    Slate vs. Telo

    Indecision on what to make is a decision by default to make nothing.

    Autosteer and Adaptive Cruise Control

    It’s an entirely different level from bolting down seats, roll bar, and plugging in connectors for airbags to an autonomous vehicle system. Not even remotely comparable in technical expertise needed.

    Slate vs. Telo

    The Telo hitting the US market will fair just as well as it hitting a dodge Ram. DOA.

    Poll: Slate's second model - what do you think it will be?

    Other. Don’t care. šŸ˜€ Edit: not throwing hate at the question or what anyone else wants to speculate about. I think the current slate model fills an enormous gap in the market. Whatever else Slate might decide to make will be direct competitive with something else already out there. As others...

    It looks like SLATE has pathetic EV efficiency. (and a rant).

    This right here. I will not buy a skinny tired little car. The compromise toward efficiency is too far for me. I want a normal robust vehicle that happens to be an EV. Slate is the first one not junked up with extra stuff I don’t want and in a price range I am willing to pay.

    Slate pickup sighting in downtown Warsaw, IN! (w/ frunk, bed, charging port closeup)

    Could we add a i4 or a v6 later on? (I know it’s an ev now)

    ICE and EV have completely different architecture. Not going to happen from Slate.

    Performance in snow?

    The slate will have ABSand traction control. Those along with a lot more weight over the rear drive wheels than traditional ICE trucks will help tremendously in the snow. Tread depth, tread depth, tread depth on all season or snow tires is the most important thing for traction in snow. People...

    Bench seating for front

    It is wider than my 1991 Toyota pick up that had a bench seat in the front for three.

    Pre-wiring from factory?

    @Slate please don’t pre wire this thing and junk up a simple vehicle at added cost. Just give room in the panels to run wires later.

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

    What would you tow?!

    I suspect motor cooling. Tow rating applies at all speeds, grades, continues duty. A lot of cost can be trimmed by not trying to build a vehicle to stay cool and functioning with an extra 2-3.5k lbs up hill at 80 mph in 100 degrees. Think of battery, controller, wiring, and motor. Lots to...
