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

    I’ve been looking for a minimalist vehicle. Never considered the Maverick.
  2. Slate is "confident in our plan -- [tax] incentive or not."

    You would think Trump would want to help the reindustialization of America.
  3. What was your first vehicle?

    Mid 60s VW Cost $35 had a wrecked front corner. Fixed it up. Loved it. As basic as it gets. Why I like the Slate. After a few years it got totaled in a snowstorm by a big Plymouth. But still have a girl…58 years and counting! ❤️
  4. Another pessimistic viewpoint video - "Is the Slate Truck a Winner... or a Total Flop in the Making?"

    This guy doesn’t understand what some of us have been looking for. As a teenager I loved the Roadrunner. Basic, no frills, muscle car. I loved my old Geo Tracker, basic, crank windows, no AC even. Finally someone is listening. I’m ordering the Slate as is! No options! I’ll probably just...
  5. Bigger may not be better when it comes to the battery.

    Makes sense to me. My slate would just be an around town truck anyway. We have another car for trips and a full-size pickup for pulling the boats.
  6. Why Doug DeMuro Thinks the Slate Truck Will Fail

    I don’t see this being an only car except for rare situations. But it will be idea for us. Retired. Kids gone. We have a Lexus for road trips, a big old pickup for towing boats and currently a 2 seat Smart Fortwo which has been fun and great for around town. But it’s about 18 years old and...
  7. Another pessimistic viewpoint video - "Is the Slate Truck a Winner... or a Total Flop in the Making?"

    Is a slow charge like plugged into a regular wall socket or plug into a 220 outlet better? Or doesn’t it matter?
  8. Another pessimistic viewpoint video - "Is the Slate Truck a Winner... or a Total Flop in the Making?"

    Re the battery. I only have an electric scooter (sit on type). I’ve had trouble with the batteries but have figured it out. With the Slate and it’s type of battery will it come with instructions? Eg. Should I let it run down before recharging.? Is a fast charge or slow charge better...
  9. Is there official word on where Slate stands on "Right to Repair"?

    Never having had an electric vehicle I’m going to need lots of suggestions re charging. Only to 80%. Let it run low before charging? Leave it plugged in all the time it’s not being used? I hope Slate gives lots of good input re this.
  10. Is there official word on where Slate stands on "Right to Repair"?

    I’m with you. I would be replacing my 18 year old Smart Fortwo. Hopeful that this Slate will come together as good as it seems to be. This would be a perfect around town and to the beach vehicle. It will join our Lexus RX350 (road-trip car) and old Dodge 1500 pickup used to pull our boats.
  11. Gas vs Electric cost

    Thanks. I’m not sure if FPL has off peak rates. But I will check that out!
  12. Gas vs Electric cost

    We have a 30amp outlet for when my son visits in his RV. Will I be able to plug my Slate into that just like it is? With only a plug adapter?
