A small frame would be a nice touch…. Interesting that the final product matches the concept fairly closely. Usually that doesn’t happen in the auto industry.

I believe Slate made it clear that battery packs whether base or extended range are not a DIY situation. Once you configure a base or extended battery, that design is forever. It’s the ONLY option that can’t be changed down the road. An important consideration when you order your Slate...

That’s the backup camera. Yes! 🙂

Just checked my USPS informed account. Surprised to see an envelope coming from Slate! Finally. Hope it’s a sticker pack that I can display proudly on my notebooks! A throwback to my high school days. I consider this “Sticker shock“ that I’m actually looking forward to… Interesting that I...

I think I would prefer taking advantage of the cavity on the dash that would accept a double DIN receiver. The flip down cover keeps it out of sight.

Really not a fair price comparison given the federal tax credit applies on the Honda and it won't apply to the Slate.

Generally people buy used to save a few bucks. With a low entry point it doesn’t make much sense to buy a used Slate truck.

Yes, I also considered this aspect, but their response “still in development“ casts serious doubt on their production readiness. A better response would have been: “we’ve down-selected to x highly capable and proven suppliers, and are now considering dual sourcing to meet production rates.”

Many thanks for your excellent photos and details. Love the 360 pix! Although, I must admit it is very concerning that the main drive motor is still in development. Appreciate the candid answers from Slate, nevertheless not something we wanted to hear. Meaning that lab testing is still...

Did you ever get a response to your question on speedo / odo calibration? As an FYI, Tesla has addressed this with a built in app on the settings menu. No OTA update required!

Another question to ask Slate: Does the vehicle come with ABS? Or only Automatic Emergency Braking?

The OBD2 port really isn't needed. I'm sure there is a diagnostics screen hidden in a Service Menu that will show alerts, faults, and other relevant data. Tesla strongly advises against playing around in the service menu. You can really screw things up... not covered by the warranty if you...

Just a confirmation that the SUV holds 4 adults. Or 2 adults a d 3 small children. The guys in the back can't wait to jump out!

Not sure if anyone asked regarding the SUV kit: Will I need a torque wrench to self install the roll cage, rear seats, and roof topper? If so, what is the max torque required? Do I need hex bits, Torx, or both? What sizes? Is the SUV KIT a 2 man job? Also, curious about the third...

Nice work

Correct, I guess seeing a “mirrored” word on the backup screen wouldn’t have the same dramatic effect.

Didn’t say the video is fake. Just the image in the display is fake. They thought nobody would notice.

I think the wiring harnesses for fog lights, power windows, audio and speakers will have blank connectors in place so most electrical options should be plug and play.

Don’t expect an AWD version for at least 3 years. Since the basic Slate is being introduced as a MY2027 that means an AWD Slate in 2030. I think I will be thoroughly disinterested by then.

Wow. This is a fake! Backup cameras show a reverse image as you would see in a rear view mirror. The word “YES” should be reversed…. “SEY”. Why is “ambulance” is spelled backwards on front of emergency vehicles. So it displays correctly in you rear view mirror and camera. Honestly I...
