  1. Q&A with CEO Chris Barman (Dec 16, 2025). Slateforums gets a shout out 🙌

    What you say makes sense. But for me, who now lives in Florida, I guess it won’t be an issue. 😊. Merry Christmas! 🎄
  2. First drive review of Slate truck coming on Jay Leno's Garage!

    I think the wheels painted white, especially on that truck, would look great.
  3. Q&A with CEO Chris Barman (Dec 16, 2025). Slateforums gets a shout out 🙌

    Yep. Like I said, much of the time 4WD is not needed. But like you said, there are times when it is needed. My son lives in a place where without 4WD he might not make it out of the neighborhood.
  4. Q&A with CEO Chris Barman (Dec 16, 2025). Slateforums gets a shout out 🙌

    . Being raised in Michigan in the 50s and 60s I don’t get the need for 4WD! I know it’s handy sometimes and maybe even necessary at times but we never had it and my current old pickup doesn’t have 4WD. Most of the time there’s really no need for it. As Click and Clack the Car Talk guys used...
  5. Slate and Telo have similar advertising strategies

    I would love to see some of the Slate University content! Re charging, maintenance, adding options, etc. 👍
  6. Will the Slate’s 8 seconds to 60 mph be adequate for safe highway merging?

    Back in the day (1960s-‘70s) O-60 in 10 seconds was pretty good! 0-60 in 8 seconds was pretty great! I don’t see any problem with the 0-60 time and even the top speed. Honestly, how often would anyone need anything faster? All looks good to me.
  7. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    We have a 30 amp plug on our house for when my son comes to visit in his RV. I’m thinking I could use that for my Slate. Will have to do some more checking on that. This will be my first EV.
  8. What level of DIY are you planning for your Slate?

    I plan on painting the wheels, the grill and the top white. Kinda like some of the new Broncos. Love that look. No other modifications.
  9. Steel Wheels (Silver) and Fastener Hidden Behind Wrap + Swap to LFP?

    Re the color of the wheels, I too haven’t been a fan of all black either. But I plan on painting my wheels white soon after I get it along with painting the grill white and maybe the top. Kinda like some of the new Broncos. I love that look.
  10. Slate fastback open-air topless version in DC at Hook Hall!

    I’m looking forward to seeing one in person. But I’ve called Slate a couple times about different things and the people I’ve talked to have been wonderful! I want to buy a Slate just to help support them!
  11. What I like about Slate.??

    I was thinking the same thing about the Slate being a great first car for a teen or college bound kid. In fact I’m buying mine thinking in 6 or 7 years my now 10 year old grandson would be ready for a car and I could pass it along to him. I’m 77 years old so who knows how long I’ll be hanging...
  12. What I like about Slate.??

    Totally agree! Thanks for posting. I hope Slate stays strong and has a bright future. I think many of us feel like you do.
  13. Documentary: How a Slate beats the heat (hot weather testing / towing)

    so happy to see the Slate handled the heat so well! I live in Florida and it will see plenty of heat! Can’t wait! 👍
  14. Documentary: How a Slate beats the heat (hot weather testing / towing)

    . Really happy to see good results with the heat. I live in Florida and heat is an issue. Sounds like the Slate will handle it well! 👍. Can’t wait!
  15. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    That makes sense. But I’m going bare bones so modifications won’t be an issue.
  16. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    Thanks. I pretty much did that when I bought a new little Honda Civic back in the early ‘80s so I’ll probably do it again with the Slate. Been waiting for a vehicle like this for a long time!
  17. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    How could anyone buy something totally unseen, or not sat in or not driven? I would hope Slate has some kind of plan for this!
  18. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    I definitely want a Slate and am on the list but I really need to see and sit in one (like I would buy and not a prototype) before I buy it.
