    Slate driving footage in production plant (confirmed real by Slate Auto)

    I went straight to the source and asked Slate. Here's their reply:

    Slate Video: Lawn Tool Fit Check

    My Ego electric mower has been going strong for almost 10 years now, and the original battery lasted 7 years before it needed a replacement. I've now got a garage full of their stuff, including a snow blower I picked up last winter. I could never ever go back to gas equipment, and especially...

    Slate Surveys

    Here's a post from the company's official LinkedIn account for one: Holy crap dude. Do you not understand that this forum, and our little spreadsheet is not affiliated AT ALL with Slate corporate? Slate took $50 from over 100,000 people, and you don't think that they have a list of who those...

    Tailgate party, anyone?

    That Mach-E frunk doesn't even have cup holders. Useless!

    Slate Surveys

    I'm not sure that I agree with the wisdom of tapping into the masses. That's how you get back to only offering huge trucks with crew cabs and short beds. Slate seems to have smart people on their team with a solid vision for what they want to produce. They have obviously put WAY more thought...

    This might be a Drag on Slates success.

    This thing makes the Telo look well proportioned.

    Outer body panels and aftermarket support

    Cheap handheld laser scanners are pretty easy to come by these days, and can have sub-millimeter accuracy. Whether provided by Slate or the hobbyist community, finding accurate models should be pretty simple.

    New Week, New Views of Slate Pickup Parked on City Streets

    I found the exact spot the orange wrapped truck was parked for the recent Top Gear video, there's a bunch of identifying landmarks in the video. On close inspection, I think it may actually be outside of their Long Beach design studio, so decided against posting it. If I'm right, it's less than...

    Did anyone else get a phone call from Slate today?

    44 could be "hi", so (833) HI SLATE!

    Ergonomics / Human Factors Engineering on the Slate Truck

    My dad's 90s chevy S10 had two tiny jump seats that folded down and pointed inward. They were awful, even for a kid. Whatever slate does will be miles better than those.

    Slatelets - opinions?

    I can see them being fun to collect if they're limited to specific events or requirements. Like if you can get one for taking a factory tour, are a day 1 reservation holder, or one for showing up to a sponsored meetup or something like that. Badges that say "I was there when..." If they're just...

    So how are you mounting you 50 cal

    You'll need an ISIS flag to complete the look. 🙄

    Service locations: 2500+ centers nationwide

    I posted this a while back, but Walmart's own auto center page claims "over 2,500 Auto Centers nationwide" which is an exact match to the statement by Slate about their yet-unnamed partner.

    Slate truck size shown parked inside garage first look video (in pickup and SUV form)

    I keep calling the slate a small truck, which it is in comparison to other trucks. But I finally got around to comparing the dimensions to my '16 CRV, and the Slate is basically the same size. 5" shorter front-to-back, 5" taller, and 1" narrower left-to-right. The Slate is not nearly as small as...

    Rage Bait AI at its finest - why Slate will fail 😡

    At the very beginning, they say "in the next 12 minutes..." on a 24 minute video. It was at that point I thought, "what the heck am I even doing." and turned it off.

    What happened to the Salt Lake and Detroit events planned for June?

    The original posting for the Olympia Washington event said it would be at the farmer's market. It might be that the interest has been so overwhelming that their initial plans to park a truck on the street and have a few reps on hand to answer questions would clearly be inadequate...

    Influencer photoshoots from Slate Instagram

    I just came across these influencer photoshoots that Slate did, and thought they were kind of fun. Reposting here for everyone (like me) that isn't on Insta. I'm looking forward to people having fun decorating their cars, not just with full wraps, but with smaller and easier to DIY cut-vinyl...

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    When we had solar installed 8 years ago, I had the electricians add a second 100 amp subpanel in our garage, which is on the complete opposite side of the house from the main breaker panel. That will make adding the level 2 charger a no brainer now, and i've been wanting to add 220 outlets for a...
