    Video: Slate SUV top rear glass hinge flips up + cargo area room / size (relative to hockey bag)

    Thanks for posting! This definitively answers the question of whether the rear glass is hinged. Yes!

    Ford Level 3 Eyes-Off Driving to launch on $30K Ford EV Truck

    ‘Eyes-off’ driving is sending the wrong message to the autonomous driving community. At least Tesla is marketing its tech as supervised FSD (full self driving). Your eyes should never be closed behind the wheel. I have FSD. It’s the other drivers I’m worried about.

    Wait until they see how difficult it will be to load a child seat in the second row of the SUV.

    Will Slate Make Their Battery ‘Easily’ Replacable?

    Nice! This lift cart will also be useful to maneuver the seats and cargo roof kit when it comes time to assemble in your driveway. As a DIY, there isn't always a second helper around. At least that's how it will go down in my workshop.

    Where's the 3rd brake light / center high mount stop lamp?

    Not sure if this has been recently addressed, but upon close inspection on the 3D Slate maker it appears the 9-segment LED brake lamp has now been neatly incorporated into the rear tire carrier. Which is adaptable for the open air, fastback, and square back variants. And I must admit it looks...

    Will Slate Make Their Battery ‘Easily’ Replacable?

    This makes the estimated $5k cost of the extended range battery sound like a true bargain! And that includes labor and a factory warranty.

    Who wants this battery in their blank Slate?

    Hey Marko: You caught my attention with Donut Lab. Then I found out it was about solid-state batteries. Tell me about the donuts....

    Article: This [Slate Auto] Long Beach studio is designing America’s cheapest EV truck

    If you’re looking to paint the entire vehicle, wouldn’t it make sense to find a certified collision shop with a full-size spray booth? The idea of removing panels, hood, and doors, even if designed to be removable, doesn’t sit well with me. Where I live, I see a lot of “Caliber” shops that...

    At least he gets to drive the company vehicles.

    It might, however, be a proper getaway vehicle in the Amish country, with police on horseback 🙂

    Yes! But the 8 seconds to reach 60 mph is not exactly going to outrun police vehicles with the interceptor package

    Don’t you need to get it wrapped before you unwrap it? 🙂

    Not sure if everyone is aware, but if you change the color of your vehicle, either by paint or wrap, most states require that you report it to the DMV and have the registration and/or Vehicle Title updated. Just something to keep in mind.

    Remember this guy? Let’s bring him back! “Hi, I’m Earl Scheib, and I’ll paint any car, any color for $29.95. No ups, no extras.” Now thinking paint is a better option than a wrap. You can easily fix a scratch on a painted car; with a wrap, not as much.
