  1. New Information / Updates request

    I'm going to put it out there that the base model be priced at $23,499, and the extended battery be priced at $26,499. And please make the SUV+seats and Fastback+seats at $3,499. That would be ~$26,998 for the base with SUV, and ~$29,998. Still fits the “Mid $20s” and keeps even the price under...

  2. New battery technology

    Not sure if that’s possible unless Slate breaks their agreement with SK On. From what I remember reading, Slate and SK On have a contract from 2026 to 2031. Supplying 20GWh battery capacity for ~300,000 vehicles...

  3. Articles and Videos of Interest That Don't Merit Their Own Threads

    Almost didn’t want to give the time of day, but thought it was worth a read to get a view on the perspectives of others. At the end of the day, I think there are a lot of things that are done right so far with Slate. Before the idea of the Slate Truck, I didn’t even consider EVs. I was looking...

  5. How well is Slate Auto known outside this community?

    My older sibling who’s somewhat of a car guy called it the Amazon Truck. So SEO is working on folks who aren’t super interested in the Truck. But vaguely aware of its existence.

  6. Slate URLs that direct to slate.auto/

    Yes, I was thinking that too! at least for now they are re-directing to slate.auto contact info and related links. But who knows in the future.

  7. Slate URLs that direct to slate.auto/

    Just found this interesting when I stumbled upon this slateevtruck.com website and was wondering when it was registered. Checked a free age domain checker and the site was registered in April this year. slateevtruck.com/ - registered 4/28/2025 ~3 months ago. This site doesn’t seem directly...

  8. Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    Just for fun, and because we know the Slate team scours the forums too. ;) I'm going to put it out there that the base model be priced at $23,499, and the extended battery be priced at $26,499. And please make the SUV+seats and Fastback+seats at $3,499. That would be ~$26,998 for the base with...

  9. Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    That’s my concern as well for the accessories. Even though Slate doesn’t have “Trims” aside from the Base and Extended battery, the accessories if they are on the high end will be a detractor for purchase. I’m considering extended battery, SUV + seats out the door. And center console and...

  10. Video walkthrough from MotorTrend on the Slate Open Air kit

    I agree, hoping Slate just continues to focus on the core accessories and let the market come up with the rest. Maybe Slate could work with the established manufactures that already make these canopies for other vehicles, like they are working with wrap companies for their decals and wraps.

  11. Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    At least from Slate, it is sadly from them being vague on price. From reporters and journalists, they’ve been relying on the “It’s in the low $20k after incentive” from April; so folks go off that and now that the EV Tax credit is gone, the math is $20k + $7,500 = $27,500. Until the price is...

  12. Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    From what I’ve watched and read, there hasn’t been a price announced outside of the initial “Under $20ks” before the announcement of OBBB, and after the bill, the CEO mentioning “Mid-$20ks”. Even with the interviews who mention $25k, the CEO doesn’t directly answer. Even the one with...

  13. Video walkthrough from MotorTrend on the Slate Open Air kit

    Yeah, looks like it’s for kids. The host said legroom looks decent and was fine, but she’s 5’3, so YMMV. I’m 5’10” and a wide guy and my Honda Fit rear seats are more comfortable than my spouses Subaru Crosstrek. Then again, I don’t sit in the rear seats very often.

  14. Video walkthrough from MotorTrend on the Slate Open Air kit

    The host (Kristen Lee) from MotorTrend Channel had questions about the panels being easily stolen, no official answer. She mentioned that the first video they posted that the host Alex was 6’10” and she is 5’3” The wrap was poorly installed, she mentioned it was prototype. I bet my self install...

  15. Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    I’d watched and read a few videos and interviews. Even the one with Sherwood.news reporter asking about the $25k price, but CEO Chris never confirmed or denied the $25k and just reiterated that cars are too expensive...

  16. Body Panel Swap Potential

    Was thinking would be fun to have decals like the old Baja Bandit I had in the 90s, and flare out the fenders

  17. Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    June 6th ad about Slate in Open Air Mode this video had some good shots of open air mode with the gear inside the back area.

  18. Double DIN radio compatible - questions

    I had a Sony unit in my Honda Fit and also installed in my spouses Toyota Corolla. Sony XAV-AX100. Mine had a real knob for volume vs the buttons or touch volume that some cars and head units went to.

  19. Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    Nice blue wrap with the open air kit and seats installed. Looks like the person could not go into this unit, but the Boston event would have a unit that folks can get into. Photos:

  20. Double DIN radio compatible - questions

    In the Rich Rebuilds video, he was talking to Slate Accessory manager Jordan, and one of the renders showed a Sony CarPlay render above and slightly offset from the AC controls, taking the center space location.
