True. But that fraction of the bed rails totally screams Honda Ridgeline. 😁

The Ford midsize EV seems to have a very Japanese vibe. The Slate on the other hand has more of an 80's American vibe. I know which vibe I prefer....

There's a difference between employing technology to prevent an unsafe operating condition of a vehicle and enforcement of driving laws. The technology is only responding to a set of data conditions. There is no "law enforcement" going on. Now if they track and report data to authorities for...

Many vehicles are already equipped with technology that takes control away from the driver under certain conditions that are deemed unsafe (automatic collision avoidance systems). Your argument would suggest that this technology is also unconstitutional. I'm not saying I agree with this...

I can't say I agree with this. When we are being intentionally misled just to capture our attention for clicks, the truth suffers and I don't think the tradeoff is worth it. But that's another topic we'd need to have a friendly debate about over breakfast. :)

This would be what I would order. My Summertime configuration would be top off and occasionally doors off too. 2025 Slate Truck Share Code: 9Z6XB7 Build Highlights Body Style SUV Kit Exterior SUV Roof Rack (Extension Version), Rear Bumper Upgrade, Spare Tire Carrier (Bumper Upgrade...

"Undisclosed fly-on-the-wall" In other words: Blah, blah, blah...

This guy gives off a creepy Elizabeth Holmes vibe. Feels like Theranos 2.0

Have you considered an E-bike? ;)

:rolleyes: Ok, I'll play....:idea: I want a 3 door option where the left side is 2-door SUV and the right side is 1-door truck with a lengthwise half-bed.

Biggest takeaway for me was that in the coming months they'll load pricing of the Slate Truck and all accessories into the Slatemaker so we can build and price our custom Slate. That should give us a lot more to discuss (and for some here, more reason to complain...You know who you are ;))

I think a lot of people have a misconception that "Early Adopters" simply throw all caution to the wind and jump on a new product just to be seen as cool and trendy. Sure, there are always those guys, but most Early Adopters are rational people at their core. It's perfectly reasonable to have...

I don’t think it’s really about “adapting.” Some people just prefer a different driving feel. My experience with both the Mach-E and Lightning taught me that 1PD is a style choice, not a skill test. Comfort and confidence matter more than forcing yourself into a mode you don’t enjoy.

I've owned a Lightning and a Mach-E and I've been active on forums for both. The topic of 1PD vs 2PD is always very polarizing. I'll just say this; There's no one correct answer. It's 100% a personal preference. Every person will have a different experience depending on the vehicle and their...

My guess is that it's a mount for a camera or test equipment. Something like this:

Man that's an ugly little truck. I want one. 😎

Food for thought: Thousands of people in my area will spend $30K+ without hesitation or complaint for this. It's the best-selling UTV in the US. 90% of the time they just ride it around the neighborhood. Occasionally they haul it on a $4,000+ trailer for maybe 5-10 outings a year. And...

Here's how I take off the doors and store them so they don't get scratched. After I hang them on the scaffolding, I roll them into my garage and cover them with moving blankets. If you don't have space for that, lots of guys will make a rack to hang them on a garage wall and use various covers...

No screws, "Legodad". Just line them up, push firmly, and they snap in. ;)

What I said was that Jay Leno's Garage subscribers probably know little or nothing about it. Not that they have't heard of Slate. The implication was that they would most likely learn something new about it. I think it's fair to say that most of us here learned something new, therefore it's...
