Rivian loses money on every R1T and R1S they sell (which is crazy and I’m glad Slate isn’t following that strategy). So they are hedging their bets on R2 and R3 for profitability. The main reason they did this deal is that Rivian needed a lot capital to get their Georgia Plant Built for the...

Well Slate has the advantage that each Slate Truck comes off the line the exact same way with the only difference being the long range and short range batteries. It’s also a very simple design with very few parts. So I think the factory will be able to pump out that many trucks in its first year...

Even if they only sell half that targeted number in their first year they will still likely make the Top 5 (possibly Top 3) best selling EV Models list in the US. Which will be great press.

I feel like the author heard the comments from local gop members and that just stuck in his head for comparison. The author has tested Chinese EV’s extensively in China but has never lived with them so he has a good understanding of them but not the realities of them. From my understanding from...

For the second part I understand that he brought up that point because local GOP Politicians were saying this was the answer to affordable Chinese EV’s. The premise of that statement I don’t agree with because both type of vehicles are designed with a different design philosophy in mind. But the...

https://insideevs.com/news/773876/slate-truck-live-impressions-china/ The article really focused on if this is truck that Americans will actually want and if it’s the type of vehicle that can compete against Chinese EVs.

I agree it would most likely built on the Model Y Platform. But there are more differences than that. Tesla’s whole brand is built around tech innovation and now is having a high priority on Robotaxis. If it doesn’t have a use with AI it doesn’t have a use with Tesla. So removal of the front...

Just go to Edmunds.com and search for any they have on the site. When you have selected a vehicle you scroll down and their will be a map for the range of that vehicle

yeah I’m curious how inter app operability will be with the Slate App

This is amazing and I hope the Slate app has a function like this. But what I'm suggesting is a bit different this is a specific location and how to get there. Which is great but showing the range of how far you can get anywhere from the center of your zip code as a round trip or one way really...

Tim Kuniskis is the CEO of Ram and has been put in charge of Stellantis North America Brands by Stellantis new CEO. He’s talked very openly about how EV’s will surpass ICE one day and the need for continued development. Dodge and Ram are going to need softer launches into EV’s. I think Ram’s...

I was checking out Edmunds and I saw that they had this very helpful map that shows on a map how far from the center of your zip code the range of your vehicle will take you on a one way and round trip. I think having this functionality for Slates two options will be beneficial for people...

In this video I posted on here Slate estimates it will probably be $200-300 at their service centers to wrap the vehicle. https://www.slateforums.com/forum/threads/slate-auto-wrap-kit-price-wrapping-service-fee-estimate.13488/

The Ramcharger is being rebranded as the new REV now.

Only if Slate survives since if the strategy is penetrative pricing to make Slate look like a worst value while eating market share works they can easily raise their prices later one. It definitely seems like it’s Nissan’s strategy since I don’t know why else they would be just eating a 15%...

NACS is only for fast charging though. 1772 port is used for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging only. Which is probably going to confuse some people at first if the dealership doesn’t clearly explain that to them.

Last I heard they were planning on doing a Slate to State tour next year where you will be able to drive one before you buy. Hopefully they come to Connecticut eventually. They went To every state around us but haven’t visited us yet lol.

https://fortune.com/2025/09/09/the-ceo-of-u-s-made-electric-truck-company-slate-says-removal-of-ev-tax-credit-is-opening-up-capacity-from-battery-suppliers/ In this article it says Slate was initially very focused on ensuring it could offer a rebate from the federal tax credit. But with the Tax...

The rear seats look like they could potentially be pull down, giving you more cargo space capabilities even in the SUV Kit configuration.

Oh I think so too bud I don’t really consider an AWD Slate to be a 2nd Model. I originally thought they would do a 4 Door Slate XL next but then I started thinking that a Slate Coupe might be cheaper to make if they can reuse a lot of parts.
