  1. Amazon should make a tablet with GPS

    Your tablet would work without adding hotspot to your phone, if you preload "Here We Go" maps or similar program with downloadable maps. Download the ones you need in advance while on WiFi, and no need for a cellular connection, the GPS receiver will work fine to do the navigation.
  2. Amazon should make a tablet with GPS

    Amazon tablets may not have GPS, but don't most Android tablets from other vendors have GPS? So they could be used for navigation? And while I'm using an Android phone for navigation, when out of cell range, you can either pređownload maps for Google Maps, or use other systems like Here We Go...
  3. Cargo Kit Option with Windows

    Cargo kit with windows please. No sunroof, but roof rack option would be nice.
  4. Slate model or 3D .stl file

    So is there someone making Slate model trucks/SUVs for sale? Or are there .stl files available for 3D printing? Where? and which ones are the best deals?
  5. DIY vs OFT (Open For Theft)

    Seeing some of the latest pictures, with the exposed bolt heads holding things together, made me wonder how secure the Slate will be? Might you come out of a store, and discover that a body panel or three are missing? Might panels be loosened, such that thieves could use a long reach tool to...
  6. Fused 12 VDC access in the dash would be nice.

    Lots of external 12V accessories exist, so having a standard "cigarette lighter" (now often referred to as a "power point") socket would be useful, at least as an option. Which makes me wonder if there is still an ashtray in modern cars, and specifically in the blank Slate, as I haven't seen...
  7. Swing-Out Tailgate Mod for the SL8

    I'd forgotten about that station wagon tailgate. Thanks for the reminder.
  8. Swing-Out Tailgate Mod for the SL8

    Just spotted the term "dual-purpose tailgate" described by the person showing off his dump trailer as opening hinged on the sides or to swing down like a standard tailgate. Intriguing concept, but when thinking about the Slote, acting as a pickup or an SUV/Cargo, it might be nicer to have a...
  9. Did anyone else get a phone call from Slate today?

    That number works out to 833-44-SLATE on my dialpad....
  10. Swing-Out Tailgate Mod for the SL8

    Could be useful for some folks. Would like to see video of how that works. Having standard tailgate and ability to switch to swing out, if relatively easy, could be better overall for different use cases. Likewise for SUV and cargo, folddown & up, or door options, might both be useful for some.
  11. Swing-Out Tailgate Mod for the SL8

    Interesting idea, especially for the SUV and cargo options, where it would be a pro, together with another option for swing out doors that might be able to use the same hinging mechanism. A con, is that a folddown tailgate can extend the bed for longer loads, which wouldn't be possible with...
  12. Poll: Slate's second model - what do you think it will be?

    As a current owner of a sweet Scion xB (first generation), I'm keeping my eye on the Slate (cargo or SUV) as its eventual replacement.
  13. How to convert a reservation number to a sequence number?

    Is there a way to find out how many reservations are ahead of your own reservation?
  14. Slate Reservations Pre-Order Tracking List & Stats 📊

    Too bad the Cargo option is not listed among the body style choices.
