    The Hypothetical Vehicle I Would Chose Over The Slate

    Another choice could be the new Scout in 2027. It will be made by VW, and use some Rivian electrical parts, possibly more. It has a 350 mile range on battery, but you can get the Harvester model with a gas powered generator to get a 500 mile range. It is a larger vehicle similar size to Rivian...

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    The Level 1 and Level 2 NACS charger may look something like this from Lectron. It has two separate plugs.

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    I was wondering about the charge cord Slate shows and says is included. It only has a 120 volt plug. Is there another 240 volt plug that is also included but not shown? Maybe an end you can change but not shown. You can't get level 2 charging from 120 volt, correct? Slate says everything is...

    Slate SUV kit (rear window open) on display in Sacramento

    We have a Leer shell on an old Ford F-150. The back window has 2 latches that you turn, then lock. You have to open the glass before you open the tailgate, since the glass seals on the outside. I was wondering if the Slate might have the glass on the inside of the tailgate. If you notice there...

    Slate announces Tesla supercharger access + 4,000 service / repair shops RepairPal partnership!

    Does anyone else have trouble getting repairpal to find their shops? I put in my city, state and zip code, and a make of car, and it doesn't show any locations. I even zoomed out and don't see anything in the US. Does it only show a certain distance? I had never heard of them.

    Don't Baby Your EV, Hard Acceleration Extends Battery Life

    Don't Baby Your EV, Hard Acceleration Extends Battery Life

    By the time the Slate goes into production in 13 months or so, they may have a completely different battery than they have now. Hopefully it is cheaper, to reduce the total cost.

    Cargo Kit Option with Windows

    I was trying to reply to Sodamo's post about the sunroof on the rear section. It didn't copy the quote. I've tried to fix it.

    Cargo Kit Option with Windows

    Sodamo ---- "are you sure it is a sunroof - transparent panel? I was under the impression it was just a removable panel, not transparent.' The pictures I've seen, the rear removable panel is solid, not transparent.

    Cargo Kit Option with Windows

    This was shown before the official release date of 4/24/25. I thought they were going to release the slant back as a cargo top too. This could just be wrapped over the glass, I don’t know. Someone even mentioned the rear window on the slant back doesn’t open. I don’t know about that either.

    Cargo Kit Option with Windows

    The cargo topper probably wouldn't have the sunroof either. The picture shows it with a roof rack. I think they should offer it with side windows, like a typical camper shell.

    Swappable Body Panels

    This was one of the first videos of the Slate being assembled. There are several shown without body panels.
