  1. Hey Slate - Give us a one-year anniversary video this Friday?

    Anybody notice that this coming Friday is the one-year anniversary of the Slate reveal? I know Slate probably has a huge dog-and-pony event scheduled for mid June. But how about an anniversary video - hey, maybe show us the state of the factory? And a factory video would be a great chance to let...
  2. The perfect Slate customer

    As a retired software GUI guy, I just have a thing for visualizing data. I was thinking about the different viewpoints I read on this site, and I decided to Venn diagram the perfect Slate customer. The hardcore base. How would you diagram yourself?
  3. The perfect Slate customer

    As a retired software GUI guy, I just have a thing for visualizing data. I was thinking about the different viewpoints I read on this site, and I decided to Venn diagram the perfect Slate customer. The hardcore base, if you will. The Slate or nothing crowd. How would you diagram yourself? I...
  4. Slate raises another $650M in Series C funding. Preorders sales begin June!

    https://electrek.co/2026/04/13/slate-auto-closes-funding-round-financial-runway-production/ OK, now I'm significantly less skeptical that Slate will make it to market. They seem to have the cash, and now it's all about execution.
  5. Poll - What are you budgeting for Slate accessories?

    I'm genuinely curious. By accessories I mean everthing above the blank Slate. Wraps, kits, bigger battery, whatever. Why am I curious? Because the amount people have in their minds is a big indicator of Slate's aftermarket profit potential. I'm personally very interested in Slate's business...
  6. To the men and women of Slate - Happy Holidays and a Huge Thank You from all of us Slate fans!

    Hey everybody. It occurs to me there won't be very too many holiday days off for the Slate team this year. So I hope it's not too lame for us to all join in on this thread and send our best wishes and sincere thanks to the people at Slate, who are working their tails off to deliver our dream...
  7. Slate and Telo have similar advertising strategies

    I love their approach, and I think they hit the nail squarely. Both Slate and Telo obviously have young people in their social marketing departments. They're both posting funny little shorts that poke fun at larger trucks, show how useful their little trucklets are, and emphasize the "I'm clever...
  8. New TFL Truck Slate video from LA

    Tommy share sentiments with a few of us on this forum. We love the idea of the Slate, but we question whether or not there are enough buyers. Remember that it doesn't matter in the least if tghere are 5,000 of us small BEV truck fanboys. What matters is that Slate can sell it at a hundred...
  9. What is your favorite BEV or EV news website?

    I'm curious what others visit. For me it's Electrek and Inside EVs. Now and then Teslarati, but they're a bit Elon fanboy for me.
  10. How adventurous are you going to be orderiing your Slate?

    I'm genuinely curious to know the sentiment out there. I've very cautious here, so definitely not a day one, week one, month one kind of guy. But how about you?
  11. National Drive Electric events this month

    https://driveelectricmonth.org/attend This link is to a map that shows events near you. I've attended this in the past. A bunch of BEV owners parking their cars and happy to talk to you about the BEV ownership experience.
  12. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    Don't get this thread wrong. I'm a huge Slate fanboy. I want them to succeed. I want a 174" single cab truck sold in the USA. Show us the finished, production ready truck sometime in 2026, as promised. With everything working. Including the "app". Test drives for us fanboys are nice. But what...
  13. Reusing and recycling accessories

    I did a few searches for keywords before posting this thread. I hope I didn't miss a thread that already suggests this. I've been thinking about the whole concept of buying a blank Slate, then accessorizing. I'm mildly troubled by the idea of all the original parts going into dumps all across...
