    Is the timing of Slate's rollout in Winter 2026 a good decision?

    That would be a great way to piss off a bunch of your most loyal supporters, the ones that gave your dream a path to life my snowy money is not good enough? Who gives a crap, weather happens, their job is to sell the car, I’m here with money and and early adopter, just because your late to the...

    Slate merch, who has made a purchase, I can’t be the only one

    I agree, I know their focus is on building a vehicle but I wish they would expand their promotional items, I keep looking for new items

    Is the timing of Slate's rollout in Winter 2026 a good decision?

    Maybe it’s not a flaw… maybe, just maybe it’s a cost benefit ratio most people don’t drive more than 100 miles a day so 150 or 240 is plenty even in the cold if adding 3 more cells cost $5,000 to the end user than 150 - 200 more miles would cost about $10,000 so now it doesn’t fit in their...

    Is the timing of Slate's rollout in Winter 2026 a good decision?

    I think they need to have a priority as in reservation timing #1 and commitment #2 and a qualifier at commitment- when would you prefer delivery, then build out the timing from there

    Looks like it is easy to slide out which will allow dirt and debris to fall out

    Article: Slate trucks will cost less than an average used car, even without tax credits

    Still the same price as the launch, no misleading or moving the goal post if you and your buddy were going to buy a pizza for $20 and then your buddy decided not to give you $10 do you blame Papa John that you had to pay $20? Papa Johns told you it was $20, the price didn’t change because your...

    Article: Slate trucks will cost less than an average used car, even without tax credits

    Ya I hate it when a company (any company) does what they do to pull a profit, isn’t it the American dream to loose your ass 🤦🏻

    How about $0 down 0% interest?

    That’s how I think it is also, so $10,000 in interest might save you $2k

    How about $0 down 0% interest?

    Probably correct, Slate will likely be in a position that they need every $$ coming in so as stated by Letas they will likely use 3rd party allowing them to get paid day1 I guess we will see, I’m hoping to have 1/2 down anyhow

    How does the Slate turn on?

    So interesting thought, if I lost my key what’s the process for replacing it? service center only? Can I do it with an account ID through a tethered phone to reprogram? Is it like my Harley where I enter a code into the dash and it will start and drive? I know these are unanswered, probably...

    How about $0 down 0% interest?

    With EV tax incentives gone and everyone in an uproar about slates price in mid $20s what if $0 down 0% for 72 months here’s what interest would be at 9% if vehicle came in at $29k with extended battery

    Seems like a neat product / Idea could see it being great for keeping things from sliding wonder the feasibility of 3d printing something similar https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19qPvNXCUm/?mibextid=wwXIfr

    Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

    my thoughts exactly, low in the interior, out of direct sunlight either that or in a center console but for 99% of my driving it would just be my phone and that goes with me road trips to where I haven't been before if I did any would be a tablet on the dash, but removed if parked

    Suggestion: DIY Delivery Center @ Slate Plant in IN

    yes its likely they could charge a convenience fee for this, but knowledge can be invaluable how many messed up wraps would it take to justify a $200 - $500 convenience fee a Slate employee guiding you through the process of installing your accessories, learning about EV's and a guided process...

    Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

    Well with over 70 already produced I’m sure there has been some real world testing and will continue to be real world tested. over the next 15 months they will likely have some of those 70 produced get some miles on them in many different environments

    Expected price now "Mid-Twenties" for Slate truck

    Unless their battery supplier has alternatives then Slate will probably be locked in for the first production run since they already have a suppler locked down

    Expected price now "Mid-Twenties" for Slate truck

    This is why it likely WILL NOT be $30k they know their timeline, they likely have an estimate of what they expect costs to be in 2026-27
