Stereo, I don’t need no stinking stereo.

I’m not worried so much about taxes, title and insurance as I am about the reality of how they will get my truck from the factory to me. The normal model is based on the assumption that you live near a dealer. Slate is not creating a traditional dealer network. So transport from the assembly...

So here is, not an opinion, but a desirable choice. No radio, no phone, no IPad, no infotainment screen. None of those facilitate my getting from A to B in an efficient manner.

See if FREITAG would be interested in doing a collaboration for soft goods. Bags, Bikini tops, seat covers, things of that nature. The brothers might be interested in what you’re doing. The Slate certainly has the design and outside the box thinking they started with.

Thank you for the thoughtful analysis. You have brought up some very god questions regarding the build process. Some of the choices may have changed time and an evolution of materials, methods and processes. Things do change, even manufacturing. I feel that there are a host of questions...

For the sake of humanity, keep the key locks!

Regarding the money flow on this start-up. As the answer said, this is a private held company. So where all of the start-up money has originated from, or what tax breaks they may have acquired is not going to be know for sometime. I would suspect that a bean counter has already forecast all...

Backup camera, don’ need one, don’t want to pay for one. Darn, oh well.

I’m not sure who has put-up this forum. I hope it is somebody from Slate. And forgive me if these questions have been answered on the Slate Auto page or someplace in all of the product announcement presentations. What type and kind of regen braking does the Slate have? Will there be a plug...

Would it be an accurate guess to say the Slate will have regen braking. That seems to be a basic part of a viable EV.

Speaking of familiar vehicles of the past that the Slate seems to echo. Search an image for a Range Rover two door, IH Scout, Series IIA long wheel base and the two door concept, the ever fabulous Chevy Nomad.

So looking into the future of the Slate anybody have a guess as to how long it will take before somebody will do a true woody wagon? Or an old style shooting brake.

I have no intention of using a phone or a tablet. I know really old school.

Based on what I have seen so far, those sides windows should be replaceable in your garage. Think flat sheet of whatever is the right thickness. DIY outside the box thinking, you know Dirt Bag Garage.

A big safety engineering problem with any soft top/open vehicle is the rigidity of the open section. It seems that the roll bar is the way to maintain the rating without adding a completely different rear section. Simpler manufacturing. I will say, being able to just buy the square back roof...
