    “The Slate Truck Will Fail” - (Or will it?)

    kinda like so many click bait articles today, gets your attraction, but no meat beyond. I enjoyed this video, but doubt the title makes for long term viewers. Much prefer a positive approach. “Why it WON’T fail”

    Rising used car prices is good news for Slate!

    that could make a new wrap attractive.

    Bench seating for front

    my thinking is the full bench is a complete redo, but make a smaller convertible center seat is just another accessory that can be added anytime.

    “The Slate Truck Will Fail” - (Or will it?)

    i think Slate’s 140k unit/year possibly speaks to that.

    Place Your Bets! (actual blank Slate starting price contest)

    Would be nice to see Slate offer the extended battery version (relabeled Standard) as an attractive base model and offer the smaller, repositioned as lower cost/budget variant.

    Rising used car prices is good news for Slate!

    I’m hoping Slate will be a used market value overall, but hold its own value reflecting less depreciation.

    Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

    very very willing to volunteer as a Beta tester. tropical environment. already thinking that as I hope to be one of earliest owner on the Island I should print up some Slate Approved contact cards. For a small consideration maybe a vinyl door sticker?

    Bench seating for front

    So maybe a middle seat that is dual function? In place of the center console, in up position is like a bench seat, down is like a console. I’d find the attractive over pure bench seat.

    How much day-to-day technology is enough?

    google: No, iPads do not natively support Apple CarPlay.CarPlay is specifically designed for iPhones and is not a feature available for iPads. While you can connect an iPhone to your car's CarPlay system, you cannot use an iPad in the same way. but I intend to use my ipad for Maps etc. Likely...

    Reservation List - Delivery Order Priority?

    "Musk-ovites", never heard that one before. Toyota Tacoma most popular vehicle in Hawaii last 2 decades. Likely accounts why I see so many of the old style small pickups.Here on the Big Island many of those have racks on the back. I do hope Slate marketing is aware of this fact and a market...

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

    Not really. The price is basically unchanged, just articulated differently and now who pays for it.

    How much day-to-day technology is enough?

    I expect to add my own cellular internet and hope to connect either wifi or maybe wired as well. This would be for my own stuff and not something truck is dependent on.

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

    Willing to admit it or not, everyone on this forum benefits either directly or indirectly from fossil fuel subsidies. Of course people don’t have to be honest about it, but they should at least try to be honest with themselves. Would there be a broad based benefit to EV subsidies? Maybe, but...

    As do I 🤞but see it as hard. My 3.8kw LifePo batteries were over $3k each. But if you’r right I’ likely spring for a few more accessorie.

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

    I have really enjoyed reading much of your tech oriented posts, but geesh, this political rant is getting tiring. Please stop. It doesn’t bring out the best in us. Personally, I’d have no problem cancelling ALL subsidies, especially the people ones. Let’s all focus on the Slate, its capabilities...
