Will SLATE come with or offer a receiver hitch, or will it just use a hitch ball attached to the bumper?

Has anyone been able to get an estimate of insurance on a SLATE, or it still too early? Maybe after price announcement today?

I have owned 43 cars and trucks. I like ‘em. I walk 10,000 steps/day too. I’m 80 years old, set in my ways I suppose.

Never heard of a four door Mustang until the Mustang MachE electric. As for Uber, what a travesty for a young person growing up not to experience the freedom of being able to drive. Some of my fondest memories involved the freedom of having my first car.This might work in San Francisco or New...

Subaru Brat had 2 jump seats with grab handles mounted in the bed.

Subaru Brat comes to mind.

Everyone is trying to make this into another pickup, SUV, family car when the first use that comes to mind to me is it’s an ideal student vehicle. Low Cost EV Easily Replaceable Easily Customizeable 2 Passenger Short Range Easy Damage Repair Meanwhile you stlll have an economical little truck...

I’ll always remember riding in my uncle’s 1956 F100. It was pretty much a basic short bed F100. It didn’t even have a headliner. Actual dimensions were probably similar to a Slate. We loved it and thought it was the way all pickups should be.

As for those who thinks nobody wants a standard cab, standard cab pickups were all there was for over 50 years. Now people want what their neighbor has, a 19+ foot long hard to park behemoth. Look at all of the crew cabs on the road and count the people in them. People are using them as cars...

I’m hoping they stick with a basic truck, don’t get money hungry and start adding a lot of fancy, unnecessary stuff and run the price up. They can always sell options and accessories online to be installed by the owner. Keep Amazon busy.

If this thing is as big of a hit as most of us think it will be, locking in an important date 23 months in advance may not be as dumb as it sounds.

It will be a birthday gift for a new driver!

If I preorder can I choose a date in 2028 for delivery?

There you go. You just added $5,000 to the cost.

I like idea of a 2 seat truck for my son. He won’t be filling it up with friends that I would be somewhat responsible for.

That’s the way startup car companies operated in the pre WWII DAYS. So it stands to reason that a pretty basic new vehicle today produced by a new car company would operate the same way.

New auto makers in this country have a terrible record of being successful. Competing with established car companies in the long haul has been almost impossible.

No I view this thing as a somewhat complex golf cart. Now that may be an over simplification, but making it simple and inexpensive is the key to it being a success. The more options, mods, and luxury amenities it gets, the more complicated and expensive. If it costs as much as other small...

No engine, no transmission, no exhaust system, bare bones interior, few fit and finish issues, very few electrical gizmos, no paint, no trim, etc. Seems they could crank ‘em out pretty fast once they get the hang of it.
