That happened here. Two new plants were announced and seemingly overnight every plot of farmland that had been sitting on the market for years were all sold. Apartments going up all over the place!

Exactly, nothing wrong with doing this, especially headlights and taillights. Costs a lot of money to not only design, but also DOT certify lighting, so all sorts of autobody builders, RV makers, and super-car companies simply design in off-the-shelf parts. Car radios, HVAC controls, and stuff...

I can't remember if we've seen a Slate on steelies without that trim ring around it. If so I'd definitely consider spraying them white.

Exactly, it can be all nice and curated. It doesn't have to be a live-feed or anything like that. I just want to see it actually start and stop and drive around a bit. We'll probably never get a prototype live-drive from anyone after Elio had the fender incident.

I'm gonna guess the Slate app is going to require cel service by default. Probably what they'll be using for their over the air updates and so the app will expect a connection to check for those. I've still got this sitting in my closet waiting for the perfect car...

I really wish they'd give us at least one solid video of it just driving around. No cuts, nothing fancy. A simple ride along for a minute or two on some basic suburban roads.

I've got a few double-din radios from the 80s all the way to a 6-disc with Aux from a Ford F150 I pulled for a friend that ended up selling the truck that would make good Slate candidates until I decide if I want an Android Auto unit.

I'm sure a lot of these fitment issues will be ironed out by the time they're making these full production. Especially that frunk shot where it looks like they dremel'd out more plastic for clearance.

"Ram is renaming its REEV-powered pickup to Ram 1500 REV (formerly Ramcharger) " If Ram doesn't end up calling their Ram that Charges itself the RamCharger that'll be the most Stellantis thing I've ever seen.

Nope, just a jagged end where it was busted off. He'd shove that end into some random hole in the hood and the end with the grip would be the side that sat down in the engine bay, LOL.

Back in the day my roommate's VW had a golf club with the head busted off.

Chrysler, 60's, they loaned out a handful of their turbine cars to families in some sort of raffle to use as daily drivers. From what I read they got a lot of good research data out of it, and those owners were the talk of their towns for a while. Would be good advertising for a Slate and also...

It's a rough render but Slate has shown an accessory switch set that goes in the middle of the truck, above the HVAC controls. So your fog light switches would be right in the center!

I've mentioned before but one of my friends has a paint booth and we're gonna find out if we can get our hands on a Slate.

LuxrageintheCage, thanks! It's pretty empty but I do post things from time to time.

I hope they keep the public posted on the progress of their factory, at least the locals for upcoming job creation. They worked on two massive factories in my town for years but didn't make a big media spectacle out of it until only recently. Unrelated, but I was endlessly scrolling my...

^This, I know a few people who have towed pretty big trailers with Crown Vics just by putting the bigger hitch on it and a brake controller, but the factory package included a whole lot more:

This is probably going to be the slowest time of the Slate timeline. They're still finalizing the prototype and anything they show isn't gonna be the final result so they can't reveal too much. In a few months from now once they get it 100% figured out, I bet we'll start seeing Slate University...

In helping friends buy new cars I've encountered so many addons and things that were fights or stalemates to get removed. "Complimentary VIN etching on all of the glass for $1000. No we can't remove that we already etched the glass." to the LO-Jack pre-installed whether or not you want it, to...
