    Is Slate the name of the truck or the name of the company building it?

    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.

    Is Slate the name of the truck or the name of the company building it?

    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"

    Received my gift in mail from Slate Auto - concept sketch

    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". 🤑💰

    Slate Pickup Bed can fit almost any motorcycle

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

    Rage Bait AI at its finest - why Slate will fail 😡

    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.

    RHD for those of us who call a mile 1.6kms

    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?

    RHD for those of us who call a mile 1.6kms

    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...

    Playing devil's advocate here, comparing Slate Truck vs. Ford Maverick

    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.

    What was your first vehicle?

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

    Share your Slate build configuration images!

    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...

    Share your Slate build configuration images!

    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...

    Another pessimistic viewpoint video - "Is the Slate Truck a Winner... or a Total Flop in the Making?"

    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. 🤪

    White Roof Wrap Only

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

    Why Doug DeMuro Thinks the Slate Truck Will Fail

    Which only proves that you don't have to be very bright to make YouTube money. I don't know anything about this guy, but his argument is full of logical flaws. He rattles off all of the failed/canceled 2-door vehicles, which is actually a great argument for why Slate could succeed. It's like...

    The Slate Truck Needs A Four-Door Version!

    If I add up everything I’ve read that people wish the Slate had, suddenly you’ve got a $100K Rivian. Kinda misses the whole point.
