    Wrap or no wrap?

    I sent a bunch of questions I have around the wraps (mainly because I'd like to use a film they don't offer) - if I get any responses with info I'll be sure to post up. My guess is they won't be saying much until release date. Given that they've dedicated a facility to supporting the "wraps" my...

    Wrap or no wrap?

    To be fair, IIRC, he even says right in the video it was just a "party trick" because the paint can't be clear-coated and is incredibly fragile.

    Wrap or no wrap?

    I would absolutely love to see them offer a "rust bucket wrap"

    Preorder Starts June 24 (email)! - How to Preorder Your Slate

    So I now appear have 4 designs in my garage, 2 not of my doing (2 are "blanks" (that I cannot seem to remove), 2 are designs I've made previously). I tried editing one of the blanks and now I can't save it. So you may find the builder is whacked right now.....

    Preorder Starts June 24 (email)! - How to Preorder Your Slate

    Was the Slate site nuked from orbit? All the designs in my garage are gone.... EDIT - it seems the builder is having an existential crisis at the moment. Doing all kinds of wonky things (mostly resetting itself) as I try to use it...

    THERE WILL BE A TIME WHEN IT JUST WON'T GO

    There's _nothing_ that can't be towed. Bro needs to check out some towing vids on the YouTubes. ...and punctuation... ...and posting in ALL CAPS... ...and critical thinking.

    Rhino liner for a wrap

    Naïve about this sort of stuff (aside from the "dip / wrap" stuff) - does it add appreciable weight?

    He's like me - all legs. When seated no one has any idea I'm 6'3" tall.

    The Slate is a Coupe Utility Vehicle (CUV)

    When I was visiting AU I LOVED seeing all the Holden yutes all over the place. Such sensible vehicles IMO. I'm sure the US EPA rules that keep small trucks from getting made also keeps these from being a reality over here....

    DUAL MOTOR - 3500LB tow Rating!!!!

    Both a 1986 SVO and 2001 Bullitt with a single 62mm turbo (602 at the wheels). My car (well, intake) was the one Hellion used to develop their Bullitt kit. The Bullitt was my DD. Full disclosure - I did have a minor accident in the Bullitt in the snow - but that was 100% on me driving in an...

    Delivery to your home no matter where you live (confirms Slate Auto)

    If your assertion is that that those things won't exist simply because I get the car parked in my driveway that's a HUGE leap of assumption.... These things are going to need service - if that happens at a 3rd party site that's something else altogether.

    Delivery to your home no matter where you live (confirms Slate Auto)

    As have I on anything that is either out or warranty or massively modified (so, basically everything I've owned) - but I would hazard to guess a new EV is likely to have some mfgr. service requirements that may preclude casual owner maintenance. There's a number of manufacturers that won't...

    Delivery to your home no matter where you live (confirms Slate Auto)

    Personally I could care less, and don't see how this is somehow a "huge value add", just seems like a bit of sensationalism for the press.. Frankly I'd rather pick it up at a "dealership" where I can meet the service manager / staff and check out the service facility.
