    Open Air Kit Body Style question - how do you keep your truck from getting rained in?

    I plan to open air mine and do vinyl seat covers and figure out a vinyl floor solution. Also curious if there are any drain plugs. Adding this to my list of questions.

    Your Photo / Question Requests? -- Seeing Slate Truck In Warsaw This Weekend

    Slate will have a truck in Warsaw (where the truck will be manufactured) this weekend, which gives me a chance to get more / more detailed photos than I did last time! Soooo... Instead of searching every thread for "I wish there was a photo of X" or "I wonder if it can do X", please post here...

    Slate will manufacture its seats in house at Warsaw factory

    It would be AMAZING if Slate made these V2X (more specifically V2H / V2L) capable for something like Tesla's PowerShare or GM's PowerShift to be able to use the Slate Truck as a home backup battery or for camping, etc. Even if they just allowed it with an adapter that had a couple 20A/110V...

    Slate will manufacture its seats in house at Warsaw factory

    I'm saying I've never seen anything about CT specifically. I also follow the industry very closely, I'm aware of how Tesla operates. I used to be a HUGE fanboy, now I'm a mid-range fanboy, lol. Still love my Model Y more than my Silverado EV though.

    How is being grid-tied solar "make believe"? If you're off grid solar you're just using what you need and wasting the rest, unless you have a MASSIVE battery bank. If you're grid-tied solar you're selling back which means your extra energy generated is being used by others before energy...

    Slate will manufacture its seats in house at Warsaw factory

    I'm middle of the road, just speaking from experience living here in Warsaw, lol. I have family members that are pretty hardcore red who used to make fun of me for it, lol. After a ride in mine they now own a Tesla. 😂Once people actually experience an EV their tune changes - but only after they...

    Slate will manufacture its seats in house at Warsaw factory

    Where did you get this information? Curious why Tesla wouldn't be touting it as the most American-made truck is this is true.

    Slate truck size shown parked inside garage first look video (in pickup and SUV form)

    Sorry if this is a buzz kill post, but I just HAD to do the math. 😛 A Smart ForTwo is 106" long and 65" wide for a total of 47.85 SF. Two of them would take up 95.7 SF. A Slate Truck is 174.6" long and 70.6" wide for a total of 85.6 SF. If you were to hang the Slate truck topper from your...

    Not surprising. When I talked to the guy here in Warsaw he said the Slate will be 90%+ American parts content. That will beat out the new Tesla Model 3 Performance (87.5%) and Tesla Model Y (85%) for the most American-made vehicle you can buy.

    He's a nice guy, but he's hardcore red and red has become pretty anti-EV for the most part. Part of being anti-EV is also being misinformed, lol.

    Drive Unit / Motor supplier appears as Cascadia Motion (BorgWarner) in Slate prototype video

    Water cooled is good, historically air cooled batteries tend to not perform well.

    Suspension Poll: Lifted, Lowered, or Standard Height?

    It's tall enough it shouldn't hit a standard height curb based on what I saw in Warsaw.

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

    At this point it seems you're just here to argue, make yourself feel smarter, and be "right." You've earned your place on my ignore list. Have a good day.
