    An Original 2 Seater Pickup in Denton Texas!

    Ohhhhhhhh! I wonder if I can get those wheels in 17".

    Another cynical YouTube video dooming the Slate to failure. Worth a laugh.

    I can't wait till the slate takes off and they have to expand the plant. The Volkswagen beetle was selling 400,000 units in the US alone by the end of the 60's. I think the slate is gonna be the second coming of "the people's car". When it happens, I'm gonna look up all these guys and give em...

    Reservation List - Delivery Order Priority?

    I was so excited about the model 2 rumors, then so disappointed. Slate has my heart now.

    What was your first vehicle?

    I owned this exact truck also. Wasn't my first but was much beloved. Thinking of going with 17" white spoked wheels and raised white letter tires on my slate.

    Slate going public? IPO?

    If they do an ipo AFTER selling, preferably at least 6 months, I'll be in. I've done well on Tesla over the years.

    Is 3D "spin" still working in Slate Maker for you guys?

    I hope so. Makes it hard to see some of the interior options.

    Is 3D "spin" still working in Slate Maker for you guys?

    Mine has stopped. When I click, hold and move the mouse, all I get anymore is switching to a new pic. I've tried different browsers and they're all the same.

    Not that stripped compared to my 80s Toyota mini truck

    I loved my 84 mazda SE-5, (sakes alive!). Traded it in on this new thing called a "minivan", in brown of course, when my wife gave birth to our first child. Miss the mazda. Never missed the Dodge Caravan.

    Playing devil's advocate here, comparing Slate Truck vs. Ford Maverick

    Small trucks in the 80's had two main buyers. Young people, me, just starting out wanting something cheap and customizable, and older adults, also me, looking for something to run to Home Depot with and haul some mulch or plywood. I have a Maverick Hybrid and it's awesome, but I've always...

    Slate website update

    Can everyone else still spin your build in 3d in the builder? Mine has stopped and instead just switches between different views. Stopped in Chrome and Edge.

    Upgradable battery management and battery chemistry options (future-proof)

    article on battery that will be in Slate https://batteriesnews.com/sk-on-seals-28-bn-battery-deal-with-bezos-backed-us-ev-start-up-slate/ The one fear I have about Slate's future is if after the first 10000 are on the street suddenly there are 4 or 5 that catch on fire. It will get overblown...

    Are you actually going to BUY the Slate Truck without a Test Drive?

    Hoping in July there will be one of these events closer than 1000 miles from me. I'm retired so I'll just hop in my hybrid maverick and ROAAAAADTRIP. And yeah, I'm all in even it it goes to 30K starting price. It's exactly what I've been telling everyone I want for 10 years. June Events

    Slate commercial - Earth to Aliens: It's a truck AND a SUV.

    Makes me want to make one like that and put "Strange Rover" badges on it. lol.

    Delivery to your home no matter where you live (confirms Slate Auto)

    What I think I heard in the reveal is there will be a service agreement between Slate and a national chain like Firestone or Christian Brothers that will handle warranty issues, accessory installation, and wrapping. There may be showrooms like Tesla has in Texas, but I doubt there will be...

    Has anyone deciphered reservation numbers yet?

    Just was looking at slate website and saw my reservation date is 4/25. Then noticed the third set of numbers on my reservation number is 4250. Anyone else get a match like this?

    Share your Slate build configuration images!

    Went with this color to match the side stripe, which I hope will be available in other colors, but this orange is growing on me. What would you call this color, Papaya?

    Got any photochopperz in here with mad skillz?

    Thanks dude! Yes, that's the general idea. I'll have to see if it grows on me. Not sure that the stock front might be better with the gray contrast than an overall white, but at least now I can imagine it.. DM me and I'll send you money for some lunch.

    Clear side marker lenses.

    Popular mod for the street custom crowd, using a clear or white frosted lens and a led bulb that is orange or red so during the day you don't have side markers that clash with your color scheme and yet they still are legal when glowing at night. Not a big deal but a nice little upgrade for...
