This presents an interesting opportunity for reservation holders. Slate can offer free charging credits for lease holders of 1 or 2 years. I’m sure they can negotiate a contract with the property owners to keep occupancy rates high. If this project proves successful, more units should be...

ABC57 News Article From ABC57 news: “The electric truck company, Slate Auto, is coming to Kosciusko County, just outside Warsaw, and promising more than 2,000 full-time jobs. But those workers need somewhere to live. With that in mind, Warsaw city leaders broke ground Tuesday on the new...

Yes, and Slate can claim success on this goal even if they only deliver a “couple of trucks” off the line in December 2026. To maintain credibility I’m sure they’ll find a way to deliver.

My thoughts exactly. The teaser videos and images that last just a few seconds are purposely designed to create a perception that Slate is further along in the design process than they are. The dismissive nature of the email responses from the ‘Slate Team’ (eg. “great question; we don’t know and...

They should just rename it something way more appropriate, like RAM 1500 RIP……

Yes. Not a gimmick. Starting in Model year 2026 the following “high priced propulsion” parts will be covered under the new 7-year warranty; Power Conversion System (PCS) Assembly PCS Inlet and Outlet Assembly Hoses Ancillary Harness Assembly High Voltage Fast Charge Contactors Assembly High...

NO, the other driver was yelling, You’re Going the Wrong Way!” And they just waved back. Look! It’s a One Way Street!

Looks like I’m challenging the wrong crowd

I was referring to knowing your SOC when you’re NOT in your car. Quick- what’s the available range on your Silverado 🙂

I think it’s inevitable that folks will need to drive the Slate at or near its limits from time to time. You will find out soon enough. Your so-called “routine” is not fixed. As you already know, there will always be the little unplanned trips to the grocery store, pharmacy, emergencies, and...

In order to maintain a healthy battery, I plan to follow the 20/80 charging scheme. As a daily (local) driver on the standard battery, it will likely be charged every other night. Now factor in cold ambient temperatures and less than ideal driving conditions/ habits, and I expect to charge...

Can anyone recommend a DIN2 plug and play AM/ FM / CD player that will fit nicely in the Slate dashboard. I have hundreds of CDs that went into storage in the late 90s. I see this as another benefit, that Slate will help reacquaint me with my music library.

Ram 1500 REV Electric Pickup Truck Is Dead Before It Could Pile Up on Dealer Lots "As demand for full-size battery electric trucks slows in North America, Stellantis is reassessing its product strategy and will discontinue development of a full-size BEV pickup. As part of this, Ram is renaming...

Yes, you did read the article. I posted this article almost one month ago! Tran is a little late to the party. Slate Makes the Cover of Car and Driver Magazine!

This is the 2026 model; it hasn't been released yet.

A first impressions look by a reviewer who got to witness the Slate truck at one of the Slate to State events. Quote from the video @5:35: "it's still pretty awesome, even at $30K"

Aside from the new Ford Model T moment, all the above referenced EV’s represent solid proof that Slate is already putting downward pressure on prices. And we are still ~15 months away from production. This is a big win for consumers.

Slate has promised that reservation holders will be invited to a personal test drive early next year. It's mentioned in the FAQ section on slate.auto. I know this is anxious crowd, but we just need to be patient. I know it's not easy!

Some of the AI engines (eg. Grok) suggest that the SUV kit will be $5K. I hope it comes in around $3500 since it was announced Slate is still working with suppliers for the most economical options. In any event I hope their “major announcements” are released soon.

To summarize; great question, but we don’t know the answer, and even if we do know, we can’t say anything.
