$800 ($500 for the Wrap Kit and $250-$300 for service) if you want a custom wrap that isn’t pre cut than you might be looking more at $1,500 or more.
I really don’t think Slate intends that majority of people won’t choose any speakers they are just giving people a choice between a Bluetooth speaker mount for a BYO Speaker option or their premium speakers. Honestly I prefer that over the alternative of integrating them but having really bad...
Kind of makes me want Slate to have a Launch Edition Bundle with Power Windows, arm rest, and Speakers (either the Premium Speaker or Bluetooth Speaker Mount) than start offering the Blank Slate in January 2027. Would make people realize how affordable accessories will be when all the articles...
Like the market for 2 Door Pickup Trucks is smaller but Slate has the advantage of having 0 competition there’s no EV Single/Standard Cab pickup Trucks and the average ice option is what like 40K for the cheapest trims. So Slate is launching uncontested basically. I don’t think Slate eventually...
This video is an interview with "The Voice of Slate" Jeff Jablansky (Head of Public Relations and Communications for Slate). The beginning of the interview does a great job of explaining what Slate truly is as well as their origins and getting a better understanding of some of the leadership...
Ended up being 39K for the Model Y Standard and 37K for the Model 3 Standard (Both are RWD only). The Model 3 Standard seems to be like the good deal here having comparatively very little features removed and looking nearly identical to the Premium Model 3 for 5K less. But a lot of people are...
It’s likely because the Slate App is designed around a 9x16 aspect ratio. Also most phone mounts are optimized for vertical orientation. We don’t know yet if you can change it to horizontal but I do think the best configuration will be vertically.
But I think Ed Loh brought up a great counter point that how could they in this current enviornment. I like that Slate has been vague with pricing saying things like mid-20K or under 20K when the incentives were around. It buys them wiggle room to work in. It also gives me more faith in the...
Posting this because many people probably didn’t know about this tool advertised on Slate’s Website: https://www.electricforall.org/rebates-incentives/

I don’t think Slate believes that most people will go with no speakers as their option. I think Slate is offering a choice between a Bring Your Own Speaker Option with the Bluetooth speaker mount (which should be impulse buy price point or you can 3D Print it yourself if you want) or what they...
Yeah if Slate could get to 24K I think that would be a good spot. Since at that price point you could add a wrap kit, Bluetooth speaker + mount, and probably power windows and be at the same price as the base leaf possibly even still under. While, I do believe Slate can be competitive at around...
Yeah my problem is that a lot of people say 30K as fact when it isn't. I like the telo but despite both being mini trucks I don't really think they are competitors with each other. I agree though Telo has a much more difficult path forward then Slate and I wish their team the best.
Slate will start at mid-20K not 30K and I do think Ford’s design will be a bit reminiscent of the Telo but with a crossover body shape. But it’s important to not Ford’s vehicle like Slate will have a Frunk. The Telo does not. So it will have a front hood for the frunk. I do like the Slate’s...

Shoutout to @motorolas who posted about this the first time. But I do think it’s an interesting topic that merits its own thread.
Based off what Jim Farley said and prior comments on things like the Cybertruck I think what he...
Yeah I think the key here is if Rivian can solve their quality and reliability issues with the R2. The EV Community and Rivian fans have kept that part quiet for the most part. But if R2 is going to be their mainstream product the honeymoon phase is over and the mainstream will be talking about...
But acting like it’s game over and we already losing when it’s only the 2nd inning of the EV Game is just as ridiculous. Which The other factor is Chinese policies make it impossible for ICE Vehicles to compete. These BEVs appeal highly to EV Enthusiasts but they haven’t been proven to convert...
