    The itch that Slate scratches, the one that it sort of doesn’t

    I had to look that up since I’m unfamiliar with the broncos mpg’s and yea, it’s around the same cost to charge for that amount of range.

    The itch that Slate scratches, the one that it sort of doesn’t

    That must be the hotels rate. The same way a hotel in a major city would charge you an arm and a leg to valet and park when they don’t have their own lot. Usually an extra $50 a day. Anyways, 40 miles of range should only cost like $7-$15 at a public DC charging station. Like I said, where we...

    The itch that Slate scratches, the one that it sort of doesn’t

    I keep seeing people saying that about EV’s. “What if I want to go on a long trip?” We’ve done this in our current EV. We just plan it out and stop at a rest stop that has DC charging stations. Plug in, use the restroom, eat, and got back on the road. I get it if you’re the type that only wants...

    I think I am “over The Slate”

    I don’t know if anyone mentioned this but the Slate comes with a charging cable to at is capable of level 2 charging. You’d just need a 240v outlet. Yes, you’d have to pay to have one installed if you don’t have it already, I just often see posts in other social media making charging an EV seem...

    Delivery to your home no matter where you live (confirms Slate Auto)

    I understand you guys are just joking, yet hopeful, but I still keep seeing articles about Slate with Jeff’s name in it as if it’s his company. Jeff Bezos has an ownership stake, but is only a financial investor for Slate and not owner or operator. He’s not involved in day-to-day management nor...

    Slate Website / Configurator Update + New Accessories and Parts

    I don’t know if anyone else mentioned but I see they moved the third brake light from the rear glass to the tailgate.

    Great Interview with Chris Barman: "Slate's Wild Idea To Fix The Auto Industry"

    I was looking into that too. I’ve read that vinyl wraps only last about 5-7 years. My sons got about 17 more years till he’s driving lol.

    Great Interview with Chris Barman: "Slate's Wild Idea To Fix The Auto Industry"

    Yea that sounds like what 3M 1080 wrap vinyl already is. Which is what is already used to wrap vehicles. I’ll watch when I can. It sounds like something else is specific to the slate other than just the pre-cutting.

    Great Interview with Chris Barman: "Slate's Wild Idea To Fix The Auto Industry"

    I admit that I have not gotten the opportunity to watch the interview, but I assumed the vinyl kits were the usual 3M wrap vinyl, but pre-cut. Are Slates vinyl kits different in other ways or was she just describing how wraps are for people who aren’t familiar?

    Possible Telematics Module

    It is frustrating but I still get it. You don’t want to give answers that people are going to run with and spread before production has begun. I mean, look what I did. Got an answer and went straight to share here. Which is why I think this seems like something that will be made available.

    Possible Telematics Module

    Yes that’s what I took from it too. An option for those who want it.

    Possible Telematics Module

    Bluelink. The digital key is within the Bluelink app as well but I’ve never messed with that.

    Slate Maker: World's Most Customisable 3D Car Configurator by Slate Auto & ZeroLight Helps Secure 150k+ Reservations

    Hey hey, I resemble that remark lol. I’m sure I’ll be removing a number of things I added in the maker, but at least I can tell myself “I can always do it later” instead of “oh well, looks like I can’t afford this car either”

    Possible Telematics Module

    We’ve got a Hyundai Kona EV and the app has always worked as intended and doesn’t cost a subscription fee. Obviously it’s a larger company that can afford to run it I guess. The slate fob already looks as though it can do remote climate start anyway but obviously it would only be at the range of...

    Possible Telematics Module

    I recently asked Slate how/if their app will work when your phone is not plugged into the car. Diagnostics, remote climate control, EV charging incentive programs that require date collection, etc. Here is their response.

    USB-C touch screen VS a tablet

    I was considering this too, however I still don’t know how I’d get it to work in the Slate. I would like the in-dash mounted speakers (if they’re any good) and they would need an aux input to plug in this screen, not to mention power. Also, if this will be using Bluetooth to connect to my phone...

    USB-C touch screen VS a tablet

    If the constant feed is the only issue, I’m sure there are work arounds. I just wanted to know if a double DIN would physically fit into it, but after asking in different ways to different reps, they’re not giving me any real details about that yet.
