My ex still drives one. That thing can fit a lot of gear.

It’s more likely a research gathering website. They are looking for ideas and opinions. It’s cheaper and more effective than doing a bunch of focus groups.

Has Slate said even once that their target is low income consumers? Just because the cost is low, does not mean the target is low income. I think their target is people who are fiscally conservative and want a low cost second vehicle or small business owners who are always looking for ways to...

Custom wrap.

No question that CURRENT electric depends too much on coal. I’m talking about FUTURE electric sourcing. More demand will drive more alternative-to-coal sourcing. The bigger concern is batteries. The materials needed to make them and what to do with used batteries. Battery recycling is going to...

The short answer is yes.

Pretty sure that’s a wrap over the side glass…

Bingo…you nailed it.

It could be in the mirror, but in that case the mirror is a screen. Much easier to do a virtual dash cluster.

How are EVs more convenient than ICE vehicles? Is finding a charge station then waiting 30+ minutes for a charge more convenient than stopping for gas? When you get home with an ICE car, do you need to worry about fueling up overnight? Buying an EV is actively choosing to not use gas (or...

The transmission lock is not a button, it’s via radio or proximity sensor allowing the car to move (eg. be put in drive). No fob in the vehicle, no movement. Not sure what the solution for towing is (no fob in the vehicle)…I’m sure every EV company has solved this. As for the buttons on the...

If the plastic is PVC-based, it’s always a bad idea.

That Maverick you described is a first car / only car solution. The Slate is a second car solution. Pretty sure Slate is only interested in competing against high mileage used cars with much greater operating and maintenance costs.

I don’t think the rebate helps Slate profitability other than help drive sales. It’s designed to help the consumer and grow EV sales volume. More EVs sold means lower carbon footprint and more investment in charge station infrastructure. It also could mean more investment in the means of...

Connect the camera to the phone via BT? I suppose that’s possible but I think unlikely. What if you don’t have your phone with you? That backup camera is a safety requirement. Also, how is the battery and speed status going to be presented? On the phone? This seems extremely unlikely. If you...

100% with you there. At well over $4/gallon for regular unleaded in my area, I’m ready to cut the gas fuel cord for a EV commuter that does double duty as a business advertisement with custom wrap. The whole thing is getting deducted as a business expense. [edit: I saw regular at $4.85/gallon in...

I think Slate has the second car market square in their sights. People who want a low cost commuter or small businesses that need a low cost light duty hauler. This is not a car for first time, low income buyers living in an urban apartment building.

You can get it in any color as long as it’s gray. Sound familiar?

I think this is fantastic. Love the shirt and will be ordering one soon.
