    Your reservation gets you a Slate test drive in 2026!

    Completely agree! But after the long wait is over, let’s hope this forum doesn’t end up like a lot of other forums. They tend to be dominated with complaints. Certainly there will be issues on a totally new design. I just hope they are relatively minor in nature.

    Your reservation gets you a Slate test drive in 2026!

    Since it’s reservations holders only, Slate could make the test drive an after hours private event at a baseball stadium parking field, for example. BMW has previously done this at Citi Field. Without any of the hoopla that would inevitably happen at a larger venue like SLC or Detroit (still...

    Sound bar - factory mounting location under dashboard

    Wondering if the optional console has a lockable storage space for your iPad? I don’t want to carry my tablet around every time I park.
