Slate is creating an ingenious way of tapping into some deep American cultural programming while fulfilling the goal of affordable transportation. The car=identity has somewhat faded but is still there and ready to roar back with DIY customization. Rumor has it traffic on the Slate Maker is...

Slate. They are promising diy and repair ability.

I won’t buy a maverick no matter what.

I could see slate lobbying for an exemption in Indiana law for an Indiana based manufacturer to be able to direct sell in Indiana. I would just take my 8.1L gas powered 2500HD GMC and a trailer. 8 miles to the gallon to pick up my EV. 🤘🛻

I’ve been sitting out the new car market for a long time now because of all the overpriced unreliable vehicles the legacy makers are putting out. Have not been able to get into an EV due to them being luxury vehicles and still too much tech. Basically “what she said” to Chris’s speech at the...

Amen friend! Preaching to the choir. Wishing Slate and you the best in getting one made and to Oahu. @Slate this person needs a bump in line. Needs it more than I do. “Just buy a maverick”. &$€£ that.

The interview I saw, she seemed the exact opposite of a tech bro. Cautiously optimistic.

Please, Slate, don’t add a GPS to the vehicle. I would like mine as simple as I can get and especially without built-in radio, communication communications devices that are required for operation.

Channels and pathways for accessory wire routing throughout the vehicle will help greatly for customization and keeping the cost of adding the accessories people want down. This would cost some engineering time upfront, but shouldn’t really add to manufacturing cost down the road if it’s...

Funkbarrier. At least when I forget to bring in the groceries and it is 100 degrees outside.

The app administrator opened up file sharing to STL files. Attach them when you’re done designing!

I figure by the time this battery wears out there will be a new battery technology that will drop right in to replace it. I’m looking at this being the last truck I ever buy. And I’m in my 40s.

Doug can eat 100,000 eggs as of yesterday. There is a market.

I have seen quite a few posts on social media with people talking about the older vehicles, they’re continuing to use, but sitting out the new car market for all the reasons that Chris listed in her launch speech. This vehicle is bringing a lot of people off of the sidelines and ready to buy...

Tropo Roof mod it is. Get the roof rack, a sheet of white FRP from the home box store, and a box of screws. And the bed is big enough to bring the 4 x 8 sheet of FRP home in.

Composite body panels will allow an antenna to be installed underneath the panels. No need for holes and external mounting. This thing is going to be awesome!

The money in my hand did not fill the hole in my soul when I sold my 91 Toyota pick up or 92 Cherokee. Looking forward to this one.

For those who want just a SUV topper, would you leave the back of the pick up cab in place and only relocate the window to the back of the SUV topper? I could see having a mini cargo van like vehicle with the bed box fully intact as being highly useful.

One of the interviews I saw at the launch stated slate university support for anything other than high voltage work. I am hopeful but waiting for the fine print. Restricted repair rights or difficulty of repair has kept me out of the new car market for a long time now. Both my vehicles are...

No issue. 6 inches of height difference between me and the other driver that share a car. We found a happy spot for the mirrors and haven’t used the electric. Adjust function for many years.
