That does seem to be the plan. Many seem to just be antsy that the files haven't been released already for that to start, it will probably be early next year, with real accessories and pricing being shown mid next year. I mean for me, I'm thinking I probably will at least print seasonal light...

Toyota also is now advertising that you can get aftermarket parts installed at the dealers. I'm just saying companies like weather tech probably won't have to wait to measure the truck, some time next year, Slate will release detailed measurements, and set up for 3rd parties to sell their...

That is part of the issue when people post AI responses, you lose the footnotes. And now as far as AI is concerned, if it's pulling from these forums, you've just reinforced the likely false data.

You are probably right. Flat towing would require new parts, and regen is complicated.

The thing is with their marketplace plan, they may well provide that data, and have weather-tech and other brands for sale through the slate site. It doesn't sound like Slate intends to handle the manufacturing of accessories much beyond things like the SUV kits and similar that they have to...

Lack of power windows shouldn't be an issue, it's designed to be upgraded. The Ford vehicle is still vaporware, maybe less than that, we haven't even seen drawings of it. Dropping the price of the Slate or any other incoming vehicle is going to be difficult with tariffs and the market...

The problem is 240 volt outlets generally installed in houses for things like dryers are not rated or designed for continuous use, even at 24 amps. Search "ev charger outlet melted" You need an industrial grade or EV specific outlet installed, and it's an electrician job, partly because the...

They've got to go for multiple different customers. They didn't get 100k reservations in 2 weeks just from utilitarian diyers. It's still too early for electrical diagrams and CAD files, though they will come. How many major well known manufacturers have changed specs, engines etc even...

The issue with using the stock residential outlet is real, and actually necessary. I have a gas dryer, that uses only a 110 outlet for power. So there is a dryer outlet there that has never been used. Now that I go and take a picture behind the dryer, looks like it is a nema 10-30, scale was...

I was referring to the original post, from gemini which reads like more info has been released that hasn't.

Finally watched the video. All the things he says he really thinks Slate needs, are for things he already said customers don't really need. Gas power for more range, 4wd for offroading people never do, etc. Then he compares to the hybrid maverick, which isn't even a plug in hybrid.

Even the sound...

I have no interest in flat towing my self but it's looking like the summary is this. Slate has only stated that they would look into flat towing. If they did add it, it would likely be by disengaging the tires from the motor unit in some way, as other methods are more complicated and expensive...

Even an unwrapped base slate is going to stand out because it has a unique color and look, and it is the only single cab "small" truck that isn't an aging truck being kept running. Wraps are cool and all, I am undecided on whether I will get one, and they will attract even more attention, but I...

That would be why it still has disk brakes. If you hit the brake pedal moderately hard, they will engage, and you will have stopping power happening on all 4 wheels. I don't know how much I'd trust that AI generated analysis, it seems to have a bunch of detail we haven't seen, and it may have...

Considering in the first 2 weeks they passed 100k reservations, and only 479 people here have gone to the effort of posting in the reservation thread, and there are only about 1560 registered users here, the vast majority of those who thought it was worth putting $50 down aren't even here...

That's a concept and nothing more, I'd have at least left the deposit in, because that concept may disappear entirely before you'd have even had to make a decision in around a year. Telo at least has built A prototype, but they are far from production, and plan on slow production.

Slate isn't really competing with any EV truck that is on the market. They run $52k-100k if you can find a base model. It looks like as of July, 2025 sales of Rivian R1T were at 3479, at ~$78k base price Silverado EV 5439 at $73k+ Cybertruck 10,712 at$72k+ F150 lightning 13,029 $54k+ If the...

My thought is that space that becomes the rear footwell in the SUV, if it could be accessed from the truck cab would be ideal for that kind of stuff. Accessing it from the bed by removing the cover would be one thing, but requires an empty bed, and is either inconvenient or insecure. From the...

First step is to replace the outlet with one that is rated for the use. Splitter is only needed if you need the outlet for the dryer. A dryer only uses power in cycles, switching on and off for up to an hour or so at a time, a charger will use pretty much the max it is programmed for up to 8...
