    Does the current spike in fuel prices increase the appeal of the Slate?

    My company paid $125 to fill up my work vehicle today. That amount keeps my family rolling in 2 MachE for 2 months and we average about 1000 miles per month per vehicle. I have also been following Used F150 Lightning prices. They have also gone up at least $3000 on average with fewer...

    How Long Till Delivery

    Depends on their delivery method. On submitting my order for my 2021 MachE once builds started schedung I was issued a Vin and build week by Ford. Deliveries stateded in January and my build date was in May. In February I was goofing with Autotrader and a dealer 300 miles away had my exact...

    Radio idea with bluetooth, FM, and knobs

    Well, if it is a driver one could always put a rechargable 12V pack in the dash for about $30. Is the rig going to be 48Volt? Looking to be a fun project either way.

    Pre-orders starting in June! See OFFICIAL confirmation from Slate Auto

    I preordered our 21 MachE. Bought the same car as I ordered in February as a customer refused. Really low vin number. My preorder was not delivered until June and I refused it as I did not want 2 cars the same color. Plan on ordering all the goodies but for home install if possible. Hope the...

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    This thread makes me sad. If feasible, do it right from the start. 120 volt charging is setting oneself up for disappointment..

    Cargo Kit Option with Windows

    I have a 4 part partition/cage in our garage from our Ford Explorer we bought online and bolted together to fit the space. Good for bringing our Rhodesian Ridgeback in the car because he wanted to be lap dog at 110 lbs and with a 2 year old in a seat it was a no starter. One bonus about...

    How adventurous are you going to be orderiing your Slate?

    We shall see what this next year holds. Build and price makes a big difference. If base price stays low and add on bits do not nuke the deal I could be getting a lot of neat stuff. If I can buy it all in a crate and bolt it on in my driveway even better.. I thrive on busted knuckles.

    Poll on what kind of vehicle you want

    I actually built and priced one of these before getting our second MachE. I could not justify the $10k more it would cost to own a less useful vehicle.

    What would you tow?!

    I would put my hitch platform on it to haul fuel cans to my boat and maybe camping gear if I can not cram it in the bed and Frunk.
