    Slate will manufacture its seats in house at Warsaw factory

    LOL, nope, The only electric line in our neighborhood runs cross country to the cell tower and FAA station. A handful of houses are close enough to tap in. The rest of us are ag acreage, mostly 20 acre former sugar plantation land. When we bought the options were to extend the line from...

    Not great detail in the available pics, but to me it appears the rear window portion moves to rear of the square back version and that frame work replaced by the topper. Unclear what happens to the lower panel, ideally optional to leave in place or remove. If removed I’d have to find another...

    AM radio, memory lane. That’ all I remember going up. Local stations. But at night, sometimes the world would open up.

    Wow, never heard that one before. Not talking about the lost in the wild, no contact off grid, isolation, just no wired/hard connected services like electric, water, sewer, phone, cable, etc. trust me, if you were to research we would be termed off grid.

    And that is why the SUV with seat requires the Rollbar. no seat, no rollbar, leave lower panel in place

    Possibly something that gets a closer look? Wonder if more than 1 assembly line?

    Without the additional seat I see no need to remove that lower portion. Only window needs to open, removal OK, doubt it is structural. Would actually prefer lower panel stays in. pickup with a topper, not a van. Rollbar likely required for addition passenger safety, not needed with a topper.

    Funny the perception that red = anti EV, no, more accurate might be red = anti EV mandate, very different. I also would not label myself as Green, but I’ve been living totally off grid 20 years, truly offgrid, not the grid tied make believes, that tout their greenness.

    So I’m plotting to assign my current 11 inch ipad to my Slate, then I will ā€œneedā€ to replace with a new one. I think the wife will agree to that. 😁😁

    Sound bar - factory mounting location under dashboard

    I’m hoping for a convenient place to stow my ipad. Remove from mount, slip into pouch or something behind or under drivers seat, somewhere out of sight. so can just anyone get into a properly locked ipad?

    Will you have self control when choosing add-ons?

    Have had similar thought. Don’t expect to take it off often. My challenge so far is how to manage with the overhead door.

    Don’t have a link, but I recall heating or reading where blank Slates would come off the line and then a post production area. What wasn’t addressed was how complete off the line nor how much at post production. I can envision that yes, 100% blank Slates roll off ready to ship while others are...

    Slate Tour Events - Locations / Dates

    Guess it could be a trade off resources vs benefit. At this point I think most of the people that showed up would have rather specific questions requiring a very knowledgeable presenter, not just a personality with a pretty face. Any physical or verbiage presentation would be highly analyzed...

    I’m looking forward to the possibility that if needed to roof panel or whole thing could be removed and then reinstalled say if additional height is needed.
