickup white wrap photos

    Agreed…looks great in that pearl white.

    Video: Bring a bag, any bag

    Women may need that space between the seats for a purse more than guys will. That said, if the console accessory is large enough, that might be a good place to stash a bag AND keep the drink holders.

    So many posts about, will you still buy without EV credit [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I’m looking at the Civic because it’s a hybrid and my home charging option has changed. Long story. Of course, I might find a home charging solution by the time the Slate comes out. Let’s just say I’m keeping all my options open.

    I’m looking at a new Civic Sport Touring for $32K and 50 mpg. Not comparable to a Slate but it checks all my boxes for $30-35K.

    I like the R2, and the R3. I’m on the road all day for my sales gig. I don’t mind stopping to charge but I do think I’ll need the overnight charging with a Slate.

    For me, I don’t really need a pickup. I do need a fuel efficient daily/commuter. And I may not be in a situation where home charging is an option.

    At close to $35K, a lot of other vehicles start to make sense, including some pretty well-built and well-equipped hybrids.

    Rich Rebuilds video review from Slate Truck design, engineering, production labs!

    Just watched this vid. Having never seen Rich in action before I must say that I love his approach to doing these interviews. Lighthearted, yet detailed without getting lost in the weeds. He presented the core value prop for the Slate which is the ability to mod over time, but also the key...

    Rich Rebuilds video review from Slate Truck design, engineering, production labs!

    This is interesting. I think Slate will offer two different topper side panels. One that is solid (“Cool Story”) and one that has the glass panel (“Witch on Demand”). The glass panel side panel will be the one that comes standard with the SUV Kit. I’m assuming the Cargo Kit (sans roll bar and...

    There is absolutely no way Scout is delivering for less than $65K.

    If people actually learned how to drive before getting a license (to kill), maybe we would have fewer safety regulations and cars would be simpler.

    Honda Prologue EV $249/month + tax lease on a new 2025 Touring 2WD !

    Keep in mind that the Prologue is really a GM product rebadged by Honda.

    No Vehicle to Load or Outlets in Bed/Frunk

    A couple of assumptions here: 1) the 400v drive battery is DC, 2) V2L is really AC output…either for 110/120v devices or 240v for V2H (connected to the house electrical panel). Either way, V2L requires an inverter (400v DC to 120/240v AC). The cost and complexity associated with the inverter is...

    I was wondering about that as well. What do they mean by “traditional key”? I’m assuming the fob is needed if you don’t have a smartphone, but that the fob in the dash thing is just a way to keep the fob handy or if you want to show it off (maybe you have something fancy attached to it). Perhaps...

    I thought the spare tire mount also required a different bumper. Would be good if it works with the standard bumper.
