My Slate is no longer welcome at the all you can eat buffet! :swear:

I think tech like Apple Car-Key, on board modems, NFC, mobile hotspots, or even ADAS systems start to eventually invade Slate’s marketplace, it may start to diminish the appeal of the Slate. While I do believe 3rd party suppliers will pursue this route, it will NEVER be officially endorsed by...

I can better accept a US-based company like Slate sourcing some vehicle components from non-US suppliers, than Chevy and Cadillac building the Equinox and Optiq EVs in Mexico!

“The ocean called… they’re running out of shrimp!“

Nope, you got it right. I think the 2017 Model S with a 60 kWh battery actually had a 75 kWh battery pack that was software-limited. If you wanted more range you could pay to unlock the extra range via an OTA update. This actually follows Slate’s example, build them all the same on the...

The creativity of the members on this particular thread is truly amazing! Along with a little help from AI.

I use the Jetsons’ doorbell (from the theme song “Meet George Jetson”) as my lock chime. It always makes me smile

OK, let's talk about "lost deposits"... In case anyone hasn't looked or can't remember, Slate's reservation system was governed by its Reservation Agreement along with its Website Terms and Conditions, which was described on the checkout page. It did not officially spell out what happens if...

Well, I certainly hope a solution is ironed out before Slate is offered for sale. I don't need another expense like a new iPhone 16 so that it is compatible with the Slate. I'm still using an iPhone XR with a lightning connector, and it's working well for me.

While I think this looks great, I can't be seen driving around advertising for one of the largest tech companies* in the world. * Google (Chrome) ;)

I don’t believe your story with Lucid is unique. I bought a vehicle online in NJ from Driveway.com from a very established dealer network (Lithua Motors). It took nearly 3 months to obtain the NY title. That’s after paying an exorbitant doc fee of $800 and countless emails and phone calls...

Currently, the Slate requires that the key fob be inserted into a slot in the dash. Meaning it will most likely not be detected elsewhere in the cabin or in your pocket. From what we know, I don’t believe Slate is pursuing firmware updates for self locking features.

Agreed, this would have all the charm of a movie I recall with Mini Coopers, I believe it was called The Italian Job.

Who needs an expensive camper? Time for my afternoon nap 😴

Yes! Let’s keep it going. And we have until July 24 to place the preorder and lock in the delivery window. I’m a believer in Numerology: “the belief that numbers have a mystical or divine significance and can reveal the future.”

While this is unconfirmed, Consumer Reports lists it as the “EV Pickup” for the model name.

Those with existing reservations, I like the fact that you’ll know the delivery window before going forward with the preorder. No surprises.

This takes me back to my days in the military. Here's a Jeep with a modernized Slate theme. Does anyone else think the army spends way too much time on vehicle maintenance?

Where I live there are restrictions on the level of tint applied to to windshields; i.e. it must allow at least 70% light transmission (non-reflective tint allowed only on the top 6 inches). The main glass area cannot be tinted darker. Same for front side windows (driver and passenger): Must...

How does this sound: Drive your old clunker to Carvana, drive home in a new Slate!
