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

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?

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

I don't think a scissors jack would be able to lift one given the weight.

Why not call it a midgate?

Begin with the fact that answering "undecided" or "TBD" is perfectly suitable for an answer right now and they may consider some questions as feedback in a particular direction if needed. Will there be underbody aero-panels? On the left of the steering wheel, is there a slot for a speaker...

Vehicles can be towed on a dolly with the rear wheels on it. Just have to lock the steering to do so.

That tailgate picture is of the Canoo pickup tailgate. There are videos of it in action (cgi action though) where the tailgate opens in two then the extender slides out and there is a fold-up section which completes the end. The whole assembly adds 2 feet to the bed length. I have no idea how...

So how about one like this?

I'm not sure about the fastback, but I think they intend the SUV kit to be a flatpack and should stack easily on the side. I saw in a video from the launch that the sides and top were separable panels.

I think I will end up installing a NEMA 6-20 outlet since I don't know how much extra capacity the breaker box has.

Depends on how "creative" they are with their initial sales.

So who's getting pumped for crank windows?

To preface this, I think Slate should focus on and release the Blank Slate before considering another model. That said, eventually they will very likely have to make and release another model, and I would like this thread to speculate into that possibility. My guess would be a 2-door long bed...

At the launch event they wrapped one in about an hour, and from one video I saw it only took 2 people to do it. So I figure about 2 man-hours to wrap, maybe 3 for someone not used to it.

I once owned a Chevy Malibu that had both disc and drum (disc in front and drum in back) but primarily used the disc brakes to stop. The drum were only used if really needed. Brakes are needed to keep the vehicle stationary when parked.
