    Slate - As a Kit Car

    Something like this would be a blast. I've always loved 32-34 fords. https://www.factoryfive.com/order-a-kit/35-hot-rod-truck-complete-kit-2/

    Slate announces Tesla supercharger access + 4,000 service / repair shops RepairPal partnership!

    Of all the options in my area, christian brothers is probably the best. I wouldn't let my worst enemy do Kwik Kar.

    Happy 6-month anniversary

    I'm watching for news on the 30K Ford EV truck, but owning a Maverick with the recalls keeps reminding me why I hate stealerships so it will have to blow my socks off for me to buy one. I'm not that interested in an electric sedan or hatch like the Bolt or Leaf, as I just love small pickups.

    How adventurous are you going to be orderiing your Slate?

    I'll get one asap because I think they'll be a hit like the Maverick Hybrid was. It took me three years of waiting before they stopped putting "dealer adjustments" on them. I love that Slate is direct to consumer. I'm afraid if I don't get one early, demand will outstrip production in short...

    Slate SF Bay Event - Hollister, CA - Swank Farms Fall Experience (& Photos Update)

    Looks like lfp production in the states is evolving rapidly. I'd prefer the larger pack with LFP and would be happy with 175 or so miles of range.

    Philadelphia Zoo Slate to State Event

    Daktari starring Clarence the cross-eyed Lion. I can't believe I remember that.

    Tailgate Flap

    Seems simple enough to incorporate. Between that and all the other multi-folding tailgates out there right now, I wonder what what is patented and what is not.

    Poll on what kind of vehicle you want

    EV truck all the way. I like being able to buy a 4x4 rack of firewood every year from the cheap firewood guy down the way and bring it home for the winter, which isn't very long in north Texas but it does get cold as hell. I also like getting mulch and bringing it home, being able to throw tons...

    Thank you mods or whomever made the pic at the top of the thread. Too funny!

    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..

    Single Din Radio Mount Accessory

    this is where she says double din radio. I'm thinking the newer interview above was a mis-speak but who knows. They may have changed their mind. I'd prefer double. I like the adapter kits that let you put a single din headunit in a double din space and add a cubby hole for your wallet or...

    Slate Auto "Custom Garage" Public Event Coming on Oct. 16 in Detroit

    I'm thinking this was all about getting the content creators listed to create something about the slate, not showing to the public. I'll be watching their work to see if any do anything.

    Simple low-tech audio ideas

    I'm thinking, at least short term after I buy the slate, this tablet with line-out and a mini amp to two speakers either in-door or the slate ones that go behind the dash panels I'll use this while figuring out what exact components I want for a full double din mid-range installation with sub

    Slate Auto "Custom Garage" Public Event Coming on Oct. 16 in Detroit

    I hope there is a truck there, but please take many photos of all the stuff these people are making if it's for the truck, which I assume is the point of the show.

    Slate towing trailer (video) -- 104 degrees heat, 3500 ft grade

    Have fun doing the audio. It's easier than it seems. I've done so many in my life. First was a quadraphonic 8-track in a Ford Falcon. I've never done a double-din though. Looking forward to it.

    How and when did you hear about Slate?

    I was happy with my hybrid Mav. I bought it a year earlier because I was tired of waiting for ford to get off their skunkworks ass and give me what I wanted. I don't remember exactly how I came across it but I saw the video the day it came out. It was like the clouds parted and an angelic...

    OK, so this is dumb, but hear me out....

    Maybe molded in fender flares, or (lol) Hood Scoops! https://www.facebook.com/reel/941272087458500

    OK, so this is dumb, but hear me out....

    My sister had one of these in the early 70's. Yeah, this will be fun, with the occasional "what the hell were they thinking".

    Jeff Bezos's $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

    Agreed. I was just of the opinion that they will be playing catchup with demand instead of being disappointed in demand.
