Just musing here, but what if… What if the EV credit goes away, but even if it doesn’t, Slate has the investors that support dropping the price significantly on Blank Slate for 1st yr production? They absorb some loss (tax benefit?) the 1st year to get a very visible base of supporters. They...

A possible difference. You got your CRV options together, installed as a package whereas the Slate has the flexibility to add after the initial purchase, hopefully as funds and desire changes. I’d suspect that even if you could get a bare bones CRV and then add those amenities after the fact the...

Any chance you emailed Slate your suggestion?

One of the most important things I learned about driving in snow (Maine) is knowing when NOT to drive.

Me also Does Chevy Spark still do crank?

I asked. It will be. Hi David, Thank you for your message and congratulations on reserving your Slate! Yes, the Slate Maker is undergoing updates at the moment and will continue to be updated as we get closer to production and delivery of vehicles starting in late...

Why is that so hard for people to understand? Not like swapping out for different wheels.

I believe a good number of EV vehicles are RWD unless AWD, weight tends toward rear

Having grown up in Maine and driving before FWD, AWD, or 4WD was common, you might have to relearn how to drive.

Let’s hope they don’t divert their resources.

As I understand it, the reservation is just for a blank Slate, no accessories etc. once that reservation is ready to convert to a purchase then you can tailor to your wants.

I asked, got following response Hi David, Aloha and thank you so much for the thoughtful message, we absolutely love hearing from folks who are as excited about Slate as we are! We totally get the anticipation, and yes, we do plan to keep the momentum going with...

Have only owned 2 Fords in my life - enough. Yup, both had electrical issues. Both got me stranded And had to get roadside assistance.

Visible progress 🤙🤙🤙

I keep thinking at some point, I’ll get a wrap that closely matches the blue of wife’s ’76 toyota pu. first choice might be Slate but honestly don’t know.

Connectivity Many of our accessories will involve connectivity Power - 12 vdc switched and non switched. Wireless - Wifi or Bluetooth Internet - Intermittent or always connected. Slate has hinted at some basics, but not in enough detail yet. Power - what and maybe more importantly where. Will...

Another DYI, I’ll label as Security cameras for lack of better title. My home security consists of Eufy cameras, solar/battery operated. While I don’t expect to be harassed by the current anti Tesla morons, ability to monitor parking lot may be of value. What is more important would be a camera...

One of my earlier DYI accessories will be parking sensors https://www.amazon.com/s?k=parking+sensor+kit&crid=1QCVCUZGBWEK1&sprefix=Parking+sensor%2Caps%2C287&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_14 pretty low cost, expect easy to do. Never experience until my 2019 Ridgeline, didn’t have on wife’s 2016...

Don’t think I’ll refer to mine mine as a toy truck, but just might. Many of us refer to our tractors and other tools as toys. 😁 DYI modding this thing I expect to be a great joy, no guilt.

I suspect those reviewers don’t have a clue as to the draw of the Slate. sure, the EV vs ICE for some (many) the blank Slate philosophy - relief from the forced “features” we don’t want the DYI - i would never consider bringing a new/almost new vehicle in my garage and purposely do something...
