From the Slate FAQ: Reservation holders will get an exclusive first chance to sit in a Slate. Beginning in 2026, we’ll have vehicles available for demonstration drives.

Yes I agree that Wal Mart can be a contender. Just an educated guess it could also go with Mavis / Midas. Hopefully it will be disclosed soon.

Prediction: The Slate partnership will be with Mavis Tire Centers. The timing of Slate Auto and Mavis / Midas deal is not a coincidence. And everyone has a neighborhood Mavis or Midas location nearby. Mavis Tire Express Services Corp.’s pending acquisition of Midas from TBC Corp. will give...

That center console theme borrows from the door panels. Nice job.

As far as we know, this is Slate’s current position. According to Edmunds.com: Because all of the trucks will be built as “blank slates” when they leave the production facility, installing the options looks a little different than usual. You the customer can have your accessories delivered...

More than 550,000 Ford vehicles were recalled due to airbag and structural issues that could increase the risk of crashes and injuries. According to two notices reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on May 27, the recalls cover 556,043 cars with model years...

Agree, but we all know how fast another year rolls around. I think many of us will be hugely disappointed if production is delayed. Anyone who has worked in manufacturing in any capacity understands how production schedules can quickly get off track: supply chain issues, shortages, facility...

Ram CEO: “Slate Vehicles Won't Be So Cheap Once Buyers Get Done Optioning Them Up“ Let’s substitute the word “Slate” with “RAM”. Or any other vehicle for that matter. The logic still applies. Folks, this is a profound statement. Definitely CEO material.

And (hopefully) the image from the backup camera will be larger.

Excerpt from today’s article Here More manufacturing jobs in Indiana! As you heard last month, the proposed number of employees is approximately 1,700 new jobs created by the presence of Slate in that building. Since that time, there has been a decision by Slate to bring in-house the...

No surprises here; the vote was approved. KOSCIUSKO COUNTY — Slate Auto will get personal and real estate tax abatements after the Kosciusko County Council approved them by a 5-1-1 vote Thursday night, June 12. Councilman Dave Wolkins voted against the tax abatements and Councilwoman Kathy...

I’m now rethinking my desire to wrap the Slate. It looks (and sounds) like the original finish has a low gloss matte texture. Adds a bit of ruggedness to the overall look. And no fingerprints!

With summer just around the corner, was thinking about the possibilities of using the Slate for tailgating parties. This being my first pickup truck I never considered this before. I think Slate should offer a custom canopy option; I think it will sell like hotcakes. :idea: L

Well I have to admire RAMs tagline in the CEO’s banner “Nothing Stops Ram” How true! December 2024- “Stellantis is recalling more than 315,000 of its Ram pickup trucks due to a potentially deadly safety issue with the braking system, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration...

Did you say carport? If that outlet is exposed to the elements I would also install a watertight electrical enclosure. I would also add a lockbox (or turn the breaker off when not in use) so that your neighbors don’t take advantage. Just saying.

That horn has the masculinity of the VW bug 😳. And unfortunately it sounds a bit cheap. Production versions may have better materials, as teased by several reviewers.

https://www.motortrend.com/news/2027-chevrolet-bolt-everything-you-need-to-know GM has just announced that their next generation Bolt will start at $30k and the Equinox at $41k. I understand that these models don’t compete with the utility and versatility of the Slate truck but I think it’s...

Correct, using Tesla as an example, the batteries are heated with liquid coolant, particularly when preconditioning is invoked for charging.

I have a crazy idea…. Since this is one of the most active and lively discussion groups out there, what if event attendees wear a name tag with our forum display name? I think it would be interesting to meet fellow members in person. This is optional, of course. Just a thought. And...

Well … we are almost halfway through June and still no info on these events. Not leaving us much time to plan a visit. I hope we’re not further disappointed with delays or cancellations.
