    Is there official word on where Slate stands on "Right to Repair"?

    I have a fairly big imagination. Hope some great energy storage devices get made soon.

    Deep dive article: 70+ Slate prototypes built already -- "Inside the stealth production facility"

    I only use my phone. Do not own and will not buy a vehicle that has an integrated screen. We are out there.

    Lowered Slate pickup truck in motion - animated preview video

    By that definition my 1990s 4 x 4 Toyota was not a real truck. I hauled a lot of stuff, towed a few things, drove all over the desert/mountains and generally beat the snot out of it for five years. I call it a real truck. My still useful 2001 GMC 2500 HD with an 8.1 L V8 and Alison...

    This is the small truck Tesla should have produced...

    Dealers are known to list bait and switch pricing. I tried looking for a 2014-17 Audi A4 a couple months ago on some of the common sites. Every one I tried to contact told me ā€œno longer available, but we have X.ā€ I no longer trust not just low but even reasonable advertised prices from dealers...

    ā€œDozens of prototypesā€. Hadn’t heard a number that high yet.

    Tesla Supercharging ?

    ā€œI am confusedā€ Doc Hudson. As non-EV owner, I do not understand how it would be different than pulling up to a gas pump?

    Another EV truck company goes down - Bollinger

    My 2001 GMC 2500hd 8’ bed extended cab (half suicide door) is 23’. Maybe the hood on the GMC is longer to make room for the 8.1l. Bollinger just looks longer. I am sure 4 door 8’ bed Ford/Chevrolet are pushing 24’

    Tall driver (6'10") in Motortrend's Slate review

    I remember the crank windows in my Toyota pickup going the same direction as the Slate. When crank arm is pointed aft up means up on window.

    Just got this email from Slate: SIGNED. SEALED. DELIVERED?

    Hmn. šŸ¤”I have a reservation but didn’t get an email. My address was already in my profile. I might get in trouble if surprise merch shows up. Wife thinking I was spending more money as a fan boy.

    MORE MERCH!!

    My savings budget for the truck is down $30 for a shirt. My wife called me a fan boy and I did not have any kind of reasonable argument to make. šŸ˜”

    Autosteer and Adaptive Cruise Control

    Right on. Good to see marketing replies sticking to Slate core principles.

    How Loooooooooooooooong is too long for a truck? Ridiculous looking and parking.

    Slate vs. Telo

    Indecision on what to make is a decision by default to make nothing.

    Autosteer and Adaptive Cruise Control

    It’s an entirely different level from bolting down seats, roll bar, and plugging in connectors for airbags to an autonomous vehicle system. Not even remotely comparable in technical expertise needed.

    Slate vs. Telo

    The Telo hitting the US market will fair just as well as it hitting a dodge Ram. DOA.

    Poll: Slate's second model - what do you think it will be?

    Other. Don’t care. šŸ˜€ Edit: not throwing hate at the question or what anyone else wants to speculate about. I think the current slate model fills an enormous gap in the market. Whatever else Slate might decide to make will be direct competitive with something else already out there. As others...

    It looks like SLATE has pathetic EV efficiency. (and a rant).

    This right here. I will not buy a skinny tired little car. The compromise toward efficiency is too far for me. I want a normal robust vehicle that happens to be an EV. Slate is the first one not junked up with extra stuff I don’t want and in a price range I am willing to pay.
