  1. Slate Video: Lawn Tool Fit Check

    I haven't noticed any, but I'm only 1 year into EV ownership and other than a recall, haven't needed any service.
  2. Slate Video: Lawn Tool Fit Check

    My last 2 houses I took care of about 1.5 acres, with longer driveways that needed snow removal. Loved my diesel Deere! (now I live in a condo and I don't miss taking care of the yard, but I do miss plowing snow) Now that I'm in LA my chances of caring for that much land are probably lower...
  3. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    GM (and I imagine other makers)had front windshield dipole antennas from at least the early 60's through the late 70's. Very thin wires that ran up the middle of the windshield and then along the top. I feel like they were molded *in* the glass. then the antenna coax made the connection at...
  7. Double Din Car Stereo Aftermarket Head Unit / Radio Capable (confirmed by Slate CEO)

    Maybe Safelite will offer an old-school windshield antenna upgrade :rock:
