    What Would You Do if The Slate Truck Does Not Manifest?

    Not weird at all, serious Slate folks don’t have Maverick on their radar.

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

    Potential double whammy for me as I probably have to factor in delivery costs. So I have done a spreadsheet of my best guesses. Without the incentive I’m about 90% sure to get the blank Slate and be flexible on DYI. With the incentive I’m 100% but will use at least some of that $$ for an upgrade...

    NON SLATE (NON-OEM) ACCESSORIES AND MODS

    I like to make a proposal. A centralized thread/sub forum for discussion of non Slate accessories and mods. So far this forum has numerous posts scattered about discussing these things. Too often in an unrelated item. Do believe I’m guilt of that. Not a place to discuss what are clearly Slate...

    What Would You Do if The Slate Truck Does Not Manifest?

    I don’t see anything else out there as exciting, so likely just be content with my current vehicles. No point spending the money on something not exciting.

    Slate Truck (Pickup / SUV) Pricing, Specs, Range, Dimensions, Safety

    For me accessory pricing will be as important as the base price so has to be same time frame. Will I still get the bare bones blank Slate? Yes if price if right and I feel there is hope for the non seat SUV. Given the tax credit unknowns I’m hopeful that if there is at least some credit I will...

    Aptera-style solar panels in SUV option.

    Currently have 64 PV, 18.4kw so likely enough for home charging. I do hope that over the next year or so a cost effect DC to DC method becomes available so I can bypass my LiFePo batteries (57 kwh). Living totally off grid, the charging thing has been my greatest concern re EV. While the...

    Aftermarket sunroof - Suitable for Slate

    Absolutely, can’t see how you could do the seat without removing. My thinking has to do with no seat and hopefully no rollbar. guessing my dogs would prefer it having to be removed, but then the 3 boxers would be competing with wife for the passenger seat.

    Aftermarket sunroof - Suitable for Slate

    Hopeful, but cautious. Got burned by the Aquion saltwater battery back in Obama times. Company went bankrupt a month after I installed 18 of them. They lasted about 2 years. My LiFePos are 5 1/2 yo and going strong.

    Aftermarket sunroof - Suitable for Slate

    I’m also thinking the cabin rear panel, mid-gate or whatever is proper name stays in place in the non passenger model for increased strength. Some may remove after the fact, but my dogs are used to that separation, relocating the window portion is fine.

    Aftermarket sunroof - Suitable for Slate

    I agree. If the non seated top requires interior support I hope it is more in line with the Tower rack.

    We very rarely use our AC, but sunroof most always open.

    Cargo Kit

    My dogs prefer the windows. I believe the SUV rear window is the cab window relocated.

    Sadly the dream has already died for me

    TPMS. Not an option I would pay extra for.
