    Adding a screen for AA/Carplay is WAY cheaper than I thought it would be

    I didn't even know these exist. The quality probably isn't great, but could be a cheap solution to hold you over till you can afford a double din headunit. Any where from 45 dollars to a couple of hundred. Amazon link youtube reviews

    July 5th Detroit Event Photos of factory gray Slate pickup

    Just watched again and noticed there is no drivers side mirror. I would have loved to see the attachment.

    How does the Slate turn on?

    There are physical keyholes in the doors and the tailgate so there will be a physical key supplied for those, but whether it's in the fob like Hyundai/Kia or something else is yet to be determined.

    Expected price now "Mid-Twenties" for Slate truck

    I'm repeating myself here. Sorry. But even if it costs more than a loaded Maverick, I'll still buy it because having a drivetrain with 20-30 moving parts in lieu of 2000 is worth more to me than a competitive price.

    Place Your Bets! (actual blank Slate starting price contest)

    Post your best guess for the base price, before delivery charge, down to the penny if you want, and I'll buy a slate hat for the closest to the actual price. If several people get it right, I'll draw one of their names out of a hat. My guess, $ 24,999.00 Winner will get hat once slate opens...

    Dark Blue Wrapped Slate Pickup w/ 20" Wheels, All-Terrain Tires, Roof Rack, Bed Rack, Running Boards @ Moto Social Club in Ferndale (Detroit, MI)

    How close is the color match for the magma colored front vent accessory, and the side stripe in person? In some photos they don't match, and in some they do. As you can see from my avatar I plan on getting both of those options. Thanks for the pics!!

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

    Does the back glass hinge upwards to open even when it's on the cab instead of on the back of the suv kit?

    Event Tour Locations & Dates are back up! Multiple dates for Detroit, 2 days for Warsaw and 4 dates for Cleveland, OH

    I bought my first starter house in Frisco in 1992 because it was out in the boonies and the cheapest town to buy one. Only 14K people, one main road, one high school, middle school and elementary. There are so many high schools today that they have their own division. And now I've got a...

    Windshield wipers?

    If we're going full retro, give me a fender/kick panel vent like 60's pickups. Loved those things.

    Will there be an OBD port? What do other EV's have?

    Way back I used to use an old 7" android tablet, a bluetooth obd adapter and an app called Torque to show all vital gauges and other info like mileage. Used it on a trip or two in the wife's car. Do other EV's have obd ports and if so, what info do they report? Engine RPM and temp maybe?
