Unfortunately that's how marketing works, most of these videos aren't aimed at us. It's aimed at the people who have never heard of Slate before or only know a little bit about it. We will probably just get bits and pieces of new information until there's a major new announcement.

There won't be any new ICE startups anymore, at least none that will be successful. Since no investor will give money to an ICE startup since they don't see any scalability in it. Take Slate for example an ICE Slate Truck would have sold well in the US. But when European and major Asian Markets...

Which is the main thing, since people don't expect a backseat to comfortably fit 5 full sized adults. They expect it to comfortably fit 2 full sized adults or 3 kids (and less comfortably fit 3 full sized adults as needed). Which Slate has achieved according to all available information.

Assuming it's very cheap will you be getting at min the bluetooth speaker mount instead of the premium speaker options? Personally I'm going to try it out since it's something very unique to this truck and still fits with the Kei Truck style Minimalism that the Blank Slate has going for it.

From what I understand leasing won't be available at first but is something Slate will explore later on (please correct me if I'm wrong or misheard). But I was just brainstorming of what leasing could look like considering the unique offering the Slate Truck would bring. Slate's big selling...

Slate has gone viral, I would say it has the same name recognition at min as Rivian or Lucid. Slate's marketing team is killing it and now you even have content creators that are naturally covering the truck without the need to be paid by Slate. It's doing everything right including a nationwide...

Exactly I'll handwash my Luxury Sedan since I felt pain when I noticed the car wash scratched it. But a Pick Up Truck that type of stuff just adds character.

I agree with that for Pick Up Trucks wear and tear as long as it's nothing vital to functionality of the truck just adds to the character to it. My hope is that the Slate develops the reputation of being the EV equivalent of the Toyota Hilux's of old.

The advantage they have though is because of it Legacy Manufacturers are either pumping the brakes on EVS in the US for a slower rollout or pulling out entirely and focusing on ICE sales for the US market. This gives the EV startups breathing room to capture greater market share and achieve...

I'm considering the standard range battery since I have another vehicle for long range trips. So I think the standard range will suit my needs. I'm also considering the standard range battery because I think it will be more fun to drive. Since the weight should be much less with the standard...

Well since you asked a couple things like the fact that you think it will cost 27-30K when there's 0 evidence of that at this point. Like I understand that EV companies are notorious for over promising and not meeting expected prices. But Slate has consistently said it would start mid-20K since...

Feel you on that last line but the gap years of Millennial and Zoomer. According to Reddit I'm both lol.

Fair enough, I thought you meant from the available options on the configurator lol.

I would imagine this starter pack was designed for that question: https://www.slate.auto/en/slatemaker?starterPack=lucky77

Most of the aftermarket EV Performance upgrades I've seen have been targeted at Tesla. Unplugged Performance one of the most notable companies for that. Even with a Japanese branch that supplies a racing team of Tesla's for JEVRA (Japanese Electric Vehicle Racing Associaiton). I believe they are...

Tough part for Ionna is that Tesla has such a massive headstart where they took a lot of the best locations. There's so many Tesla stations that they were basically able to force all other American EV's to adopt NACS as their charging standard just by allowing them use of their super chargers.

wonder if there will be updates that you can download to a usb drive and plug into the slate or something?

I believe Slate has said they are designing the dashboard to have easy installation of a double din aftermarket radio. Then you have the option of the Bluetooth Speaker mount for your own speaker or their built in premium speakers option.

I'm drawn to the Slate because I think an American Take on the Kei Truck Concept was cool: Cheap, Utilitarian, and customizable to how much or little you want in it. Plus I think part of me likes that it goes against the grain of what EV's are being more and more tech focused and putting the...
