  1. Did the "big bill" just end EV Tax Credits for Slates? [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Agreed, also the US is already behind the rest of the world in so many things this will just set us back even further. The same people argued for keeping horses when cars were invented and stocked up on incandescent light bulbs when LEDs took over. It's why this country can't manufacture...

  2. Did anyone else get a phone call from Slate today?

    LOL I added the number from this thread and lo and behold I got the call today. Picked up and talked to a nice lady from California. Made small talk for a bit and she told be about an event this weekend in Warsaw that happens to be 100 miles from me.

  3. Will you have self control when choosing add-ons?

    Extended battery will probably be the only option I have from day one.

  4. Outsourcing the frame build.

    Real trucks get most of their tow rating from the strength of the frame and since the Slate has little to no tow rating I assumed it was a unibody. I could be 100% wrong and would like to know.

  5. Just got this email from Slate: SIGNED. SEALED. DELIVERED?

    At the top of slateauto web site click on "Your Account" then its in the "Contact Details" box.

  6. Has anyone deciphered reservation numbers yet?

    I'm exactly 100 miles from Warsaw Indiana. I hope this helps me LOL. Ill be able to drive mine home.

  7. Poll: Slate's second model - what do you think it will be?

    Like the slate but much larger. Like an 8 foot long bed with 2 door. 5 foot bed with two row seating. Some people seem to hate threads like this for some reason.

  8. Basic questions about one pedal driving (Full regen?)

    Can I assume that when "one pedal driving" the car will achieve maximum regen when you take your foot off the gas and you are decelerating? Can I also assume that pressing the brake pedal on occasion will be beneficial to keeping the calipers from seizing?

  9. House introduced bill to phase out $7500 federal EV tax credits 👎

    I would be pissed if the EV tax credit is maintained for the 200,000 unit figure but I get pushed back in line by Slate offering to let people jump ahead in line by investing (risking) more money.

  10. Pre-wiring from factory?

    I wondered the same thing about fog lights. Running the wires will be the hardest part.

  11. If the Slate succeeds I hope they do a full size truck version next

    4WD option, actual towing capable with a bed large enough for a flat sheet of plywood. Yes I know it will cost more but be more capable for people that need to do more work or need more space for people if they SUV it.

  12. I hope it has 2 inch receiver not for towing though

    Putting a bike rack, cargo rack and especially a bed extender for longer cargo in the bed (long pieces of lumber) is a real benefit.

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

    I live a hour and 50 minutes away from the factory. Or 100 miles. That's within the small battery range with the AC on. But I need the bigger battery just to be on the safe side.

  14. Fog lights pre-installed or kit for self install?

    I'm a very do it yourself kind of guy but I'm wondering if it would be better to spec out the truck to have the fog lights already installed or get the kit and DIY? I'm wondering if running wires and installing switches will be needed or if a computer needs to be connected to turn on the feature...
