  2. Manual Window Cranks

    Really,about this time,I would take the slate with slide windows like in the movie" 2 lane blacktop"
  3. I hate the dashboard!! (and I propose a redesign)

    It's a blank slate....build as plane jane as you can. Then, continue to build it for years and years like VW did with the bug.Dont change anything .Don't give in to options...that can come with accessories and aftermarket support. Keep the base model simple....reliable....plain.

  5. Warsaw

    It would be great to hear when equipment starts rolling into the plant ....as things start to materialize I'm sure more components will be made in house but to start I'm guessing it'll just be an assembly point for various preassembled components shipped in. I see the plant has many docks and...
  6. Slate could become “the Glock of trucks”

    I'm more of a Ruger guy....does that count?😁

  13. Outsourcing the frame build.

  14. Outsourcing the frame build.

    The equipment to put this complicated frame together (flat panel laser,arbor presses,punch presses, robot welders and full powder coat line) would take a lot of money up front. I would think it would be more cost effective to out. source..just my thought.
  15. Outsourcing the frame build.

    Google maps has changed the name already on the factory to Slate. Has several train tracks...looks promising.
  16. Outsourcing the frame build.

    Warsaw plant has several train tracks leading to both sides of the building. Google maps has already changed the name on it to SLATE.
  17. Outsourcing the frame build.

    What company or factory will be building the frame of the truck? Will it be powder coated? Some kind of weather protection I'm hoping.
  18. It looks like SLATE has pathetic EV efficiency. (and a rant).

    It's a brick,not a sleek rocket shape.Wind resistance plays a big part in that.
  19. Door vent wing windows

    Not going to argue over bugs ..for sure they can come in...just doesn't happen very often. Have had wing windows in something my whole life...need a breath of fresh air...no noisy window to roll down ..regulate how much air you want .never saw a disadvantage to them. AC is great but would rather...
