It's supposed to be one of the biggest for EVs as well if all goes to plan.

Things have changed a lot financially for me since the announcement, good and bad. I don't think I'll be able to part with the car I was planning on selling for the Slate when I want to (it's complicated) BUT I might be getting the opportunity for a Ford X-plan code that I can keep or pass onto...

Huge fan of them as well. Been following Torchinski and Tracy's articles since way back and happily moved sites when they did. Hope to get a member's rides article sometime myself! The article is pretty even on the Slate. He does have some criticisms but Slate has given skeptics plenty of...

I'm in the opposite boat with the same goal. I refuse to buy anything that isn't a color, but the Slate is novel enough that I'm willing to keep it as-is. My current fleet is magenta, tan/beige (shocking that's a rare color now), green, and baby blue. If I don't like it, I'll either rattle-can...

I doubt Slate will be selling their accessories directly through Amazon as a direct partnership. Now being fulfilled by Amazon, that's another story. It would be wise for them to offer a pool of accessories through a seller account on Amazon for customers to order smaller accessories via prime...

One thing that I always think about seeing a lot of these new pickups (and other things) is that it's nice that Slate is sticking to the 'traditional' front end look with the round headlights. Seems like everyone is going with gun-slit LEDs these days. The base model LandCruiser does a good job...

This, 100%. I've posted about it before, but your phone is logging every minute of your location history whenever you have it with you (if you're turned it on as most people do). Everyone has a really easy way to look at years of past travels per day and see what kind of mileage they really...

Honestly out of any higher follower YouTubers out there, Aging Wheels should be on their list to get a review vehicle too. His whole follower base is based around small-affordable EVs, both good and bad.

If someone makes a replacement that'd be one of my mods. All my cars with glass headlights have aged so much better than their polycarb contemporaries.

Dodge had a similar thing a few years ago. On their fleet site you could pre-build your wrap and they'd ship you your RAM pickup pre-wrapped for your business. Makes sense they'd go this route as it ensures they get priority for customer orders instead of some third party trying to fit in...

Believe they mean the 'other' EVs aren't pickups, based on reading that copy-paste post they did in like three separate threads.

Even then that's barely scraping under 30K. Ford's build and price total for the cheapest bare-bones 2WD 2L in white:

Aside from the eye watering prices, RetroSound's radios fit quite well with the bare-bones Slate design. Good form factor too. And those give you at least bluetooth / Aux / XM if you get the antenna. Also curious about: RetroSound Enhanced Amplified Hide-away antenna (WPA2) The RetroSound®...

This isn't an officially sanctioned forum, you'll have to reach out to Slate directly through their contact page if you want to actually tell them something. They have responded to everything we've asked so far.

I've heard nothing of it, but other than that very first pre-announcement Cat Therapy Slate fastback that was parked on the street with the fun wrap I don't think there's ever been another one shown. If there's been more I'd assume that they were all re-wraps of this one. It certainly could be...

The closest thing I could think of without a full new roof design would be a bimini / bikini soft top for the rear, similar to how Jeeps/Broncos/etc do it. But in this case it would just be a panel over the rear portion: Actually, Toyota 4runners had this exact kind of top offered from the...

I wouldn't be surprised if, to keep the cost down, the Slate camera is a standard composite video feed that would be rerouted to a double din radio. Heck, THAT you could argue is a safety thing as the double din screen / whatever someone opts to add in would be bigger than the dashboard one. I...

Even AI cannot comprehend the idea of a modern compact two door pickup truck!

I still hear some people talk about Bronco IIs with rose tinted glasses, including one former boss who rolled one. I'm sure there's gotta be a small percentage of people that are wanting one these days that Slate could potentially tap into the market of. To quote Arrested Development, "There...

I remember helping build webpages in MacroMedia DreamWeaver. Hell, one of them is still up. I'd like to think / hope that the frame the body panels are all mounted to will give us enough metal for a good antenna ground. I'll absolutely do a motorized one or a big whip. I really hope at some...
