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

    Another option for use of LFP would be to offer the standard range as LFP and the extended as the current NMC. Just a layman’s view. Sorry, back to the shows!

    How adventurous are you going to be orderiing your Slate?

    No guts, no glory!! I am hoping to snag one of these early and hang on to it long into the future. I’m thinking it might actually be like my Mavericks. Worth more than I paid for them a year and half later. One can hope.

    EVs are more reliable than ICEVs..... GO!

    Am I missing the punchline? ā€œExternal Combustion Engineā€ was not an option in the survey. What the hell is an external combustion engine anyway? Did you mean to say ā€œInternalā€?

    Slate’s Recommended Tool for researching any State and Local incentives

    @KevinRS Your last assumption is correct. Both Ford and GM were able to figure something out and bought some number of vehicles from their dealer lots and put them into the lease offerings. They got the $7,500 credit and are applying it to the first leases.

    Someone needs to tell these guys the roads do run through the Midwest!! How about Nashville, Bowling Green, Louisville, Lexington?

    Slate or Datsun

    We had an early Nissan extended cap that between my wife and my son we put 300k+. You’re right about the engine. It was tiny beast.

    Slate should have a Range Insights Map on their website

    I think I would like to have that for my Lightning and EV6. That would make a great smartphone app that you could load your vehicle into.

    National Drive Electric events this month

    Man I hate that I missed that this event was occurring in Louisville until now. I would have loved to have attended. I will make an extra effort to get to the next one.

    Hey Slate! You're out of events!

    Would definitely participate, if you (SLATE AUTO) would bring one of those cuties to Bowling Green, KY. Maybe we could meet up at the Corvette Museum. There are DCFC’s there and I’m sure Chevrolet wouldn’t mind at all.

    Ford announces new base Trim for 2026 Maverick starting at $27,145

    I owned a pair of them from the earliest production dates. I really liked them, but wanted an electric version and since it didn’t appear it was going to happen I went with Lightning. I won’t go back ICE for the money. Now if the T3 arrives on time and on budget I might go that route, but as...

    Ford announces new base Trim for 2026 Maverick starting at $27,145

    If you drive Electric you’ll never go back ICE. I am speaking from experience. 😊

    Slate’s CEO promises $39B contributions to Indiana over time

    We know that’s a misstatement. It’s been demonstrated on a number of occasions in less than two hours. By their engineers of course, so a few hours for us DIY’ers.

    Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    A full throated reveal of the WARRANTY will be required for me. Well before the order date, thank you.

    Will the Slate’s 8 seconds to 60 mph be adequate for safe highway merging?

    I drive a 2022 Lightning that does 0-60 in 3.8ish. It will be an adjustment (and disappointing) going between it and the Slate. I plan on keeping both.

    Car and Driver: 2027 Slate Truck EV vs. 2025 Ford Maverick: How They'll Compare

    They’ll have to revisit this comparison when the Ford (T1) specs come to lite in the near future. That will be an apple to apple šŸŽ comparison.
