    Deep dive article: 70+ Slate prototypes built already -- "Inside the stealth production facility"

    Seems to me that over the years, negative reporting has become more popular, maybe even the norm. If a writer can’t end on a definitive negative note, at least strongly hint. i have a friend with a Lucid, but it would never be on my radar strictly based on price.

    Deep dive article: 70+ Slate prototypes built already -- "Inside the stealth production facility"

    From the article Slate is using the location — a stone’s throw away from a massive General Motors assembly plant — to produce more than 70 vehicles for internal testing, certification and everything else a company needs to prepare to produce and sell vehicles in the United States.

    Not even 3 years yet! 70 prototypes vs 1 Telo! The naysayers can be wrong. Will be most interesting to get a six month update. i know I can hardly wait.

    PSA: Extended Range Battery can NOT be added / retrofit installed after purchase (confirmed by Slate)

    Benjamin looking forward to see your candidates for charger/inverter vs Apex 300. A bit disappointed no native DC output as I’m hoping to augment the Slates 12DC for what ever I might add and maybe get a milage benefit if that 12vdc is external and not from Slate battery.

    Slate is "confident in our plan -- [tax] incentive or not."

    And I hope it is a healthy percentage after we get ours.

    Slate is "confident in our plan -- [tax] incentive or not."

    Guessing maybe a better margin with us regular customers, so maybe slight preference.

    Another EV truck company goes down - Bollinger

    Had a 2007 GMC 3500 Double cab, 8 foot bed. Don’t remember total length, but I sure did hate going to Walmart.

    SLATE office dog approved: The goodest boy (ad commercial)

    My wife is a real softie for the Subaru ads. Not that our dogs get to ride in hers. i think they are looking forward to their Slate.

    PSA: Extended Range Battery can NOT be added / retrofit installed after purchase (confirmed by Slate)

    with roof mounted panels, I could see crafting a mount for the battery/electronics on underside of the SUV/van top. My dogs aren’t that tall.

    PSA: Extended Range Battery can NOT be added / retrofit installed after purchase (confirmed by Slate)

    True, couldn’t find a link to any. and to be honest, except for a Costco run I don’t envision use of any commercial charger. i usually have plenty ā€Freeā€ power at home, except a few days in winter.

    Just got this email from Slate: SIGNED. SEALED. DELIVERED?

    I think there may have been a problem on their end. couldn’t put my address in originally. Not surprised, it happens a lot. I mentioned to Slate and fixed. But I haven’t received that email.
