    Cargo Kit Option with Windows

    I have a 4 part partition/cage in our garage from our Ford Explorer we bought online and bolted together to fit the space. Good for bringing our Rhodesian Ridgeback in the car because he wanted to be lap dog at 110 lbs and with a 2 year old in a seat it was a no starter. One bonus about...

    How adventurous are you going to be orderiing your Slate?

    We shall see what this next year holds. Build and price makes a big difference. If base price stays low and add on bits do not nuke the deal I could be getting a lot of neat stuff. If I can buy it all in a crate and bolt it on in my driveway even better.. I thrive on busted knuckles.

    I would put my hitch platform on it to haul fuel cans to my boat and maybe camping gear if I can not cram it in the bed and Frunk.

    News: Slate exploring different battery supplier. SUV kit price to be $5000 range

    Total capacity does make a difference on charge time due to charge curve. Took a 330 mile trip in our EV rated at 230ish miles per charge. Stopped twice for 20 to 30 minutes each stop to get back to 80% and the curve drop. Wanting to get to the destination with enough to tool around town and...
