This is not an official reservation list. It's crowdsourced from forum members who voluntarily input their reservation info. At just $50 per reservation, Slate is guaranteed to have many times the reservations shown here. I agree with @JeffVA that the real number is easily 2 or 3 digits more...

I see the open frunk button, but which is the remote start -- the "2x" button?

Sounds like there's in-depth (hopefully hands-on) videos coming from Sandy Munro, but here's his first reactions, which sound very positive. Interesting tidbit - he says Slate's head of engineering Eric Keipper implemented many of Munro's company's suggestions, so we know that Slate Auto...

Yep, there's a wired phone charger built into the factory phone / tablet holder: And a wire leads from it to a power plug behind the dash panels (seen here).

I think the incredible # of pickup trucks sold annually (full-size, mid-size, and compact) tells us how useful the average vehicle owner thinks a pickup bed is. Not just useful for carpenters and contractors, but for every day Joe and Jane.

Slate Auto decided against using LFP batteries because they wanted to make sure the truck qualified for the $7,500 federal EV rebate. Here's an article on it: Why The Slate Truck Doesn’t Use LFP Batteries It's all about making the truck qualify for the $7,500 federal EV rebate, Slate's CEO...

Will you be using a phone or tablet as your interface device? Or switching between them? I think the BYOD bring-your-own-device approach is brilliant. Saves cost and who doesn't have a phone and tablet these days. It also solves the issue of built in infotainment hardware becoming obsolete. All...

Been listening to an Inside EV podcast this morning and they mentioned how OTA software updates will work. Here's the summary I pulled via AI: 📱 Innovative Minimalism: Slate's EV eliminates the need for a built-in infotainment system by providing a standard phone mount. Drivers simply dock...

Dear Slate Auto: please give us a front bench seat option. :please:

Curious how many here are planning to get the 5-seat SUV flat-pack conversion kit, or will you only be using your Slate in pickup form? Barring a high price tag, I'm planning to get it the SUV kit and run that most of the time since I've got a kid. Fact that we can even ask this question is...
