    Slate Auto "Custom Garage" Public Event Coming on Oct. 16 in Detroit

    I'm thinking this was all about getting the content creators listed to create something about the slate, not showing to the public. I'll be watching their work to see if any do anything.

    Simple low-tech audio ideas

    I'm thinking, at least short term after I buy the slate, this tablet with line-out and a mini amp to two speakers either in-door or the slate ones that go behind the dash panels I'll use this while figuring out what exact components I want for a full double din mid-range installation with sub

    Slate Auto "Custom Garage" Public Event Coming on Oct. 16 in Detroit

    I hope there is a truck there, but please take many photos of all the stuff these people are making if it's for the truck, which I assume is the point of the show.

    Slate towing trailer (video) -- 104 degrees heat, 3500 ft grade

    Have fun doing the audio. It's easier than it seems. I've done so many in my life. First was a quadraphonic 8-track in a Ford Falcon. I've never done a double-din though. Looking forward to it.

    How and when did you hear about Slate?

    I was happy with my hybrid Mav. I bought it a year earlier because I was tired of waiting for ford to get off their skunkworks ass and give me what I wanted. I don't remember exactly how I came across it but I saw the video the day it came out. It was like the clouds parted and an angelic...

    OK, so this is dumb, but hear me out....

    Maybe molded in fender flares, or (lol) Hood Scoops! https://www.facebook.com/reel/941272087458500

    OK, so this is dumb, but hear me out....

    My sister had one of these in the early 70's. Yeah, this will be fun, with the occasional "what the hell were they thinking".

    Jeff Bezos's $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

    Agreed. I was just of the opinion that they will be playing catchup with demand instead of being disappointed in demand.

    Jeff Bezos's $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

    In 1969, a year where muscle cars and land yachts and station wagons ruled supreme and gas was cheap, the lowly beetle and it's offshoots sold over 400,000 vehicles in the U.S. The beetle alone was 370K. I think 100K slates a year is very conservative.

    New touring event dates are up on the Slate Events page!

    As much as I want to see them, I considered driving 10 hours to Nashville. But now that they won't let you sit in them I'm thinking I might as well wait till they start showing actual line produced trucks with the actual plastic panels and almost finalized design. Maybe they'll even let you...

    No southern states except for North Carolina, which is BARELY southern. They need to come to Austin or Dallas

    Can we get a Slate Blog on the Slate website please? We're starved for news.

    Just a little weekly post from P.R. listing any interviews done, stuff coming up, or progress on the plant. Or just shoutouts from the employees. Any info would be appreciated no matter how small. Slate is already the most transparent company out there. This would only make it more so. Old...

    Could Tesla Make A Slate Competitor with A Slight Form Factor Change to the Cybercab?

    I give Musk full credit and admiration for developing evs that a lot of people love to own. I drive 13 miles through Frisco, McKinney and Plano Texas once a week and I play the "count the Teslas" game. I stopped playing when my count got over 30 per trip. I was dead set on buying a model 3...

    Slate Autocross Eligibility

    I autocrossed my Solstice, (badly), for 3 years back in my 50's. Here I am in my Spaceballs helmet.

    CNBC Video: Slate has struck a nerve with the industry and consumers, says Former Ford CEO Mark Fields

    And the Ford Maverick and the Pinto had the same taillights. Don't remember which came first.

    Slate or Datsun

    I think they look a lot like my 84 Mazda SE-5 except for the round headlights. I plan on finding white spokers if possible.

    TFL Truck Video: EV Trucks Are DEAD. (& Their Take on Slate)

    Maybe it's my generation, but if our first car was a passed down family four-door, it was a "drive of shame" going to school every morning. NOBODY wanted to be seen driving a four-door. At one point I got the family 67 Falcon Futura 4door with 3 on the tree. In an act of desperation, I put...

    TFL Truck Video: EV Trucks Are DEAD. (& Their Take on Slate)

    I'm so tired of everyone thinking that having 2 doors will kill sales. I've never been more confident that Slates will sell like cups of water in hell. Hoping for an ipo so I can buy in.
