    Range, tow load limits, trailers, and EVs - SOLVED

    Biggest problem is that no EV allows charging while driving, so it won't matter if you tow batteries if you need it to get somewhere.

    From a design point of view, what limits the slate to 1000 pounds towing capacity

    Likely frame, since its capped to 1000 like some that used to have bumper hitches. Of course, it could be they haven't tested it since none of the protos have a hitch on them.

    Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    As long as the head isn't taking home 2 mil a year, I'm sure their financials are looking great.

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    They also said they sell adapters for other plugs.

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    I asked Slate about what chargers it would have and the response I got was a level 1 and a level 2 NEMA 14-50.

    Driver control for passenger window

    Having the driver window crank and a power one on the passenger is the configuration I want to use. I can't think of a vehicle that lets this happen.

    Does the SUV kit make sense?

    Assuming a rather rare scenario where the vehicle rolled onto one side and let's say the battery is on fire in such a way that egress through the other door is intolerable, the SUV roof has latches that lets it pop off and the occupants can leave through there. The rich rebuilds video shows...

    Update: Ford's EV 'Model T moment' Announced

    I read in some articles that Ford would use three (i'm gonna call them) megacastings that come together at the end. So this allows them to attach a truck bed or an SUV back meaning they can change the models more easily.

    Slate event in San Francisco @ Motoring Coffee 8/9/25 - photos & impressions

    I've seen it mentioned that it is for the dash brightness. Possibly push to switch between settings.

    Reusing and recycling accessories

    The idea is that the factory parts they replace pre-delivery could be sent back to the factory as those would be unused.

    Reusing and recycling accessories

    Ideally the dealer network they use to sell the trucks will send any replaced parts back to the factory. Although I can see some kind swap marketplace for other replaced accessories.

    Yes, the Slate DOES compete with the Maverick (and more!)

    For me the Mav isn't even on my radar for many reasons, such as reliability and extra tech. The one I have now is better than the Maverick since it can tow the Slate ON a trailer.

    Slate vs. Telo - Informative and FUNNY.

    I found his channel because of Slate. I watched this video before I realized it was a new vid.

    Will Slate provide an AWD Retrofit Kit for the OG Slate Truck?

    While watching the Munro video, I noticed the battery had three connectors, one for the charging, and two others. One of those is for the engine, but is there an extra one for an extra motor?

    Electric For All - Search For Incentives

    I checked that site and found out that NM offers incentives. The vehicle just needs to be 1) under $55,000 and 2) sold by a dealer within the state. Slate might have a problem with the second, since NM doesn't allow direct-to-consumer (exceptions exist though).

    Received my gift in mail from Slate Auto - concept sketch

    Just got mine today, thinking about getting a frame for it.

    Main battery questions.

    Doing it that way would require a HV hub to manage the charge/discharge between the two. Having it in one pack means that isn't needed, saving a part and the cost/complexity of it.

    Your questions answered AND 360 photos! (saw white Slate & met team members in Warsaw)

    Love the pictures. I figured a lot would be TBD this far out. Perhaps it will help them to figure out additions or tweaks for production.

    Confirmed: 4x4 all-wheel drive AWD planned for future Slate version!

    Considering that another motor would have to be plugged into the HV side, I don't think it will be user installable. Professional installation only.
