It feels like Slate are falling into the same marketing trap that Ford did--Trying to position the Lightning as simply another variation of the F150 that can do everything the ICE version could do, but better. Bad strategy. I get that some people are going to want/need a roof rack on the Slate...

UTVs are a scourge and destroying the most scenic parts of my state. I'd be in favor of every UTV being converted to an E-UTV if for no other reason than the noise reduction. Now if they can figure out a way to reduce the dust they kick up and the destruction they do to the sensitive terrain...

Cody - Your arguments for canceling your reservation are convincing. We all have different situations and the Slate doesn't seem like it will be a good fit for you. Why wait? I'd cancel now and move on.

I also received an email from Slate today with a response to my question regarding their OTA update procedures. I let them know of my frustrations with OTA updates on my F150 Lightning and my hope that Slate has a better plan in place. Here's their response: Hi MotoGary, Thank you for your...

I’m only interested in the SUV version of the Slate. It’s going to be the replacement for a 2-Door Jeep Wrangler I used for my “fun” around town vehicle. Top and doors off in the Summer.

Despite my initial reaction (nonplussed) I'm going to try to be positive and assume that she's great at her actual job.

What I was referring to was Slate Auto's definition. There's only one model of the Slate vehicle, and it's a truck. That's what we'll all be ordering--A blank Slate Truck. From there we'll add option kits and other accessories to the truck.

My configuration won't really be a "truck", it will be the SUV version. But by definition it's still a truck, just with the optional SUV kit. So I guess it will be the "Slate Auto Slate Truck with SUV Kit"

Haha...Yeah, that would be my luck! :) But just think how much that will be worth to a collector in 50 years when one of my grandkids finds it in a shoebox with all my other original Slate "junk". 🤑💰

Got mine. Never gonna open the envelope.

Yeah, it may "fit"--But that tailgate? No way I'm hauling a heavy bike!

Who here plans on towing a boat on the highway at 75 mph in Winter with their Slate? :facepalm: In the end, he could be right. Slate may prove to be a bust. But he should at least try to make his case with realistic examples.

I'm not gonna take the bait on the "wrong side of the road" comment. :lipssealed: :) But why a factory in Thailand for Right-hand drive models? Why not Aussieland? If they can build it for under $30K in the US, surely they can do the same in AU?

Just to be clear; Left or Right Hand DRIVE is the position of the steering wheel and driver in the vehicle. The map refers to Left or Right Hand TRAFFIC which is the lane of travel of the vehicle. Therefore: A Left-Hand Drive vehicle is for Right-Hand Traffic (as in the US & all Blue on map) A...

Do you really think Slate thinks they're going head to head against the Maverick? That's not at all what's going on here. They have a whole different vision. The comparison is just silly. I think Mr "Maverick Resource" dude knows better, but he's playing the "clicks" game.

'68 Mustang similar to this one. Not a GT though. Sold it to my college roommate who had it stolen and never recovered it.

Thanks for taking time to post that. I'm still not seeing it. Is there an actual phone app? I'm wondering if it's embedded into one of the starter pack choices? 🤷‍♂️ Edit: Ok, I found it in a couple of the starter packs. I can see it on both my iPhone and my Mac. There's an option button...

I always thought a 2-door Jeep Wrangler would make a great EV. So my old 2018 Pun'kin Orange 2-door Jeep Wrangler inspired my SLATE build. I loved running around in the Summer with the top and doors off. The quietness and quickness of an EV would make it so much more fun! I also love the...

Less than a minute in and I'm out. Not interested in his take. Can't take the guy's crazy eyeballs and over-the-top delivery. 🤪

Didn't they all appropriate it from the OG of white roofs?
