In 1969, a year where muscle cars and land yachts and station wagons ruled supreme and gas was cheap, the lowly beetle and it's offshoots sold over 400,000 vehicles in the U.S. The beetle alone was 370K. I think 100K slates a year is very conservative.

As much as I want to see them, I considered driving 10 hours to Nashville. But now that they won't let you sit in them I'm thinking I might as well wait till they start showing actual line produced trucks with the actual plastic panels and almost finalized design. Maybe they'll even let you...

No southern states except for North Carolina, which is BARELY southern. They need to come to Austin or Dallas

Just a little weekly post from P.R. listing any interviews done, stuff coming up, or progress on the plant. Or just shoutouts from the employees. Any info would be appreciated no matter how small. Slate is already the most transparent company out there. This would only make it more so. Old...

I give Musk full credit and admiration for developing evs that a lot of people love to own. I drive 13 miles through Frisco, McKinney and Plano Texas once a week and I play the "count the Teslas" game. I stopped playing when my count got over 30 per trip. I was dead set on buying a model 3...

I autocrossed my Solstice, (badly), for 3 years back in my 50's. Here I am in my Spaceballs helmet.

And the Ford Maverick and the Pinto had the same taillights. Don't remember which came first.

I think they look a lot like my 84 Mazda SE-5 except for the round headlights. I plan on finding white spokers if possible.

Got any stls you can share?

Maybe it's my generation, but if our first car was a passed down family four-door, it was a "drive of shame" going to school every morning. NOBODY wanted to be seen driving a four-door. At one point I got the family 67 Falcon Futura 4door with 3 on the tree. In an act of desperation, I put...

Electrolyte that stops dendrites

I'm so tired of everyone thinking that having 2 doors will kill sales. I've never been more confident that Slates will sell like cups of water in hell. Hoping for an ipo so I can buy in.

Well I just noticed on the website that they're taking a couple of weeks off to give their travel teams a rest. Well deserved. Sorry I whined.

Oh man, we almost got a glimpse of what's behind the panel just to the right of the steering wheel. I've been wondering if that's where we can mount a double din headunit.

All us people in the south would sure love to see one in person. Throw us a bone! I really feel you should have been partnering up with "Electrify Expo" events, but there's only a couple left this year. Maybe you feel you've had enough exposure at this point and need to concentrate on fitting...

Just wondering, with the motor on the rear axle, would it be a bad idea to launch something? Good chance you'd get water up to or over it.

Thanks! Now, unfortunately, I have a different question. Will the rollbar be a necessary part of the "cargo" option? It's possible that with the back of the cab being removed the rollbar is necessary for rollover rating, and I've read somewhere that parts of the suv roof and side attach to...

Does the roll bar installation eliminate the ability to haul a 4x8 sheet of plywood? Doesn't seem to be 4' clear between vertical posts.

I can confirm this. One of my favorite things about my Mav is I can eat lunch in it on a 100 degree day sitting in a parking lot and it will only run the engine for about 1 minute out of 5.

My current drive is a Maverick Hybrid. Before that I had a 17 Colorado 4 door, and before that I had a 69 C-10 longbed project truck. Guess which one fit into my garage easiest. Answer: NONE OF THEM. I don't have the exact dimensions but I swear they were all within a couple of inches of...
