Sometimes it’s difficult to decide between the fastback and square SUV versions. Until I realized, but wait, I can have both!

Actually, I think the design language of the truck appeals to women. Especially considering the subdued, non-aggressive stance and infinite color palette available for wraps. The Slate may be more of a ‘babe magnet‘ than you think. And the cash you saved on the truck can be used to spoil your...

Starting at $35k? No thank you. I will wait patiently for the Slate.

Not on the strategic threat radar at SA. They have nothing to worry about!

You guys in CA have many more Supercharger stations than in NY. It's always crowded here. And for some ridiculous reason they have disabled Tesla SC stations on the NJ and CT turnpikes!

I exclusively charge my EV at the "super off peak" rate, after 10 pm and before 6 am. I always try to avoid peak hours of 3 pm to 7 pm from my local utility. Not many customers are aware they offer several rate plans to accommodate ev charging. All you have to do is ask.

It does appear that Slate uses seat side airbags for the driver and front passenger. So that will be part of the assembly process. If you follow Sandy Munro, who has a few You Tube interviews on the Slate, he praised the comfort and ergonomic support of Tesla seats. In fact, Sandy uses a...

Also take notice how large the driver's left arm is. Obviously, it's from cranking windows all day long. :clap:

Not to add to the pain, but for those using a Tesla supercharger there are some new fees in effect: congestion fees, if the station is crowded you will pay 50 cents per minute if you're charging over 80% idling fees if your charge is completed and haven't moved your car. i believe you get a...

Why would anyone want to disable the rear view camera? I sincerely hope you don’t parallel park your Slate in front of mine! What if some little kids are playing in the street while you back up and your rearview mirrors don't pick them up?

Here is a screen shot from the prototype video depicting the interior of the 5 seat SUV variant. As is common in the auto industry, SA designed the interior for the majority of the driving population, better known as the fifth to 95th percentile, which covers persons approximately 5' to 6'4"...

Perhaps, haven’t tried this yet. There is a full browser on board that is Linux based. Plus a suite of movie channels including Netflix, Disney+, YouTube, and several more with the full connectivity subscription. And yes, I can access this forum. Really helps pass the time while supercharging!

You are correct; not required for hardwired installations. Here‘s the latest on the NEC code regarding EV chargers: NEC Requirements: The NEC 2020 (and later versions) specifically requires GFCI protection for all receptacle outlets installed for EV charging. This means that if you are using a...

Completely agree! But after the long wait is over, let’s hope this forum doesn’t end up like a lot of other forums. They tend to be dominated with complaints. Certainly there will be issues on a totally new design. I just hope they are relatively minor in nature.

And a new electrical code just went into effect; the breaker must be GFCI type!

OP and/or Admin: I think the title of this thread should be edited to say, Dashboard speakers DO NOT come standard - confirmed!

You cannot get AM band in a Tesla! However, here is what's included: FM radio Sirius XM Live one Apple music Tidal Audible Amazon music You Tube music Tunein radio Spotify free note: all subscription based except for FM, Tunein, and Spotify

I do have some experience in wrapping my old BMW. But ever since I did this…

Since it’s reservations holders only, Slate could make the test drive an after hours private event at a baseball stadium parking field, for example. BMW has previously done this at Citi Field. Without any of the hoopla that would inevitably happen at a larger venue like SLC or Detroit (still...

Wondering if the optional console has a lockable storage space for your iPad? I don’t want to carry my tablet around every time I park. Does anyone really think that seeing a Slate parked on a street is going to be a theft risk? And being this is a bare bones vehicle, I’m going to assume there...
