Barely worth mentioning local TV news station WANE 15 News YouTube clip regarding Slate, it's only 24 seconds long
Slate Auto secures funding that paves way for pre-orders and manufacturing of EV truck WANE 15 Night

Looks like the t-track accessory rail is along the bottom lip of the storage. Iām hoping thereās RAM style MagSafe charging accessories or mounts I can install that curve away and up from the storage bin door so they are still accessible.
You didnāt miss it, really would have been good if they could at least get a message out. Showing that thereās somehow working together. Even if itās just cover dressing.
This is a video from Truck Camper Hybrid, looking at Camper Shells for small trucks like the Slate.
Seems like the bed length and width needs to be considered for larger space areas. Small manufacturers Iām sure are looking at the sales potential of vehicles like the Slate. All for options, big...
I had to look up the video of his from 11 months ago.
Donāt think heāll be impartial on the Slate.
In his mind, itās already a failure.
And he already thinks Slate is ālateā giving him a prototype to āpreviewā. Let him stew until a production ready unit is available to review.

Dodge CEO Matt McAlear -
āI think the biggest thing that we need to start doing is...
Yes! They didnāt have to answer that question. It boggles my mind, especially if they had Jay Leno already lined up.
I donāt really see Demuro propping up prototypes and prefer his takes on newly released and old vehicles.
I feel like giving a Slate that's not a production unit will be a disservice to Slate and his audience. Considering Doug wants to "review" and not "preview" it. He's already got a hard on for bashing Slate.
Wouldn't mind him getting a final version and bash it then, if that means getting one of...
I looked it over again and someone pointed it out in another forum.
Left is the symbol lights for the Slate.
Right is likely just the drive modes.
Center is the baby display we know and not sure if we love.
Hard to see but makes complete sense.
Had too much copium that itād be a bigger...
Seems like a bigger dash display from what we usually see.
Compared it with the Slate configurator and a video from YouTuber RegularCars of the dash from 4 months ago.
I feel like this will be in the cards.
Slate focuses on a few items core items and fun items. And tie in Amazon for the rest.
They have partnerships with Hyundai and expanded to used cars (Hertz among one). And work with Ford for certified cars.
I donāt see this to be a stretch for Amazon to...
Saw this Ad on YouTube showing off the āoptionsā for center glovebox area with phone, speaker, tablets; like a pizza.
Can see these on the configurator of Slate already, but interesting to see the ad showing potential of options.
For now, good to keep it simple in the Ad.
For later, get me...
These videos arenāt for us, haha. Itās a marketing video for the youths and the folks who may be interested but not sure if a startup truck can last.
Slate wants to assure folks that their truck can last for miles. At least thatās what they want to portray.
Crowds like us need more than āšŖā...
Generally, donāt have an idea what I am looking at. But I decided to take screenshots of the sped up video of the teardown. Cool to see the frame of the truck at the very end of the video.
They took apart the front and back.
This seems to me an old video of the Motoring Coffee shop from months ago, back in August. The video doesnāt show the truck until 5:23, but itās more of his thoughts on the truck and the old website. Maybe it took a while for the YouTuber to edit and upload the video...
My thought was, going by what Slate mentioned about repair, wraps and accessories.
have Slate focus on the safety accessories in house.
But leave the fun stuff to other companies and manufactures.
Slate is working with a wrap company for wraps and install.
Slate is working with a repair...
I like the layout much better, but itās not mobile oriented so was hard to navigate. Could still use some work but leagues better than before.
For the audio, I think Slate should go no more than a DIN or Double DIN option and have the users have at it, with decent wiring and power options.
