    Hey Slate! You're out of events!

    Well I just noticed on the website that they're taking a couple of weeks off to give their travel teams a rest. Well deserved. Sorry I whined.

    Newsweek article: Update on Slate manufacturing timeline! (On track for late 2026 delivery)

    Oh man, we almost got a glimpse of what's behind the panel just to the right of the steering wheel. I've been wondering if that's where we can mount a double din headunit.

    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.

    Does the SUV kit make sense?

    Thanks! Now, unfortunately, I have a different question. Will the rollbar be a necessary part of the "cargo" option? It's possible that with the back of the cab being removed the rollbar is necessary for rollover rating, and I've read somewhere that parts of the suv roof and side attach to...

    Does the SUV kit make sense?

    Does the roll bar installation eliminate the ability to haul a 4x8 sheet of plywood? Doesn't seem to be 4' clear between vertical posts.

    AC / Heater size & strength

    I can confirm this. One of my favorite things about my Mav is I can eat lunch in it on a 100 degree day sitting in a parking lot and it will only run the engine for about 1 minute out of 5.

    For fun - Overall Size / Wheelbase of Slate truck compared to other vehicles

    My current drive is a Maverick Hybrid. Before that I had a 17 Colorado 4 door, and before that I had a 69 C-10 longbed project truck. Guess which one fit into my garage easiest. Answer: NONE OF THEM. I don't have the exact dimensions but I swear they were all within a couple of inches of...

    Latest photos from Slate Warsaw factory (August 26)

    I'm almost sorry they aren't building an entire new factory. I really enjoyed the youtube drone videos when giga texas was being built. I'm retired from the commercial construction industry.

    Looks like there is a ceremony at the plant today. Chris is interviewed by some dipstick with the usual negative questions on squawk box cnbc this morning.

    LEGO Slate Pickup Truck with working doors, tailgate, steering

    I wonder how much it would cost to completely cover a real slate with Legos. Slate should talk with Lego and do a team-up on a show car. Or maybe a wrap that make it look like its made out of legos?

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

    I have just found out if you go into "Color (wrap)" and click on the custom color wheel it will trigger 3d mode after a few seconds. Took me FOREVER to figure it out.

    Could Slate compete with a Toyota Stout 2 door?

    I've tried to buy two toyotas in the past 2 years. Never again. Worst dealerships ever.

    New battery technology

    My dad and his crewmates in a B-26 got shot down by flak over Toulon France. The pilot was the only one who didn't get out in time. They all evaded capture, my dad and one other got picked up by the French underground. Another was injured and captured and put in a hospital that was taken over...

    Thread for posting battery breakthrough articles. Tech is changing rapidly.

    Yeah for sure, Toyota has been "a year away" from solid state since 2012. As far as my posts in this thread, I'm trying to weed out the click bait and low grade tech sites and keep it more reality based, or at least interesting to me.

    Article: Slate can still undercut Ford's $30,000 EV pickup. Here's how

    the Ford is just my backup in case the Slate doesn't materialize. And just like the Mav, all you'll be able to find the first year is the Lariat trim at 40K, or an XLT at 36. Even if the slate is 30K I'll still buy it.

    Just saw a beautiful beige Datsun king cab driving around yesterday. Looked like it just drove off the dealer lot.
