    Jeff Bezos's $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

    I want the slant rear window top without roll bar or rear seats. I don't like the other top, except for it's removable sunroof.

    New touring event dates are up on the Slate Events page!

    I saw this on Facebook and here, does have a greenish look.

    Jeff Bezos's $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

    Do they have the range needed for fleet service? We use to order parts for the farm and it would be there very quick, but I don't know if that would work on the range the Slate has. Even a pizza delivery, back and forth, 150 miles is used up quickly. I was thinking possibly for a florist or...

    If the Slate PU came only as an ICE, I would buy one.

    I'm still remembering all the grease joints, I think there were at least 12 places you had to grease every 3,000 miles, mostly on the front end. The good old days. 😆

    How and when did you hear about Slate?

    I don't even remember if it was in the news or somewhere else. It was on TV, but I was not even looking for it, it just showed up. I was glued to the information though even though I was not looking for it. There was also the funny commercial for Taxidermy - Mortuary. That was 4/24/25. I...

    Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    I wonder about people that buy cars off Carvana and places like that, buying a car when you just see pictures and a description. Can you back out of the deal after you see it in person, or if you don't like the way it drives?

    I am only interested in the Slate because it is an EV. Only reason I'm here.

    Jeff Bezos's $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

    Which makes me wonder if eventually Slate will start selling stock? Lucid, and Tesla both have stock, but I wasn't watching them from the start. I bought Lucid stock but doubt I will be buying one of their cars anytime soon.

    Inside EVs: I Saw The Affordable Slate Truck In Person. Now I’m Worried

    He spent most of the time in the article talking about vehicles we can’t even buy here, so why bother to compare? The new Scout is more comparable in the idea. It is larger, better equipped, and 3X the price though. They are spending more on their new factory buildings and won’t be available...

    New Car and Driver Article: Will The Tiny Slate Truck Become the Next Big Thing?

    I would guess it is to clear the driveshafts (halfshafts).

    New Car and Driver Article: Will The Tiny Slate Truck Become the Next Big Thing?

    This site has more information and pictures. I'm trying to understand the de Dion. (I had not seen this site until today). https://www.theautopian.com/why-the-slate-evs-unconventional-rear-suspension-makes-perfect-sense/

    New Car and Driver Article: Will The Tiny Slate Truck Become the Next Big Thing?

    There are a number of pictures in the article that I haven't seen before. There are pictures of the rear suspension and motor, and pictures of the framework without body panels.

    Removable top over cab - or large sunroof/moonroof, t-roof like Pulsar NX

    I think the top can be unbolted, but not as easily removed as a regular shell on a pickup. I think our pickup is only clamped on by 4 or 6 clamps. The fastback top would be removable. It rains too often here to get the open version only. I had thought about getting only the top and no rear...

    SK On is the company that will supply batteries for Slate. This is a different company.

    This Is So Boring Now

    They are rolling out information probably as fast as they can. Last week the progress on the factory, which looks like it has a long way to go, but at least they show something is happening. I would like for them to show more structural pictures or drawings of the chassis, frame, batteries...

    Range, tow load limits, trailers, and EVs - SOLVED

    I think Lucid had talked about a changeable battery pack. Rather than waiting to charge, you would go to a Lucid Dealer, they would drop your old battery and put on a charged one. That never went beyond initial talks. Charging your current battery sounds much simpler.
