  1. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    I got a few quotes for about 2K for a wired L2 charger (240v cable has to go all the way across the house). Right now Im using an L1 plugged into a regular outlet and it can just barely give a full charge to our PHEV (23Kwh). We have a space in our driveway that is right next to the main...
  2. PSA: Extended Range Battery can NOT be added / retrofit installed after purchase (confirmed by Slate)

    philosophically you might be against a gas generator, but the scout and ramcharger are coming with EREV. They use a gas engine to charge the battery. With a 10kw generator inverter you can use gas (or propane) to give yourself enough charge for the costco run.
  3. Will you have self control when choosing add-ons?

    i think i would take it stock and would leave it stock. Electric passenger side mirror would be the one option I might want if it is available. I dont need speakers and using my phone to nav is fine for me. I hate the brightness of giant screens in new cars when driving at night. If there is...
  4. Deep dive article: 70+ Slate prototypes built already -- "Inside the stealth production facility"

    I hate spending money on cars. A car is to get me from point a to point b. I also do a lot of dirty sports. Hunting (blood, fur), kitesurfing (salt/sand/water), mountain biking, camping. I never wash my truck because I like it dirty. It has scrapes and dings so I dont care if I get more scrapes...
  5. Small vs Large Trucks

    I have a 2010 tundra crewmax. Before that I had a 2000 tundra. I really wanted the 2010 tacoma because the tundra was now way too big. The tacoma was the same size as the old tundra but was in high demand because gas prices were skyrocketing. The tundra was actually cheaper because no one wanted...
  6. Suspension Poll: Lifted, Lowered, or Standard Height?

    i dont like scraping curbs or scraping the hitch when pulling out of steep driveways. If the ground clearance is 6 inches (some people reported this) then I would lift to 9. If the ground clearance is more like 11, then I wouldnt lift.
  7. Factory in Warsaw visit - photos and my interview with guard (June 4, 2025)

    drone flyovers are marketing for slate. They should encourage them.
  8. Poll: Slate's second model - what do you think it will be?

    I think the very next thing they will do is extend the cab to have the same second row of seats as the current SUV, but extend the bed. keep the wheelbase the same The seats already fit so it would just be a bed extension and a shorter cap --- Not a whole new vehicle, but an AWD option for sure.
  9. Slate pickup sighting in downtown Warsaw, IN! (w/ frunk, bed, charging port closeup)

    Everyone likes something different. I dont care about looks at all, so it would be fine for me. I usually pick silver because it doesnt show dirt and I rarely wash my truck. I wouldnt do a single thing for looks, only functionality. I happen to have a red truck right now because that was the...
