Go Boilermakers!

My fastest Carr was a ‘74 LeMans with a Pontiac 400 in it and I don’t think it was as fast as they say the Slate will be off the blocks. I’m usually the fastest car on the highway around Seattle in my ‘08 Prius so maybe I just don’t understand how nuts people must be in other cities. 0-60 in 8...

I hope you’re right @Dorbiman. I can only find the electric window upgrade on the Slate maker and I wouldn’t trust it to be accurate.

From what I’ve seen, you’ll be leaning over to push the passenger side button to roll the electric windows up/down. It looks like the “upgrade” just adds a motor and button where the crank was. I haven’t heard anything about the passenger side being controlled on the driver side. Could be wrong...

Folks could have gotten a Studebaker EV in 1902: Studebaker hated gasoline autos because they were “smelly and noisy,” and resisted going with petrol until the market settled on it. This one could go 80 miles on a charge. Imagine where we’d be now if this idea won out.

New content as promised. Way to go @EverythingSlate Looking forward to the next one!

Looks like the Slate has slots where you can fit in boards to allow sheets of plywood/drywall to lay flat above the wheel wells. Photo credit @jwocky The wheel wells are tall enough that you’ll be going over the sides after a half dozen or so sheets so strap tie downs would be appreciated...

The clamps were there to keep people from closing the hood onto other people’s fingers. Doesn’t answer the question about struts vs prop bar, and I didn’t actually think to ask.

Yup. Asked the same question at the Seattle event. People were slamming doors and tailgate so I’m sure they would have done the same to the hood.

There’s a thread in here with a professor explaining EV charging that makes me happy to level 1 charge. Basically, the slower, the better and if 20-80% is good, 40-60% is even better. Number of times on the charger is less important than keeping it in the middle. I’ll only be driving 20 miles a...

On sale for $92 lol. I’ll wait for the Hot Wheels.

Or in NYC.

Tactical pen? That has to be different than I’m picturing.

I know it’s not a knob, but will the optional steering wheel controls do volume? Edit: I’m sorry I haven’t done the research, but I figured there would be head units out there that this can communicate with.

What’s next? I figured my 2008 Prius would be the last car I’d ever buy, and my ‘74 GMC K1500 could keep going forever so long as our future turns into a Mad Max scenario. But the Slate got my attention because realistically, an EV without all the gizmos and safety mandated add-ons will get me...

This:

To me that just looks like perspective. First picture has good vanishing point on the left but I didn’t get the straightedge out to measure proportions.

Once they sent out the .stl files for the statelets, I assumed the other 749 parts were coming soon. :p

Street legal! Somehow. I wonder how this works with pre-production prototypes. Don’t you have to have a VIN to get plates?
