super stripper? how about the option to get a slate with NO plastic, NO wheels Then the aftermarket guys could go crazy! Buy a super-stripper, dolly it up with some other ???? plastic, in pyrotechnic color. raise or lower the suspension, change the wheels and tires! I mean, it could look...

So we have "fried" and "scrambled", and "eggcessivly eggspensive" How about they just go borrow some tech to run from the main pack, not the 12v battery? Then we would have "poached eggs", OMG! tailgater (from Louisiana?) breakfast, : eggs-Slatenict? eggcept its no longer the tailgate! Yo...

Hey ditch the 12v lead for an LiFe, same size, same weight, same current capacity, 4x the watt-hours, and right now only about 4x the cost, needs a different charge-controller tho. By time Slate ship it'll only be 2x the cost

I wonder what the cost of the "eggcessory" will be? Under $100 I think I'd go for it!

Agree with cadblu, ship to the south first. No winter battery or charging issues here in central FL. But winter-2026? As I recall promise was earlier. Seems to me they are saying "we will ship in the 2027 model year", forget 2026.

OK, you are entitled to your opinion. But outside of the engine/transmission an EV has pretty much the same set of parts as an ICE car. Motor/transmission, yes your right, EV is much simpler, but those high-power semiconductors that run the motor will not last forever, so motor-controller...

Need a computer ugrade?, the infotainment screen just went blank, one cell out of the 4000 or so in the pack died, one of your dual-motors is making a funny noise? . . . Now your right about things like brake-pads, suspension, tires etc, maybe lights? but MoPar do not make parts for Tesla's...

Try fixing your Tesla on your own? They will not sell you any of the electronic bits, no matter who you are.

Blast!, I was in NJ only 2 weeks ago. Not going back. Still no South-Eastern states

The "comparison" I have is with the Aptera, not really a comparison since they are quite different. But as you say, "whats my next daily runabout?" Both electric, both practical, both with a heavy emphasis on Right-To-Repair. Have to say Slate seems much more likely to make it The Telo truck...

OK, I get that, but white noise will not get your attention. The point of the horrible beeping is to make you pay attention, to the horrible bucket-loader, 400 yards away, past 4 houses, and 7 fences. How loud do you suggest the white-noise generator be for reverse on a bucket-loader? To be...

Hey! this is not trouble! Its just a "vociferous debate", thats what my mum used to call it when my brothers and I would argue a point. That was usually motorcycles, then we grew up and it became politics. An animated debate, no matter how you rate it, or any of the participants, is better than...

Dude! beeping at 108 decibels is NOT white noise Its audible, and annoying from a mile away!

so they start shipping end-2026, few dozen/week production target is 150k / year Folks that is 500 per day, one every few minutes! Not a few dozen per week. GUYS, GALS, even ROBOTS? give us all some sort of ramp-up schedule so that we can believe you, we want to. But will you produce 500...

I do no think it would take "more space". I believe I can design a parking lot that can hold just as many cars, but the local zoning board would not allow it 2 main reasons: 1) there would be no "main drag" in front of the store. pedestrians only, cars in the back of the lot local zoning would...

agree, see your point, but my point is in a parking lot you should never have to walk BEHIND a vehicle, any vehicle, not even a motorcycle. There should be a pedestrian-path. Thats where you walk (or push your shopping cart with 300lb of groceries), right up to your car/truck/mega-thingy Right...

You two need to agree on a mutually acceptable cocktail. Has to be compatible with your "mowing habit" Mowing habits: I was "mowing he grass", only abut 2 acres, and then I had to take wife for the "weekly checkup", my first daughter, Anita, born 45 minutes later, few days early. Dad still had...

oooh! they will be first, I'll be in the line. great products, boot-proof, and I wear big, dirty, boots

It should be "Silent but deadly" just like a really wicked fart! But no, seriously, why do you want to annoy pedestrians? after all, you are just one person, all the way from your 3-ton SUV to the store. SO? my "Alert" would be a bit funkier, say early-Abba, maybe some old-Stones, perhaps some...

Yes, agreed, hard for most folk. But its the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Thats why I do NOT want infotainment. I like to hear myself think!
