I'm referring to the in-dash ones. I just don't see how they're going to be connected to your phone in any other way than bluetooth unless they're going to do something with the USB mount. Slate's not really given us any info on those. I could have sworn in a really early video when they were...

Based on my talks with the staff at the events and from getting my question answered during the Q & A, there should be a least space in each door for a 6'' speaker. My truck has a pair of 4'' speakers integrated into the front bottoms of the dashboard and they sound terrible. I'm sure speaker...

There has been some discussion of it in various threads, ideally you could do a rear quarter mount like they do on some offroaders. The cubbies themselves should easily be deep enough for a single din sized unit.

Sub 25K, better to hope and then cope than to never have hope at all...

I love my Element, but IIRC that was just another case of the vehicle pricing out the target market. It's a shame but it's probably better that they discontinued it when they did. It had already lost the plastic side panels by '09 and I doubt all the things that made it uniquely Element (the...

Google decided to dump Gemini into Android Auto so I played with it a bit, I've got a videogame in early access on Steam and despite it having regular updates that are easily searchable for a year now, Google Gemini was more than happy to just hallucinate everything about it when asked LOL I...

Noticed this too, I remember at some point somebody was told that it'd be a carpeted interior only.

I think there's a quality and texture thing that comes with it. I've been in cars that feel 'plastickey.' Usually the plastic is thin and has some flex to it, a cheap hollow feeling. I've been in some all plastic interiors on older cars that are rock solid, just feels durable and doesn't have...

Depending on how the pickup cab lines up with the 'footwell' of the rear passenger area, that might also make for a great flush mount box spot.

One good thing that should at least alleviate one problem is that the "Tesla Plug" North American Charging Standard should be going into effect on all new cars from here on out, so hopefully everything will be on the same plug standard, or at least be retrofitted to have one. They should bundle...

Reading that immediately made me think of the internal design document that was leaked of the Honda Element For a car that ended up mostly being bought by older folks that liked it for easy access and hauling.

I'm all in on painting the Slate. A few body shop friends of mine who work in RV restoration and fiberglass work are chomping at the bit to try the composite panels. Should be the same amount of prep as any bumper skin.

As far as I know no reps officially post here but from talking to the staff at the Ft. Worth show, they DO read the forums here. They were pretty knowledgeable of the current threads and some of the more active users.

I hope that's not going to be the case, seeing as they are all identical off the line. I do remember when people were still waiting on their Cybertruck reservations while Shaq was having his second one delivered.

I think the biggest reason we haven't gotten many 'proper' ads is that Slate is using the prototype trucks for everything. They're being damaged from man-handling by people at the meet and greets, so I doubt they'd hold up to heavier truck commercial style usage. I bet once they get some fully...

Just last week the California DMV opted to start allowing Police to ticket self driving vehicle companies. Up until now... I guess they would just go "oh well" when it blocked an intersection or something...

I've been tempted to as they've come to Dallas, but I'd pretty much be down there in a car any time I am so I don't have much reason to other than for the novelty. One got itself in the news for running a red a few days ago. Edit: to save y'all the time:

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the vibration shaker and stuff is used for testing of specific parts. I've seen 70s Ford factory footage of them putting a dashboard assembly with a wheel on the table to see if it rattles to pieces. Edit:

I'm still on team "Slate makes a mini Nissan NV cargo you can stand in the back of" as their "van"

I don't trust AI with anything but I'd trust Weird Al with my life.
