Id be down for some off road prerunner style racing in it... had chat GPT render it out, not a bad look if you ask me.

Yep, Venice is what was able to determine based on the grafiti in the background...

yep, coolant changes are messy! Hopefully they use a long life coolant that we dont need to mess with for 10+ years. One of the reasons im excited about EVs is because of the reduced maintenance, so the less I need to do to maintain this truck the better!

the data sheet for the drive motor that looks to be the one slate is using (https://www.slateforums.com/forum/threads/drive-unit-motor-supplier-appears-as-cascadia-motion-borgwarner-in-slate-prototype-video.13170/)calls for a 50-50 mix of water and Ethylene Glycol for both the motor and inverter...

Yep, no reason to complicate such a simple device. glad the video was informative! There are very few people that actually need for a massive 50-60 amp EVSE. You would need to drive a very long way each day. I personally only use the travel charger that came with my Volt with an...

Others have had some great information, if you have some time... there is a YouTube chanel - Technology Connections that has some great information about home charging... I highly recommend watching it if you are planning on a home charger, you might be able to get by with level 1, or a lesser...

no, it will likely be just pick up the data from the CAN network in the car that the rest of the information for the display comes from, speed, temps, etc.

Good Level 2 would be all I would want, something that can keep it in a lane on the highway and come to a complete stop in traffic without constantly needing to put my hands on the wheel would be great. I dont want to read a book while driving.

yeah, I remember seeing some of the earlier prototype trucks from the reveal that had a different instrument display. the updated one looks so much better!!!

I dont think that has changed, the screen is just the center section with the left and right sides being just indicators. you can see it on some early videos like the motor trend video from late April...

Slate wont be Android Auto, or Apple Carplay compatible sinceyou need to bring your own entertainment system... but they did say that you can install an aftermarket double DIN radio, which you could get one that does AA or Carplay

TDMA is sweet, I spent some time in the emergency radio space, and P25 phase 2 (TDMA) doubled the amount discrete chanels on the same frequency (with the same 12.5 kilohertz seperation), it esentially doubled the bandwitdh on the network. So applying that tech to vehicle module communication...

I think you nailed it, with the location/commitment aspect. It is cheap intel for them and they get to also send a simple thank you that their most loyal supporters (myself included) will appreciate. win/win

i was looking at that the other day, the range is not great, it would probably be a decent option if it was cheaper. it is also lacking in storage space inside especially behind the rear seats.

a "limited edition" slatelet for reservation hoolders would be really cool honestly.

Same, and when it was finally an attainable thing it was too expensive. plus my 2017 Volt was doing just fine, and still is honestly. I miss having a pickup though, and the Slate fits my needs perfectly with the added benefit of being able to transform into a small SUV if I need to move my...

No, I think they are going to send something out to every reservation holder. I didnt have my address in their system which is why I think some of us got the email.

I have a similar print from my Model 3 reservation... never did pull the trigger on it though

What could it be!?!?!

Update from Slate regarding the question. This is what i asked... " Good morning, I know that the blank slate is not going to offer any automated driver assist systems other than the basic ones that are required, automatic braking, etc. I am curious if Slate has thought about working with, or...
