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...
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.

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...
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
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...
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?
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?
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.
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...
