    Rhino liner for a wrap

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

    Video: Tall Person Tested (6'9") in Slate Driver's Seat

    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...

    Custom Slatelets (3D Print STL files attached)

    To the contrary - I am thinking this is going to be immensely popular. I expect collecting these badges to be over-the-top.....

    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.

    Is ~150 mile range adequate for a fleet vehicle ?

    I would say it depends on the area - for something like an appliance repair company that should be more than adequate in most metro areas. I would say the more rural the service area of a given fleet the less likely this is a good match. But then you can have a mixed fleet - something like...

    Hard pass - horrible lighting, massively power inefficient, generally ugly. I would love to see a real glass lens tho. HID generally has that covered. The "lenses" on my 16 year old Honda go milky about every 3 years - 10 minutes with a buffer and some toothpaste powder and they're clear as...

    What are your personal MUST HAVE Add-Ons/Accessories for your Slate?

    +1 I feel without some factory provision for a reasonable audio system anything added on will be a kludge. Along those lines - I sincerely hope they're considering making CAD drawings available for most of the bolt-on pieces. It's not like the stuff can't be duplicated with a scanner already...
