  1. This Is So Boring Now

    RIP Albert! 14 months for me after switching to a soft top (best decision I could have made) after intiitally ordering with the dual soft / mod top (did that ever materialize??). Best vehicle I have ever owned. Dreading putting the doors back on in a couple of weeks.

  2. Yes, the Slate DOES compete with the Maverick (and more!)

    Maybe I'm really misreading things but I see the consumer retail market as about half the slate success equation. The other strikes me as a utility/delivery/gopher vehicle for businesses. Retail businesses, Utilities, Construction... basically anyone that needs to maintain a fleet of small...

    How long before 74weld offers portals?

  4. Article: Slate Auto CEO Chris Barman tells us how exactly it’s making a $25,000 EV

    Yes PA changed it's law last year. Doors off are fine if the mfg made the vehicle to be able to remove the doors. And yes you still need side mirrors. IF the doors are removable and IF they offer them, get the mfg door bags. I can't recommend these enough. Makes doors easier to remove and...

  5. It looks like SLATE has pathetic EV efficiency. (and a rant).

    Nice to know! Thank you!

    Hmmm. Anyone know if they are using this? https://www.automotivelinux.org/

  7. It looks like SLATE has pathetic EV efficiency. (and a rant).

    Glad to see someone mention it. Or take the tailgate off and run a net instead.

  8. Open Air Kit Body Style question - how do you keep your truck from getting rained in?

    I love rockin' the Safari style even here in PA in the summer. If it rains you get wet, if it rains a lot you get a lot wet. Assuming something similar will be possible with the Slate.

  9. Why Doug DeMuro Thinks the Slate Truck Will Fail

    I actually agree with Doug that the price is too high. I have a reservation for one but will be watching what the price does over the next year and a half. I'm probably interested enough (I think it's neat) and have enough disposable income that I will buy one anyway but as things like the...

  10. Unrealistic Delivery Date

    I wonder with the founders tech inspired background how much AI they are using to simulate the production line and processes and build a virtual factory. Starting from a clean sheet of paper that should be easier for them than it would be for an existing manufacturer.

    Why the cold climate disqualifier?

  12. Unrealistic Delivery Date

    Dunno. Seems like there's a strong tech bro influence in the group. Hoping your pessimism is unwarranted but fearing it's probably not.

  15. Anyone have a wrap on a car now?

    I have a 2021 Bronco that I had wrapped with XPEL Stealth PPF in October of 2021. I've had it offroad numerous times in the woods of Pennsylvania through tight trails and even rubbing on rock faces. XPEL PPF is about 8 mils thick. Standard wraps are usually 3 mils thick so it's made to take...
