    Slate Open-Air version spotted driving and parking in Nashville, TN [video & photos]

    It was my understanding that in order to put in the back row of seats, one must remove the wall between the front seats and the bed. If that is done, then the roll cage is needed for stiffness. The SUV and fastback covers are just relatively flimsy panels. Reports are that the back window of...

    Playing devil's advocate here, comparing Slate Truck vs. Ford Maverick

    Well, I will keep the upgraded Maverick and Compass in mind when the time comes for me to buy, but there is nothing indicating that they will be less expensive than the Slate, especially once you figure in the about $3k delivery and dealer fee.

    Dashboard Speakers come standard, and more audio options in the works [confirmed]

    I'll chime in with my guess about those switches. Many accessories will require power. I saw in a video one of the prototypes had a connector in the slot where the double-din stereo would go. So my guess is that those "accessory switches" are for turning the power on/off to the various fuses...

    So many posts about, will you still buy if the EV credit

    I have four criteria... 1) new vehicle, 2) can tow without voiding the warranty (only need 600# tow capacity), 3) 200+HP 4) RWD When I'm ready to buy, I will get the least expensive vehicle that satisfies the four criteria above. As it stands right now, that will be the Slate even without...
