Favorite line of the interview: Tiger Stadium When Jeff is cornered into giving a “ballpark price“ for the SUV kit…

Tesla didn’t just remove radio functionality to achieve the lower price point in the new standard models. They also removed (to name a few): Power folding mirrors Power adjusted steering wheel Power folding & heated rear seats Autopilot Rear touchscreen display Rear electronically controlled...

If you add premium connectivity for $99 per year you can stream all the music you want with Spotify free and Tune-in radio. No phone required. I currently have this feature and it works great.

Video of Fortune interview: https://fortune.com/videos/watch/the-everything-truck/2937ad65-f462-4439-94aa-340ebbcc6f5b. Newly released interview conducted by Fortune Magazine and the Slate team regarding 3rd party opportunities and the value proposition that Slate promises to deliver.

From the media shown in various sources, your iPad will mount in landscape mode. The Slate app will most likely orient itself to landscape mode. Meaning that the charging cable must be routed to either side.

I’m a big fan of Jonny Lieberman; he’s an amazing author and very knowledgeable in this arena. His comment that Slate hasn’t yet released pricing on the extended range version is on point.

From the CNBC article in June: Employees move back and forth between the bins, tables and assembly line as songs such as Whitney Houston’s “Saving All My Love for You” and Pat Benatar’s “Love is a Battlefield” echo throughout the lively facility. I prefer your suggestions much better!

Looks like a fun place to work. I also read that Slate plays background music in the prototype factory, which may carryover to the Warsaw production facility.

Here you go. What your Slate truck will look like when you park overnight in the wrong part of town.

Who would want these body panels? Until Slate catches up to Honda production volumes, it's not going to be an issue. Generally, parts theft is a concern if / when they are 'high ticket items' and someone is aiming to repair their accident - damaged vehicle. Some high theft items that I can...

Agreed, the official website hasn’t seen any updates since inception, other than roadshow events. I understand there are higher priorities at Slate, but at least it would keep us from losing interest. No news is not necessarily good news.

For those who like to be spontaneous and not tethered to ABRP, new signs are rolling out on major highways! And since Slate offers the NACS charging port, you will be greeted with the following:

You're raising a very valid point concerning factory output at Slate Auto. The subassembly and final assembly lines are yet to be built. We've seen the 'current state' of the ongoing demolition and outfitting the factory in recent news articles. Although they have simulated mockups and...

Invariably, some folks will continue to look to Mercedes, Cadillac etc. for brand image and the status it conveys, although reality soon sets in; depreciation takes a huge toll on the transaction in just a few years. In contrast, the Slate brand conjures up more of a smart, practical approach...

This presents an interesting opportunity for reservation holders. Slate can offer free charging credits for lease holders of 1 or 2 years. I’m sure they can negotiate a contract with the property owners to keep occupancy rates high. If this project proves successful, more units should be...

ABC57 News Article From ABC57 news: “The electric truck company, Slate Auto, is coming to Kosciusko County, just outside Warsaw, and promising more than 2,000 full-time jobs. But those workers need somewhere to live. With that in mind, Warsaw city leaders broke ground Tuesday on the new...

Yes, and Slate can claim success on this goal even if they only deliver a “couple of trucks” off the line in December 2026. To maintain credibility I’m sure they’ll find a way to deliver.

My thoughts exactly. The teaser videos and images that last just a few seconds are purposely designed to create a perception that Slate is further along in the design process than they are. The dismissive nature of the email responses from the ‘Slate Team’ (eg. “great question; we don’t know and...

They should just rename it something way more appropriate, like RAM 1500 RIP……

Yes. Not a gimmick. Starting in Model year 2026 the following “high priced propulsion” parts will be covered under the new 7-year warranty; Power Conversion System (PCS) Assembly PCS Inlet and Outlet Assembly Hoses Ancillary Harness Assembly High Voltage Fast Charge Contactors Assembly High...
