In my way of thinking none of us have. The prototypes are just models of what will actually be produced. I don't even think the body panels on those are made of the same material as production body panels will have.

On the five-wrench difficulty scale, I'd do - up to 🔧🔧🔧 for sure, - probably 🔧🔧🔧🔧, and - possibly 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧

If you remove the window from the rear of the cab and install a "regular bed topper" that seals to the cab you achieve what I'm looking for. This.

Not for me. I wouldn't buy a Chevrolet in general, and an Equinox in particular. For me two doors is a feature, not a bug. I also like the ability to easily convert to an Open Air configuration. Maybe having the ability to re-wrap every once in a while tickles someone's fancy. Maybe someone...

The one I installed on my '72 Datsun Pickup's roof was leak-free. Using a hacksaw to cut a hole into the roof of your vehicle is the kind of experience that builds character. 😉

Changing to another battery chemistry doesn't necessarily mean Slate needs to change suppliers. electrive: SK On to manufacture LFP battery cells

This. The bottom of the window appears to be below the top of the partition, at least in pictures we've seen so far Ability to open (or tilt-out, or easily remove) the rear window would be a great feature. Thread: Flip-Up Rear Window?

There are super-reliable and garbage vehicles of both types, yes, but that doesn't make the question bogus. Recent large studies have shown that recent-model ICEVs are more than twice as likely to break down and need roadside assistance compared to EVs. This means If all you know about a...

The new Leaf looks like it will be an attractive choice for people looking for a compact crossover transportation appliance. It could indeed be a sales hit. That said, I'm not the least bit interested in owning one.

They tested "lithium-ion cells (silicon oxide–graphite/nickel cobalt aluminium)". Is it safe to assume we'd see similar results from NMC cells.

Looks to me like it has 20-inch aftermarket wheels and no lift.

From the Philadelphia Zoo event:

There used to be cars that just had the basics. They sold well.

If someone expects their Truck to stay pristine they'll be disappointed. Thread: Embracing Visible Wear and Tear (Shark Battle Scars)

The time has long passed, @E90400K .

EVs are more reliable than ICEVs. See also: Basketball players are taller than baseball players.

It might be worth mentioning that Slate DIY work on the Slate Truck's battery is prohibited by design and company policy due to high-voltage safety risks and integration complexity. Fortunately the battery will be covered by an eight year / 100,000-mile warranty at minimum.

That image is just a rendering @zipn posted. It's a box you could install over the footwell at the front of the bed. https://www.slateforums.com/forum/threads/using-rear-footwell-space-for-spare-tire-storage-design-ideas.13434/

The data say ICEVs break down six times more frequently compared to EVs when you disregard the 12v battery and tire issues ICEVs and EVs have in common. Why?
