    Who’s Reserving the Slate EV: Everyday Americans, Young Professionals, New Drivers, Contemporary Seniors, Auto Enthusiasts

    Good: I have a Maverick hybrid. Love the mileage. Easy to drive. Easy to get in. Made some nice road trips in it. Would recommend for anyone living in an apartment without a charger. Bad: Had to replace 12v battery at 10K which is common. Know I'm going to have to replace the CV joints...

    Who’s Reserving the Slate EV: Everyday Americans, Young Professionals, New Drivers, Contemporary Seniors, Auto Enthusiasts

    I do have a maverick hybrid and I am on mtc, but not very often any more. Mainly just to see if there's yet another recall coming. ;)

    Special Q&A for Reservation Holders w/ Slate Auto CEO

    Understood and I'm hopeful too. But the SUV kit requires removal of the back wall of the cab which would provide some rollover protection in the pickup configuration. I fear the rollbar may be needed due to that as much as it is needed to protect seated back passengers.

    Special Q&A for Reservation Holders w/ Slate Auto CEO

    Awesome. My questions 1. They have a schedule. When do they anticipate knowing and announcing what their final price will be? 2. Chris mentioned in one interview they are including a space for a double-din headunit, but in a later interview she said single-din. Did they change it or did...

    New base-model Teslas have no radio

    Back in high school I was jealous of my friend's "faux" digital GE alarm/radio. It had the flip numbers like a rolodex. God do I sound like a boomer.

    Double-din radio housing for center dash and dash speaker blanks

    I think one of these would be nostalgic. I still remember the first time I saw one. Think it might have been a Buick. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/res-pa03?seid=srese1&ppckw=pmax-restoration&gclid=CjwKCAiAraXJBhBJEiwAjz7MZU8Tt7s1MHw-JHiVF9pkEwkVegBXdLZTnkQWR7pQ_-GEl-DTKay60BoCDVgQAvD_BwE

    Poll: Which part of the Slate website are you looking forward to the most?

    I could swear I had that in there. Must have lost it in the editing. Added now.

    THIS Truck is Designed Like LEGO's—This Could Change EVs Forever

    My dad was born in 24. In the 60s and 70s he was an oldsmobile man. He would order them with manual windows because he felt electric windows would probably get stuck halfway down at the worst time, like in a blizzard. I never had the guts to ask, "why would you roll down your window in a...

    Another day, another influencer. Kim Java

    Plenty of underside about halfway through this.

    Slate Truck Dimensions - Length, Width, Height, Wheelbase, Bed Size, Frunk Capacity

    I would like to know the length from the back of the seats, (with them all the way forward), to the inside of the tailgate. I.E. maximum length of bed, (the sleeping kind), in a square back camper configuration with the cab back and window relocated. Looking to make mine a single person...

    Anyone else have Chris Barman randomly like your FB posts?

    Interesting. I friended her just to see what happens but I'm not confident it's really her. Will update if I find out more.
