    What will Slate's Accessories Marketplace Portal be like?

    Yes. Not just to do it, maybe, but to do it well, yes. This reinforces my point. If it were easy to do TradeMotion wouldn't need to exist. This. Yes. Peter Faricy served as the Vice President of Amazon Marketplace, where he played a key role in expanding the platform to support millions...

    The Slate needs a lower price. I know they are not pickups, (most are crossovers/SUVs), but with rebates, % and other deals I can get several other E

    Compactness, simplicity, and opportunity for hands-on personalization aren't valuable to some people apparently.

    Competitors? For my purposes there aren't any. Weird.

    SLATE truck attends WORK Truck Week in Indianapolis

    PD is becoming ubiquitous. More and more gizmos use PD power these days. I have a portable projector that does, for example. Fans, lights, drones, party speakers, ... Think of practically anything that comes with an AC-to-DC adapter. In the future it'll likely be PD powered. Edit: Left one...

    SLATE truck attends WORK Truck Week in Indianapolis

    The reason it came to mind is because probably 10 out of the last 10 times I've seen and accessory plugged into a vehicle's 12V Accessory outlet the accessory was a USB adapter.

    What will Slate's Accessories Marketplace Portal be like?

    It would be a mistake to outsource the Accessories Marketplace to Amazon, with the possible exception of using them for fulfillment (warehouse and ship) only if that's something Amazon would do.

    Again, what are the several 2027 EVs you will be able to get for that, and what are their prices? I'm calling BS on this, however you have an opportunity to prove me wrong by listing the several EVs and their prices.

    Personally I want a Small Pickup, not an econobox Transportation Appliance from a dealership, so for me the prices of the Leaf and Bolt are irrelevant. The 2-door compact pickup form factor is my predominant reason, but there are lots of other reasons. @Kopsis listed a few. Here are a few more...

    The ideal price will be whatever price sells all of the Blank Slates they can produce at full production capacity. This price has a name: it's the market-clearing price. If they price it lower there will be a shortage, meaning some forgone profits. On the Bright Side the Blank Slate would have...

    What are the several other 2027 EVs can you get for the same price as the Slate and what are their prices?

    It's impossible for a penultimate question to be the only question. Your answer is that somewhere near 150,000 American auto buyers per year when they reach full production. The reason is because way fewer than 1% of vehicles sold need to be be Blank Slates for the company to sell every Blank...

    SO MANY NEW COLORS! Show your best new builds.

    I think both will be offered, with PPF at a premium price.

    What will Slate's Accessories Marketplace Portal be like?

    In a general sense, security needs to be designed in as a high priority from the very beginning of a project like that. I doubt the maker site was developed to have extreme security from the very beginning because it doesn't need high security to do what it does.

    AM/FM Radio is a safety issue

    Two knobs, a panel with numbers and a pointer, and some "radio buttons" comprise a good interface for a car radio. These days maybe add a button for selecting among Radio/Aux/Bluetooth.

    What will Slate's Accessories Marketplace Portal be like?

    I'm sure a Marketplace site will work symbiotically with it, but what they need is have something different enough to build from scratch. The maker is a marketing tool. What they need is a full-on e-commerce engine.

    Slate testing on solid ice & snow at Baudette Proving Ground in MN (video)

    Maybe both? Working for you and working for Slate don't need to be mutually exclusive. I'm still hanging in suspense about what happens to bumpers and stock wheels and tires if someone upgrades from the get-go.

    SLATE truck attends WORK Truck Week in Indianapolis

    I don't think we have, have we? They used b be used for cigarette lighters before they were 12V Accessory ports. In that case you apparently misunderstand what Slate's ethos of Radical Simplicity is actually about.
