im guessing there will be a video on the “Slate University” that they say is coming
couple of possible options is a stick on window antenna or a hole here option
our basement floor heat is electric, we have off peak for that, our off peak is 1/2 the normal rate
I have a relatively that just got on an EV program with a rate of $15 per month + $0.01 per kilowatt from 10pm to 6am
hopefully they will design it to be modernized as time goes on so the next replacement battery can be a newer technology
this is a huge reason Milwaukee Tools has been superior, they designed their platform to be forward thinking
unfortunately the government would need to wake up and make regulations more conducive for small ICE vehicles, this is the main reason the manufacturers went to the larger wheel bases which made sense for the 4 door vehicles
also $15,000-$20,000 for a battery, this seems like a high guess...
Depending on where the Battery is located that extra 300 lbs could be great for traction (hopefully the rear)
also depending on how much you drive that extra battery could mean that you only charge 1-2 times a week compared to 3-4 times a week or more
so if the life cycle is 2000 cycles the...
Some have said they want an AM/FM radio - Its designed to accommodate that request

Its hard to say or guess, what I find interesting that 140,000 seems high to people
"There were an estimated 243,350,000 licensed drivers in the U.S. in 2023"
so 0.05% of the driving population is a stretch? I too am at a point in my life where my kids are out of the house, I live 40 miles...
it appears you could, you will not get the benefit of off peak rates
some electric companies issue you a credit for installing an off peak charging station
yet you miss my point, probably because you like to argue
I’ll state it again, this will not be a vehicle for that, hell this vehicle won’t be a want or desire for the majority of people and at 150,000 a year production it can not be
I live in Minnesota, if I go to Kansas I’ll take a different...
That would be me with my company car, or on the rare occasion me and my family driving our subaru outback or F 150 but I do understand your point, people do travel, but not the majority all the time
my point is this will be a weekend runner for me, might be the back and forth vehicle for my...
I think it really comes down to the will of the buyer, there are a lot of people that feel that EV is not right for them.
Many of them probably only drive 200 per week with the mindset of "what if I wanted to drive across the country in my EV, what a hassle"
The reality is that they haven't...
I would recommend a .2 nozzle, printed on my Bambu P1P with a .4 nozzle and though it turned out mostly good, the slate A and E are an issue, fender flares are an issue and the wording at the bottom is not legible
I think the investors are going to be a huge part of sucess
I believe the team they put together
I believe their marketing department keeping it in front of everyone
look at the size of the plant they bought in Warsaw, IN
a long way to go until production but I’m optimistic and intend on buying
That is why most EV owners have a second vehicle that is ICE, where I live 240 mile range (probably more like 200) is more than sufficient for day to day, I also occasionally pull a car trailer or dump trailer, I wil still keep my full size pickup, this EV will potentially allow me to keep my...
Well, maybe you are correct, but electric intrigues me, I like the tech behind it, I do not think it’s the answer but it’s neat, maybe not corvette cool but in my opinion the little pickup and customization is cool
both are reason enough for me to purchase
here are some BLANK SLATElets if you want to design your own, please share what you do
edit: I do not know if or how these will fit as I do not have my SLATE pickup yet
unfortunately I'll have to wait awhile
