    Double DIN radio compatible - questions

    Reference? The only reference I've see to DIN was in the recent video where she said "the design of the central storage area fits for a single DIN".

    Destination and Documentation Fees

    TL;DR: Try the AI bots at DuckDuckGo and Brave Search using this query: [your state] new vehicle license and registration cost for 27500 $1087 is not correct for AZ. Arizona's formula for VLT is MSRP x 60% x .028 so 27,500 x 60% x .028 = $462 For AZ there are online calculators here and...

    Which generation will be the biggest owners of Slates?

    Full automation will, or at least should, never be allowed to happen because Americans who want to retain their personal freedom and agency will want to retain their transportation independence accordingly. Reliance on the machines is one aspect. Mandatory reliance upon the people who own and...

    Reusing and recycling accessories

    OK we just disagree about whether take-off parts that have been briefly used, removed, and shipped back to the factory are still factory-new.

    I found an interview of Jeff Jablansky, Slate Auto's head of Public Relations and Communications. First ~23 minutes are the interview.

    The Datsun Pickup had those. They were useful.

    It uses the built-in screen on the dash.

    Need FM Radio

    Speakers can be "small and mighty", but it's not easy to accomplish and certainly not a given that Slate Auto will accomplish it. An innovative company called Vanatoo makes a big-sounding small set of high-fidelity speakers with sound that belies their diminutive size, including having bass...

    Tonneau Cover: Simple & Stylish

    Locked Vortex Flow! Everyone wants locked vortex flow. ;) I think a tonneau cover does improve fuel economy compared to an open bed. The net efficiency gain (or loss) is speed-dependent. For instance, one study indicated that a covered bed could improve highway fuel economy by nearly 10...

    Article: Slate grows to 250 employees with aggressive hiring. 90 more being hired.

    Design. Edit: They have a design studio in Long Beach that plays a role in the development of their vehicles.

    Which generation will be the biggest owners of Slates?

    In Chris Barman's interview with the girly-men in baseball jersies she had a useful insight. I think the theme and the thread that runs through that is like there's a feeling of independence and a feeling of freedom once you get that first vehicle and you can start to drive. And I think even...

    What do you expect the factory to do with the slightly-used take-offs?

    Pickup Bed Tie-Downs

    Nissan has a pretty good system called Utili-Track. [T]he Utili-Track system is not limited to just tie-downs; it can also accommodate other accessories like bed extenders, hold-down eyes, and even specialized cargo management systems, making it a versatile solution for various cargo securing...

    Destination and Documentation Fees

    I doubt Slate will do the loan servicing themselves. There are companies that specialize in servicing auto loans. Edit: Speculating here (I know, right?).. When someone finances a vehicle a collateralized Promissory Note is created. That note can be sold. I would guess that Slate Automotive...

    Destination and Documentation Fees

    Some people who want an SUV Kit may benefit from buying it separately. By buying the kit after-the-fact, or otherwise separately, the SUV Kit won't be part of the MSRP that's used to calculate Vehicle License Tax (or whatever else is based on MSRP where you live).

    Need FM Radio

    I think the disadvantage with the placement they're showing is that the driver or passenger won't hear both speakers equally the way you do with your near-field stereo desktop setup. The driver will mostly hear the left speaker and passenger will mostly hear the right one.

    Destination and Documentation Fees

    I found title and registration by searching multiple places. The best result (YMMV) was from a Brave search for: Arizona new vehicle license and registration cost for 27500 MSRP + Sales Tax + License & Registration + ? = OTD Sales tax here is 9.1%, so for $27,500 it's $27,500 + $2,502.50 +...

    Destination and Documentation Fees

    TL;DR: The question is: What should we expect Destination (a.k.a Delivery) and Documentation fees to be? If you expect other mandatory fees, what are they? I'm asking about this because I got curious what my out-the-door price for a Slate Truck might be, and there's a big Question Mark where...
