    Chargeway - the app you'll need

    Oh thanks, I was using voice to text and didn't notice using the wrong word. And I said that because he very directly said it would be plug and charge. You're saying it won't be, so if I'm to believe you, that makes him either lying or very mistaken.

    Seattle Space Needle event - Slate truck photos, impressions, answers

    Alot of the internal dash parts look to be 3d printed, so definitely a prototype.

    Guess the head engineer is a liar then. Lol

    Chargeway - the app you'll need

    Just thought I'd add to this thread that it has been confirmed that Slate will be plug and charge with Tesla. Meaning that all you have to do is plug the car in and it will start charging and will charge your card when you're done, all automatically.

    PSA: Extended Range Battery can NOT be added / retrofit installed after purchase (confirmed by Slate)

    That's not going to stop me from buying one from a salvage yard and installing it myself. Haha

    I'm confused, what does painting over it accomplish? I understand not wanting to use it, my parents don't use the backup camera when they borrow my car, it's just there and they don't use it. Slate implementation of it on the small screen is probably the least intrusive way of doing it. The...

    Aptera-style solar panels in SUV option.

    Would be cool if they made a bifacial solar "moon roof" that replaces the removable top on the SUV topper. Would let some defused light into the back seats and can add some power.

    Article: Slate Auto CEO Chris Barman tells us how exactly it’s making a $25,000 EV

    I think I can help some with this question. It's the paint. Painting the plastic panels cost more than painting metal. The composite panels aren't any cheaper, but they don't need to be painted or coated. The Fiero is known for being difficult to paint if you don't know what your doing because...

    It is in-fact being built in the US, they have a factory in Michigan if I remember correctly.

    Will Slate provide an AWD Retrofit Kit for the OG Slate Truck?

    Watching the Munro video it seems like the front suspension has the space for the CV shafts, and they have a void under the frunk that everything seems to go around or over. The wheel hubs do lack a spline, but they are simply bolted to the uprights. I think the platform is designed to have a...

    Pretty sure I found the motor they are using in the production car. It was mentioned in the latest Munro video. https://en.jjeglobal.com/product/68.html

    Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

    Things like "dog mode" would be completely software based and not something an average individual could add. I can't speak for everyone but most people on here asking for this or that aren't expecting it to be on the blank slate but are hoping that it will be an accessory or be a feature on the...

    Adding a screen for AA/Carplay is WAY cheaper than I thought it would be

    I'd imagine the aftermarket will have a panel for mounting, they already made custom panels for cars with far more complicated interiors.

    Rising used car prices is good news for Slate!

    The reason for this is three fold. 1. Since 1975 inflation, according to the federal government numbers, has gone up almost 500%. Many believe the true numbers are higher. 2. During the same time period emission/MPG regulations became more and more strict, leading to higher prices. 3. Cash for...

    Slate not likely to be a top safety pick by Consumer Reports (due to lack of BSW)

    I'm hoping it's at least an option. I'm pretty good at checking before changing lanes but we're all human and make mistakes. Something to warn me before I'm dumb.

    Slate portfolio speculation

    I'm hoping they make a stretched 4-door model; everything else is the same, but they add a middle section to the frame and two more doors. This would allow for parts commonality between 2- and 4-door models. Oh, and the 4-door truck could be converted to a 3-row SUV. Does anyone have the...
