Questions about accessorizing AKA thinking out loud. Will Slate deliver the plain Slate and we take it to a service location for up grades, etc.? Will they deliver to the service location and we pick it up, after having upgrades? Something else? If I upgrade say the turn signals (AKA parking...

Don't count your hatches before they chicken! When I had my reservation on my Model 3, my best guess on the rate of production ramp up had me waiting close to a year before my number would come up. Tesla called me a week later and told me they had one available in Ohio if I wanted to drive down...

I hope Slate keeps us fans posted on latest developments with the production buildout. It is my guess that at first they will not do direct trade ins. I will be selling my old SUV and perhaps use whatever I get for accessories. The plan right now is to drive it for several weeks as a plane slate...

I'm a cheap old boomer. Found something perfect for the Slate dash. A working AM push button radio, taken from my 1969 AMC Rebel when I junked it. It will also sound better than original; I now know how to build a speaker box instead just screwing the speaker into the dash. When Slate publishes...

You are related to living history! I hope you are recording his stories; my son did that with my dad as a school project. They are now part of our most treasured possessions/memories.

IMHO It doesn't matter until there is a price I can write on a check and drive away in something. Till than it's all guesses. As far as I am concerned Slate is a unique vehicle. That alone has value to me. I can load it up with my own junk not what some marketer thinks I need.

My concern is the way range is advertised. Your "new out of the box" range will not be your range in a year. certainly not your range at temperatures below 50F. Based on my Model 3; 7 year battery condition (100K Miles). Range 94% of original, Winter driving at 0°F 30 miles range decrease per...

And you are trying, why?

Thinking about the All Terrain Tire, appears the lift is necessary? Otherwise no. Don't want to put too much $$$ into this. It will be mostly for hauling random stuff from the nursery, hardware store, or to the dump.

As long as your grounded to the frame, you should be golden. I think the removable panels should help with that. And depending on $$$ getting an extra one to poke holes in...I'm thinking a CB whip and fab an adjustable extension to tune it for 17 M. I already have my Yaesu FT-817. Just watch the...

Yep, I'm a science nerd...but did take extra classes in poetry...helped me get and stay married 53 years.

AWD in Michigan. I cut my teeth on RWD and a push button trans. (1st and 2nd car) I've had SUVs with AWD and 4WD...you just can get yourself in trouble a little faster. My 04 Ranger was RWD...a couple of sand bags by the gate and was good to go. My Model 3 RWD with traction and anti lock...Put a...

Take a course in Physical Chemistry and join the fun! (A.K.A. FAFO)

Just an FYI Retro Radio offers sound adsorbing floor mats etc. also a good source if you want that 60s look with BT, MP3, AM/FM and Push Buttons!

I would be more than happy to pick mine up at their Troy location (main office). Realistically, any way it gets me in the drivers seat ASAP. (I am more hyped about this then I was about my Tesla.)

Waited to see what Ford was offering, and I saw it...nothing! (Ok we did see a windshield.) I was all set to do a + and - list. Slate is still winning. The only + so far are the prismatic batteries. And they do not go into production until 2026. I will "suffer" with Slate's pouch batteries. (I...

This was what I was going to Replace my ICE Ranger with. I had an associate that worked at Ford R/D on the batteries. At first it sounded great, but kept getting pushed back. Then I heard the whole project was canceled and the Ranger line discontinued. Only trust what you can see and touch. The...

I wonder if the panel below the window can be removed or modified as a pass thru? If it's part of the structural support for the window, I may have to buy another one to do some experimental modifications. Maybe someone will come up with a replacement rear window with a slide panel.

My Ford Ranger had notched out places for braces like this, it made me happy to see them.

This is an area Tesla really screwed up on. They got used to early adopters doing a deep dive into EVs. Now they have people buying them and not knowing the "care and feeding" of EVs. I have walked many new EV owners and renters I meet at charging stations that don't have a clue. It's different...
