    New Toyota Hilux: This Is Toyota's First Electric Pickup Truck

    Sadly, I think many interpret that to mean they can cross anywhere and don’t even have to look, just step out and go. as a driver I can surely respect a crosswalk, so should pedestrian.

    The Hypothetical Vehicle I Would Chose Over The Slate

    About a year ago, a friend suggested I try Perplexity as he was impressed. At the time I was having challenges with my tractor. It had spent6 weeks back at dealer where tech couldn’t replicate problem, overall a frustrating mess. So I figured I’d try Perplexity, nothing to lose right. started...

    Plywood 4x8 fit / loaded into Slate truck bed (video)

    At this point those little video do serve a purpose, just a low cost way to continue interest.

    Global EV battery oversupply could help Slate get better batteries deal

    Perhaps a change of thought, 240m battery = Standard, 150m battery = economy option. but then I might have to reevaluate.

    Received my gift in mail from Slate Auto - concept sketch

    I didn’t one either, even though when queried Slate said they were still sending them out. I was a day 2 reservation, so kinda stings, someone deprioritized me.

    Slate SUV kit (rear window open) on display in Sacramento

    Thanks, totally agree. If Slate does not make this available, then I will be forced to await a 3rd party topper vs over paying for parts I neither want nor need. More than likely, any reduction to the total SUV price will tempt me to look other accessories. Hopefully, someone at Slate is...

    What level of DIY are you planning for your Slate?

    Yup, but paint removal no where near that easy.

    Slate SUV kit (rear window open) on display in Sacramento

    Apparently, still much to be resolved. got this yesterday Hi David, Love the questions, and I can tell you’ve really been thinking through how to make your Slate your own (the topper setup sounds great). The SUV and Cargo Kits are designed to serve different needs, the SUV adds enclosed...

    What's the craziest modification you're actually considering for your slate

    Installed a $50 single din unit from Amazon in my new tractor yesterday. Would seriously consider adding same to my Slate.

    Slate announces Tesla supercharger access + 4,000 service / repair shops RepairPal partnership!

    Agreed, prefer the non seat/rollbar option and hope keeping the lower midgate is an option (help keep my dogs in the back) Locally, apu with bed topper is quite common, suspect Slate sees that as an option. If I can’t get the SUV topper without seat& roller ball for reasonable $$, then waiting...

    What level of DIY are you planning for your Slate?

    I’ve never done a wrap, but if we are concerned people can’t or won’t do a good job, I’m afraid to think how they would botch a paint job. I suspect removing a bad vinyl will be far easier than removing a bad paint job.

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    LOL, currently I’d have to load vehicle on a boat to Honolulu to find a Tesla charger. Probably neither cost effective nor convenient.

    Slate announces Tesla supercharger access + 4,000 service / repair shops RepairPal partnership!

    Gosh, I really need to work on my being always right skills - so lacking… My take - the predominate buyer is for a small, 2 door, EV, TRUCK, other considerations are less important to most, but vary. Will I add the SUV top? Yes. Just like I’ve added a Leer topper to my last 4 trucks. Will I...

    Slate announces Tesla supercharger access + 4,000 service / repair shops RepairPal partnership!

    Hoping the full on SUV is closer to $3500 vs $5000 and further reduced maybe 1/3 to 1/2 (or more) without rollbar and seats. Pretty much decided I can survive nicely with standard battery, but would keep an open mind as to a new alternative.

    What level of DIY are you planning for your Slate?

    Maintenance, like brakes, I’d use a service. Accessories, DYI. Once the SUV mod was in place, it would stay, but I’m enthusiastic about that removable roof panel.
