Good to know. I didn't realize HF had good/better/best for cargo bars.

This. And now I can't get the image out of my head. Also, onboard chargers for Bauer and Hercules batteries.

Better yet: Harbor Freight. They have an extensive reach with their brick-and-mortar stores. They are a hit with value-focused tradespeople. Their well into their transition from cheap Chinese import and essentially disposable tools to a good/better/best market coverage. Their ICON brand is...

Interesting. A vehicle is an order of magnitude more complicated with higher liability, regulation, etc. compared to a power tool, but the Slate is way less complicated than just about any other vehicle. If my assumptions about fleet sales prove out, Slate will have an in with lots of folks in...

Are there companies who make vehicles that are focused on fleet sales instead of consumer? Right from the beginning, I have assumed that fleet sales would make up a significant part of Slate sales. If you have a small business with a couple of vehicles that your techs and sales folks drive to...

Specifically, this. The range (45 in. to 114 in.) means it could be used front-to-back or side-to-side to keep cargo from sliding around. I have a set from a different manufacturer that I suspect are a lot stronger but also a lot more expensive. I wouldn't leave those in the bed. These ones...

Very interesting. Never heard of the stuff, looks very useful as a raw material. Here is a 4x6' version that Tractor Supply sells. Other sizes available. I can imagine cutting out for the wheel wells from this size. If you want to do your own search, look for 'rubber stall mat'.

That is very helpful info. Thanks.

True dat. I'm going to hardwire via a new 60A breaker.

Has Slate or anyone else stated how long of a 5' wide roll will be required to do a complete wrap?

Good point. I'm a customer of Dominion Energy in Virginia. Turns out they have a similar program, although not as generous in the long term as yours. They offer a $125 rebate if I purchase a ChargePoint, Emporia, or Wallbox. After that, it's $40 credit per year to give them control over charge...

That's all true. I want the additional speed that comes from a level 2 charger. Also, I don't know whether the bare-bones unit that comes with the vehicle has the ability to limit the charge. All the aftermarket level 2 chargers I'm looking at give you the option to terminate charge at 80%, for...

Did not know this. Looks like they're using OCPP 1.6J (Open Charge Point Protocol) open-source communication standard. So we have open-source communication protocol, rugged and minimalist design, and made in Canada. Gotta say I'm leaning Grizzl-E at this point.

This. With no irony.

Are those the recesses in the sides at the level of top of the wheel wells?

Assuming I convert my reservation into a purchase, this will be my first pickup. I'm a suburban homeowner who likes to do my own build/repair projects. Being able to move lumber, plywood, and drywall without hoisting things onto the roof rack of my Outback is something I'm looking forward to. I...

Assuming I end up converting my reservation into a purchase, I will be installing a level 2 home charger. I'll do the install myself. Based on a quick search, I'm interested in the hardwire/NACS version of the Emporia unit. I'd be grateful for the insights of anyone with experience with this...

I agree with this entire statement.

I was going through the same thought process, but I really don't know how vigorously the vinyl adheres to the underlying substrate. I suppose passing air pulling at the molding would essentially be trying to lift the vinyl whenever you're moving. Applying the molding first then trimming the...
