I don't see much difference between this configuration and a front-wheel drive, but that's just me.

Now I gotta go look up that super awesome front bumper in the Slate maker... 🤘 It just keeps getting better!

How does regenerative braking produce any more increased wear on the tire than using regular brakes?

Ran when parked! lol Forget wraps, we need more discussion about this funky van. Unless someone wants to duplicate those awesome Keep On Truckin' graphics!

Some interesting speculations in this thread. It often seems to me that these executives ride a merry-go-round from one business to another! Or Faricy was at home, sitting on the couch waiting for the phone to ring... Either way, I wish them all success. :like: Next step - Slate University...

It was the Sandy Munro video where Chris Barman claims to be employee #2 (about a minute in.) I couldn't find any reports that showed Rod Copes was ever CEO. Slate Confirms $700 Million in Funding, Bezos Investment Let us know if you have a link to info that says otherwise.

I understand you might not intend it this way, but it sounds unnecessarily harsh. It's easy to speculate the reasons for this change in management. Personally, I suspect the current military action against Iran and its impact on the economy plays a role. But in the end, the decision belongs...

When was Chris Barman hired? I thought she claimed to be employee #1 or #2 in some video presentation.

But will the delivery fee be waived for Prime members?

Hello bob - I see this is your first post here. Have you driven an electric vehicle? If not I highly recommend at least a test drive.

Hey Bryan, did you wind up getting hired at Slate? I notice you had mentioned wanting to work for Slate. How's that going?

It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison. Just looking at wheelbase measurements, the Slate claims 2,766 mm (108.9 in) and the first two generations of the Toyota TUV were 2,500 mm (98.4 in), so a little shorter. Interestingly, the Toyota was also initially sold as a pickup only:

Someone here is really fond of this Scout… 🥰

Waiting for the Slate to make it to production lol

That's pretty sweet! There's so many ways to go here. Stuff like this has to be the reason why Slate won't even bother!

Without getting into a big argument over vehicle weight, here are some AI results on the matter: 3,600 x 1.5 = 5,400. The Model 3 falls far short.

But it's wrong! EVs are not twice as heavy. Unless you're trolling, then ha ha.

But EVs have no engine, transmission, exhaust, etc. so the weight of the battery doesn't have as great an impact as many are led to believe. For an experiment, compare the weight of any given electric vehicle with a comparably equipped car with an internal combustion engine. Be sure to match...

...And the Slate has the steering wheel on the left side! That and it has a crumple zone in front of the occupants. I believe there is a reason why cab-forward designs faded out in the 1960s here stateside.

I'm not familiar with the abbreviation NGP so I had to look it up. Is this what you mean? Should You Be Using No-Ground Equipment? (sorry for the pop-up ads - it was my first search result.) Also, is Citizen's Band still very active these days? These compact & handheld CB transceivers look...
