Oh. Your question in your original post looked like it was about the company itself, not the name "Slate". I've worked in start ups. Company names (and product names) can shift around a lot during development -- especially after the trademark lawyers comeback to us with their litigation risk...

Andy, that's an altogether different company. Take a look here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate_Auto Then search for the various interviews the auto journalism writers have had with execs from Slate Auto.

I would love to do that. Unfortunately, nobody (including dealerships) in New Hampshire or Massachusetts sells those rubber refills anymore. It's been that way for 12 or more years.

Wow, nice catch @cadblu . We might have to change your username to HawkEye.

I have written software drivers that need to connect to hardware and electronic test equipment. Even if though Slate does not have an infotainment console (a great cost reduction strategy), the Blank Slate still needs a computerized controller to carefully manage the battery to motor (and...

In my computer programming career, that role is critically important and the salary is just barely competitive IMHO. Seriously, I don't have any concerns about these event cancellations. From the beginning, I was surprised they were planning them this soon in the first place. In my career, I...

Me too.

I like the look of the perforated wheels without covers. If we get the choice, that's how I want my Blank Slate.

Yup. Furthermore, I apply that same logic regarding 4 doors on a pickup truck.

Me too.

Me too.

Oh yes, I agree with you on DIY and on Slates probably requiring far less services from the collision shops. In my area, many of those collision shops also offer car customization services on today's cars. I am a life-long "car guy" and I like to tinker with them (which might explain why I...

Your opinions ruffled the feathers of others but you've stayed within the forum guidelines. I think you'll be staying. So the others will have to decide for themselves if they want to read your posts. BTW, my reply is intended to support your membership, but I do not agree with many of your...

If my Slate was covered in PV panels, I would be freaking out. Big time! I live in the USA. People here are too careless with shopping carts, how they drive, open car doors in tight space, and toss trash out the window while driving. Then there's all the random rocks that get kicked up on the...

Collision shops will make a ton of money in quick wrapping of Slates. Think about it. There are people who spend hundreds of dollars (or more) on a pair of sneakers just to match their new clothes. It's not hard to imagine that former collision shop running new TikTok ads going like this...

There is an interesting disconnect in the news (and even with some users in this forum). I'm amused whenever I hear multiple analysts state how difficult it will be for Slate to succeed -- especially as they reference Lucid and Rivian. Yes indeed, those companies are still struggling with...

hmm... I'm not impressed, but I'm still hooked on Slate. I will stay with the plain door and window crank. The top of the door will be my armrest.

I agree. Decades ago, I went through the math. I'm not against solar panels, but they are not the "power plants" that people think (or wish) they are -- especially at more northern latitudes.

Delusional? Not really. Don't forget that this thread is a rant. OP made it clear at the start. So, feel free to post any complaints in here. Earlier, I complained about the poor packaging design of oranges. Now I'm going to complain about the missing hair on my head. My brother still has...

Yup. There's nothing wrong with its look or shape. I love it too.
