    THIS! is why I can't wait to swap my truck for a Slate: maintenance & service costs

    I got my first oil change and tire rotation 10 months ago at the dealership that sold me my Maverick Hybrid and they charged 150 bucks including full synthetic. Didn't like the price and I'd do it myself but I like to get the first oil changes at the dealer just in case the engine craps out so...

    Another day, another influencer. Kim Java

    We knew this day was coming. She does seem to be pretty thorough but I'm going out with the wife tonight so I'll leave it up to you guys to see if there's anything new and noteworthy.

    What's the craziest modification you're actually considering for your slate

    Me? Sidepipes just for fun. Maybe hookup some sound to it with different engine noises, like small block chevy, F1 V12, etc.. Yeah, it's crazy..

    Can we get a Slate Blog on the Slate website please? We're starved for news.

    Just a little weekly post from P.R. listing any interviews done, stuff coming up, or progress on the plant. Or just shoutouts from the employees. Any info would be appreciated no matter how small. Slate is already the most transparent company out there. This would only make it more so. Old...

    Hey Slate! You're out of events!

    All us people in the south would sure love to see one in person. Throw us a bone! I really feel you should have been partnering up with "Electrify Expo" events, but there's only a couple left this year. Maybe you feel you've had enough exposure at this point and need to concentrate on fitting...

    Is launching a boat or jetskis going to be an issue?

    Just wondering, with the motor on the rear axle, would it be a bad idea to launch something? Good chance you'd get water up to or over it.

    What kind of performance upgrades do you think will be available for the Slate?

    Other than adding more motors or better motors, are there any aftermarket performance upgrades to add power to any ev's out there? I know Hyundai/Kia has the N series but that's from the factory. And Ford has a software upgrade to add more torque for $1000.00. But I'm thinking there's not much...

    Adding a screen for AA/Carplay is WAY cheaper than I thought it would be

    I didn't even know these exist. The quality probably isn't great, but could be a cheap solution to hold you over till you can afford a double din headunit. Any where from 45 dollars to a couple of hundred. Amazon link youtube reviews

    Place Your Bets! (actual blank Slate starting price contest)

    Post your best guess for the base price, before delivery charge, down to the penny if you want, and I'll buy a slate hat for the closest to the actual price. If several people get it right, I'll draw one of their names out of a hat. My guess, $ 24,999.00 Winner will get hat once slate opens...

    Will there be an OBD port? What do other EV's have?

    Way back I used to use an old 7" android tablet, a bluetooth obd adapter and an app called Torque to show all vital gauges and other info like mileage. Used it on a trip or two in the wife's car. Do other EV's have obd ports and if so, what info do they report? Engine RPM and temp maybe?

    Will you have self control when choosing add-ons?

    I'm worried that once I start accessing the kid's inheritance, I may not be able to stop. :)

    MORE MERCH!!

    I'd love a Hoodie come this fall, and maybe a die-cast model? And more designs with depictions of the truck itself.

    Is 3D "spin" still working in Slate Maker for you guys?

    Mine has stopped. When I click, hold and move the mouse, all I get anymore is switching to a new pic. I've tried different browsers and they're all the same.
