Which past vehicle's reservation history are you comparing with? Was that a $50 refundable "reservation" or a non-refundable "deposit"?

Careful now, if you take a close look at this portion of the picture there's a critical detail you may have missed:

If you want to keep your crush a secret, be sure not to set your desktop background to this gorgeous high-resolution, low-angle photo of the Slate SUV in Atomic Teal with Chris posed in front of it: https://assets.newsweek.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/AUTO01_Visionary_01_Chris-For-NW-4.jpg

Just wanted to bump the thread with this gorgeous image of Chris with what I believe to be an Atomic Teal Slate SUV: I still want an affordable, repairable, utilitarian vehicle with good efficiency, and I'll be content with a grey Blank Slate (maybe a DIY wrap job), base pickup body...

Just got the above email, but in a quick perusal (I'm on my phone and, as a millennial, am incapable of doing computer work with a touchscreen) I did not see many new colors or accessories. There is a "Max Kolo" orange checkered graphic wrap in the featured section that I didn't recognize, but...

Excellent shot! Crawling under the truck and checking out this part of the frame is one of the reasons I'm hoping to see it in person. I also found these images from TheAutopian's suspension article from last year: I imagine fabricating some complicated frame sleeves/boxes/braces to...

Yeah, you're definitely not the audience. It's people like "ezjob" in this thread: https://www.slateforums.com/forum/threads/charging-stations-are-an-issue-in-many-cities.14796/#post-228268 who are clearly struggling with EV education and don't understand what charging is really like. It...

It's not the aero power limit, at least not in the short term. Other vehicles that have the same amount of power as a Slate (and slower acceleration due to pauses for gearboxes and narrow ICE power bands) include the 155 MPH, 200 HP Ford Fiesta ST, the 137 MPH, 205 HP Honda Civic SI, and the 145...

Here's their current jobs page if anyone else is interested: https://recar.wd108.myworkdayjobs.com/SLATEcareers The article discusses future hiring over the next 5 years for accounting purposes, but they've got a lot of roles available right now. Here's the current list for positions in Troy...

The 1000 lbs towing capacity is really bad for a supposed "truck". It's not a dealbreaker for me because I live in a state (and a country) where inspections aren't mandatory. I intend to weld on a class 3 receiver hitch, beef up the rear frame rails, add a couple airbags, upgrade the radiator...

Reservation by date chart isn't working for me either. If you had 792 random samples of the 150,000, that would absolutely be statistically enough to draw conclusions on. Basic questions like the ratio of extended range to standard battery, ratio of pickup body to SUV to fastback, or the...

I continued working and had my local Qwen LLM (ugh, I know, sorry, but at least it's not some cloud tool) write me a few Python scripts. With that, I concluded that Slate has about 75% of the 3M PWF line, a little over 50% of the 3M 2080 line, and 32% of the Avery Dennison Supreme line of...

I was going to chime in after looking at that PDF that the atomic teal is gorgeous. I also like the sky blue, key west, citric acid, liquid copper, firey orange, even flip electric coral if I'm feeling brave. Utilitarian gray is fine too, but if I'm going to add color it will not be gray, black...

I'm planning on a slightly better build with an upgraded heat exchanger, electric brake controller, airbags on the rear axle, and - most importantly - an upgraded weldment to the rear subframe to which I can bolt up a universal class 2 receiver. It'll be used mostly to pull my ~750 lbs empty...

No shame! You're not weak, you have a different commute and a different exercise history. National Bike To Work Day is next week Friday the 15th: https://bikeleague.org/events/bike-month/dates-events/ Try it!

A coworker recently bought an Audi Q3 Quattro with the ambient light package: https://www.audi.ie/en/customer-area/explanatory-videos/layer/q3-ambient-light/ There are RGB LED strips *everywhere*. Little seat trims and foot wells and cupholders and door handles and pockets and armrests and...

I think the Chevy Bolt is the closest thing to a Slate on the market right now. Overly computerized, with OnStar spyware, and a 4-door hatchback rather than a 2-door truck/SUV, but it's close. Personally, I'm cycling to work (broke down and drove the old rust bucket ICE 12 days this year), and...

My old 1993 Ford Ranger with the 2.3L 4-cylinder (98 HP when new, maybe 80 after 245,000 miles) and its 5-speed manual could do 0-70 in 28 seconds. 0-60 was a good deal faster, but 70 was near the aerodynamic limit (unachievable on an uphill or in a headwind). Cars that made under 100...

Makes me want to get a few sample colors, and practice wrapping something! I'm a bit surprised that they're going with name-brand 3M vinyl, is that really the most affordable and durable option?

I'm following you here, without taking a good/bad political position and just analyzing the polls/sentiments I think there's a significant chance that the midterms will represent a party change. No longer following you. I'll research the position after the election and see if anything's in...
