What all would the app even have? Navigation - multiple free apps Navigation with planning for charging, customized for remaining range - there are apps, are they free, do you need to pay for some features? Music streaming - there are free and paid apps Software updates for the truck - kind of a...

From what they have said, a subscription wouldn't be required. Even a phone won't be required just to drive around. The app will be free, potentially the app may have some features that are enabled by a subscription, but I haven't thought of any that would make sense. Question for current EV...

Everyone keeps calling the vehicles at these events betas, but they aren't even that. These are likely early hand-built alpha builds, without half the details that will be in the final product. For example the seats, the pedestrian detection, these demo models may not even have airbags. Betas...

Just how hard would it be for someone in Canada to buy a Slate, and just take delivery south of the border? I'm sure they would have to pay some fees/taxes at the border and to register it, but as long as it isn't too excessive, I'd think they would do it.

Many people equate range to a "tank of gas" which leads to anxiety. Most should be setting up to charge at home, so that means you are basically topping off every night. The real question is how far do you drive in a day? What is the farthest you will regularly be driving? Once every couple of...

I can see wheels being one of the easiest things for them to do at the factory, we will have to see how they do it though.

Even a Nissan Rogue with a higher trim package now has the rear disc brakes that work that way in the past few years.

There are "Aux buttons" in the maker that go above the AC controls. It's possible, though I don't know how likely, that those could control the windows. I haven't seen much info on what they would control, exterior lights was the only thing mentioned.

I'm not sure what features the app would have that would be worth a specific subscription. Most things you'd want to do there are other, mostly free apps.

There are some optional buttons you can add in the maker, it's slightly possible some could be configured to control windows.

Whole different thing. The only time I roll down windows is to let out heat when it's hot and I've been parked in the sun. If the slate has preconditioning that may not be an issue, though more than keyfob range would be good, would be nice to have it start 5 minutes before I leave a store. If I...

If that's so, then I think they have probably been targeting roughly "Mid 20s" from the start, and 7500 off of that just conveniently landed somewhere under $20k, so $27,499 wasn't something slate had in mind at all.

This is part of the problem where everyone is looking real close at details at these events, These are basically hand built prototypes, and each one probably has differences, and none will match the final product.

Mythbusters did the car escape thing too.

While people who have sat in the truck have said they were comfortable, as I've said in other threads, Slate recently posting a job for a seat designer likely means the seats we are seeing are placeholders.

I thought I saw a post that the ford to be announced will be a mid sized truck, larger than the maverick.

Does a car trunk have a prop bar? I figure that is why no prop bar, this is storage, not just repair and maintenance access, it's more steps if you've got to put up the bar to load your groceries in it.

I need to research chargers, but I intend to install one. I'd like to be able to charge only when rates are lowest, and just fast enough to finish while rates are lowest.

Yes when the incentive was possible, slate stated under 20k after incentive, and it's simple math to say 20k+7.5k = 27.5k Slate made no other statements at the time on price. Since the incentives were cancelled, Slate has only stated "mid 20s" and that they were going to try to keep it as low as...

Sure extended battery means higher resale value, but it's not likely to be 4k higher value, and many of us probably intend to drive it a long time.
