    GIGO is as old as data processing itself. Garbage In, Garbage Out There are certainly times AI results aren't trustworthy. This isn't one of them. Especially if multiple places provide the same answer. That said, always "Trust, But Verify".

    Jeff Jablansky Interview (Slate Auto's head of Public Relations and Communications)

    He explains a lot in there. Here are notes from the first few minutes: They're laser-focused on delivering a "radically affordable, radically customizable truck that can also be an SUV" Your reservation is a place in the line. Being electric might be the least interesting about it. They're...

    Which generation will be the biggest owners of Slates?

    Rich enough to deserve its own thread.

    Is Slate's absence of telemetry an important distinctive feature?

    I don't know much about vehicle telemetry other that I think it has become pervasive and it's creepy. In addition to the State Truck's unique "bring your own screen" feature, the Truck apparently doesn't Phone Home and tell the company what you've been doing with your vehicle. There's probably...

    Indeed she did. That's encouraging.

    I didn't find the ADOT info helpful, so I found easier sources. Mostly my reply to you was for helping people (in any state) find the information faster and easier than I did. Just get an AI bot (or two, or three) to tell you what your new vehicle license and registration cost will be in your...

    Double DIN radio compatible - questions

    Reference? The only reference I've see to DIN was in the recent video where she said "the design of the central storage area fits for a single DIN".

    TL;DR: Try the AI bots at DuckDuckGo and Brave Search using this query: [your state] new vehicle license and registration cost for 27500 $1087 is not correct for AZ. Arizona's formula for VLT is MSRP x 60% x .028 so 27,500 x 60% x .028 = $462 For AZ there are online calculators here and...

    Which generation will be the biggest owners of Slates?

    Full automation will, or at least should, never be allowed to happen because Americans who want to retain their personal freedom and agency will want to retain their transportation independence accordingly. Reliance on the machines is one aspect. Mandatory reliance upon the people who own and...

    Reusing and recycling accessories

    OK we just disagree about whether take-off parts that have been briefly used, removed, and shipped back to the factory are still factory-new.

    It uses the built-in screen on the dash.

    Need FM Radio

    Speakers can be "small and mighty", but it's not easy to accomplish and certainly not a given that Slate Auto will accomplish it. An innovative company called Vanatoo makes a big-sounding small set of high-fidelity speakers with sound that belies their diminutive size, including having bass...

    Tonneau Cover: Simple & Stylish

    Locked Vortex Flow! Everyone wants locked vortex flow. ;) I think a tonneau cover does improve fuel economy compared to an open bed. The net efficiency gain (or loss) is speed-dependent. For instance, one study indicated that a covered bed could improve highway fuel economy by nearly 10...

    Article: Slate grows to 250 employees with aggressive hiring. 90 more being hired.

    Design. Edit: They have a design studio in Long Beach that plays a role in the development of their vehicles.

    Which generation will be the biggest owners of Slates?

    In Chris Barman's interview with the girly-men in baseball jersies she had a useful insight. I think the theme and the thread that runs through that is like there's a feeling of independence and a feeling of freedom once you get that first vehicle and you can start to drive. And I think even...

    Pickup Bed Tie-Downs

    Nissan has a pretty good system called Utili-Track. [T]he Utili-Track system is not limited to just tie-downs; it can also accommodate other accessories like bed extenders, hold-down eyes, and even specialized cargo management systems, making it a versatile solution for various cargo securing...
