    Wrapped Slate SUV on display at Motoring Coffee LA (until mid-July)

    I answered my own question and it was "no, you can't look inside." The windows all around were blacked out. It was nice to see one in person though. I didn't take many pictures because there were already pics posted. I did get a bit of a fuzzy close up on the seams of the wrap. The...

    Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

    Where I live it's generally understood you don't leave anything in your car when it's parked and if you do, expect it to be stolen when you get back. For that reason alone I'd never use my tablet as a screen in the Slate. I don't want to drag it around everywhere I go plus it would just be one...

    Wrapped Slate SUV on display at Motoring Coffee LA (until mid-July)

    Were you able to open it up at all and look inside? I'm going to make the drive down on Sunday to check it out.

    Expected price now "Mid-Twenties" for Slate truck

    I also really want one of these but you can get a brand new Prius hybrid for 29k that has a range of over 600 miles per tank, plus Carplay and all the fancy bells and whistles people love to have. I think long range is going to be about 30-32k plus taxes. I still have my pre-order in but I...

    Your reservation gets you a Slate test drive in 2026!

    Sometimes complaints can be good. When people post about an issue there's always someone who has had that issue and can help solve problems. I've saved a lot of time/money thanks to these type of forums.

    Hoping for a Saturn like buying experience.

    I don't remember that either. We had 3 Saturns in my family and all I remember was that they had the $9,999 deal for a Saturn SL. Kind of crazy to think of a time when a brand new car was under 10k.

    Your reservation gets you a Slate test drive in 2026!

    I don't want to take over too much of the Slate forum thread but if you head over to the JLwranglerforums you can read up about all of the issues with the 3.6. I wish the Slate was coming out sooner. It's going to be a long wait.

    Your reservation gets you a Slate test drive in 2026!

    I put in my reservation because I see the writing on the wall for my Jeep. After 108k miles the 3.6 Pentastar crapped out on me last month. I'm putting in a brand new engine but who knows how long it will last. Stellantis/Jeep has the worst quality control and least reliable vehicles.

    Sound bar - factory mounting location under dashboard

    Here is the summary of the proposed bill. So if it passes any Slate manufactured after that date would be required to have equipment that can receive AM radio. At the moment it looks like it's just been put on a calendar for debate in the Senate but that was a few months ago. Will be...

    Sound bar - factory mounting location under dashboard

    I feel the same about using an iPad as your interface with the app. No way I'm leaving an iPad in my vehicle and then having to drag it around everywhere with me is also not appealing. I love the idea of a real volume knob and wireless carplay. On a side note about having infotainment there...

    Anyone have a wrap on a car now?

    If anyone is curious I got a current estimate from my wrap guy and it's $5500. If Slate can do it for less than that then it's a good deal.

    Anyone have a wrap on a car now?

    My current vehicle (Jeep Wrangler) has been wrapped for 6 years in 3M vinyl wrap. From a distance it still looks great. Up close the wrap is coming up around the edges, along the bottom as well as has some gouges and bubbling in various places. I'd say the first signs of wear showed up around...
