NO, the other driver was yelling, You’re Going the Wrong Way!” And they just waved back. Look! It’s a One Way Street!

Looks like I’m challenging the wrong crowd

I was referring to knowing your SOC when you’re NOT in your car. Quick- what’s the available range on your Silverado 🙂

I think it’s inevitable that folks will need to drive the Slate at or near its limits from time to time. You will find out soon enough. Your so-called “routine” is not fixed. As you already know, there will always be the little unplanned trips to the grocery store, pharmacy, emergencies, and...

In order to maintain a healthy battery, I plan to follow the 20/80 charging scheme. As a daily (local) driver on the standard battery, it will likely be charged every other night. Now factor in cold ambient temperatures and less than ideal driving conditions/ habits, and I expect to charge...

Can anyone recommend a DIN2 plug and play AM/ FM / CD player that will fit nicely in the Slate dashboard. I have hundreds of CDs that went into storage in the late 90s. I see this as another benefit, that Slate will help reacquaint me with my music library.

Ram 1500 REV Electric Pickup Truck Is Dead Before It Could Pile Up on Dealer Lots "As demand for full-size battery electric trucks slows in North America, Stellantis is reassessing its product strategy and will discontinue development of a full-size BEV pickup. As part of this, Ram is renaming...

Yes, you did read the article. I posted this article almost one month ago! Tran is a little late to the party. Slate Makes the Cover of Car and Driver Magazine!

This is the 2026 model; it hasn't been released yet.

A first impressions look by a reviewer who got to witness the Slate truck at one of the Slate to State events. Quote from the video @5:35: "it's still pretty awesome, even at $30K"

Aside from the new Ford Model T moment, all the above referenced EV’s represent solid proof that Slate is already putting downward pressure on prices. And we are still ~15 months away from production. This is a big win for consumers.

Slate has promised that reservation holders will be invited to a personal test drive early next year. It's mentioned in the FAQ section on slate.auto. I know this is anxious crowd, but we just need to be patient. I know it's not easy!

Some of the AI engines (eg. Grok) suggest that the SUV kit will be $5K. I hope it comes in around $3500 since it was announced Slate is still working with suppliers for the most economical options. In any event I hope their “major announcements” are released soon.

To summarize; great question, but we don’t know the answer, and even if we do know, we can’t say anything.

Or better yet, produce a video of a drone flyover of the full assembly line. Like we’ve seen at the Tesla gigafactory 🙂

You nailed it! I think what we’re all experiencing is the reality of the “ownership lifecycle”- excitement, research, planning, waiting, anticipation, and finally taking delivery. Year(s) of impatiently waiting, second guessing, comparing, and evaluating our decisions. And suddenly Slate...

This comprehensive video is so well produced it may merit its Own thread. Enjoy! Produced by ALL IN Kosciusko Welcome to Kosciusko County, Slate Auto! From a factory tour, to a block party, to Friday night lights... the anticipation became reality. They are officially HERE! Welcome to the...

To your point, Tesla at one time offered an OTA performance boost on certain models that users could access… but you needed to pay for it.

100% agree with your assessment. Slate continues to attract experienced talent, including Napolean Reyes who headed Tesla's Model Y Refresh General Assembly. He is now the Senior Manager, Plant Vehicle Engineering at Slate in Warsaw. He joins Rich Schmidt (former manufacturing director at...

Slate Fast Back Rivian R3 Don't believe it's a coincidence when looking at the Rivian R3 and the Slate Fast Back version side by side. Interesting that the Rivian is a four door, yet overall smaller in length by almost 13 inches! The two models are compared in the table below (from Bing...
