That would be cool but I would prefer an M134 Minigun used by the United States Secret Service.

Subaru is well known for their commercials with dog anthropomorphism. They act like humans. Land Rover has a couple of commercials with dogs that act like dogs. One where a young couple picks up a stray dog on a rainy night. Another I really like where a hound dog tracks down a lady who lost...

When I was younger I would ride my 600 pound Yamaha V-Max into and out of the bed of my Nissan Hardbody. https://best-motorcycle.com/ramps/index.shtm

The VW Farfegnugen campaign was probably written by Madison Avenue. You can never have too many dogs in trucks.

1986 to 1997, the Nissan D21 truck was nicknamed The Hardbody. Nissan began using it in their marketing. Then named the new model the Frontier.

I loved my 1995 Nissan Hardbody. Put 120,000 carefree miles on it in 14 years. Only reason I sold it was to take advantage of Obama's Cash for Clunkers. Got $3,500 on a trade in for the Nissan that would otherwise have only sold for $1,500. People wanting to buy it would leave notes under the...

One feature the Slate has is that many states allow electric vehicles (EVs) to use HOV lanes regardless of the number of occupants. Sadly it expires September 31 in Houston. When I commuted on my motorcycle which was almost every day for six years the Katy Freeway HOV lane was great.

Being slightly elevated will definitely improve your visibility of others. A high vantage point is one of the main appeals of SUVs and pickups in my... view. As far as Slate conspicuity, it might help a little but my main fear is the stealthy "shark skin" finish amounts to urban camouflage...

Or if the motorhome has a generator use it to charge the Slate in a pinch.

I could be wrong. I often am. But maybe we are looking at this backwards. What if we tow a Slate behind a motorhome. If need be with a remote switch turn on the regen to charge the Slate while towing down long mountain downhills. Then run the motorhome electricals off the Slate while camping...

After a power outage at my home during an ice storm, V2L was the main reason I made a deposit on a Ford Lightning pickup, which I subsequently canceled and bought a Jeep Gladiator pickup instead. V2L for the Slate is great news.

My garbage can with my Garbage Commander

Whenever I bought a new car, I was usually already highly motivated and felt little need for a test drive. This was confirmed when I made the mistake of allowing my bride to accompany me on a test drive in a 1970 BMW 2002 that I coveted. She did not like it. I have regretted not purchasing...

I thought the forum belonged to Slate but at the bottom of this page it says that: "Slateforums.com is independently operated and has no official affiliation with Slate Auto". But that certainly would not prevent them from monitoring or participating. In fact it would be very wise for any...

Outstanding!

Air conditioning, cruise control, power door locks and a shiftless transmission are standard equipment. What else could anyone possibly desire.

I'm in. Good luck, Slate.

It seems to me that Slate will use independent car transporters. Give the customer the option of door-to-door (more expensive) or to a terminal. But that brings up the question of service and repairs. Will there be a network of providers?

I was thinking maybe a solar panel and kill two birds with one... solar panel. Run the Slate battery cooling system in the hot Houston sun when parked at work for a chill ride home.

Land Rover Defender and Series once had an optional second roof panel on top with an airspace of an inch or so under it. Known as "The Tropical Roof" it was also called the Safari Roof or Safari Top. Land Rover Chawton White paint (LRC603) was used for the roof.
