    Are there arm rests without the center console option? Slate’s pictures seem to not have any.

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

    1) If this prototype has the Kenda tires, what is the specific model and size? 2) Please solve once and for all if the built in phone holder can extend far enough for a tablet! I see a separate tablet mount as an option on the configurator but I’ve also heard the built in one can accommodate...

    Net gain (or loss) per truck produced - Slate's answer

    Here’s the short version: Every automaker starts off at a loss, because they’re spending money right now on a factory, paying their employees, developing the truck, etc. The only money they make right now is from $50 reservations and their merch. Eventually they’ll start getting their money...

    How does the truck bed work?

    I’m glad this thread was more specific than the title. I was thinking “how’s the bed work? Ya put stuff in, drive it somewhere, then take it out!” Lol

    Article: Ram CEO: Slate Vehicles Won't Be So Cheap Once Buyers Get Done Optioning Them Up

    That’s not even impressive. I remember the Hyundai Santa Fe having a 10Y/100K bumper to bumper in 2003. Today, Tesla has a 150,000 mile warranty on their batteries and drive units, basically bumper to bumper except minor cosmetic things. Everyone else needs to do better. We should be making...

    Windshield wipers?

    Knowing Slate, they’re probably 2 identical blades that will be super affordable and always in stock online.

    Article: Ram CEO: Slate Vehicles Won't Be So Cheap Once Buyers Get Done Optioning Them Up

    If the RAM CEO told me I was doing something they thought was wrong, I’d take that as the highest praise. Slate should just be like “oh yeah? How’s the REV coming along?”

    Wrapping for plastic fade protection

    That’s a good point, and possible, but I would think it would take several years and be an extremely slow progression of fading if at all. Think about plastic trash cans/recycling bins being left out 24/7. They hold up just fine in general.

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

    He said they should’ve started with a gas version. He clearly missed the whole point.

    Slate slams Tesla as a “self-driving spaceship”

    Not sure how much of a “slam” that is. They’re just saying they aren’t producing some fancy, hyped-up, super-tech machine. They’re going for simple here, but not saying high tech is bad.

    Leg room?

    I’ve been wondering this too. I’m a pretty average size but a buddy of mine who has his eye on a Slate is 6’4” and I was wondering if he’d fit.
