I've never used gemini, only ChatGPT. I kind of like what the former produced.

I have dibs on $24k for the base, $27k for the extended battery. Which puts both in the "mid-20s" they have been touting.

Yes, 600# total. That's 250# for the boat, 250# for the trailer, and an additional 100# for the boat box and extra gear.

Something to tow my boat.

Oh wow... I put in my pre-order on day three and don't expect to see the truck until Spring next year. I'd love for it to be sooner of course... They have said that max capacity of the factory will be around 150k per year and they have over 160k, possibly as much as 180k, reservations. Sure...

Honestly, I'm surprised you're surprised. Back before touchscreens and custom radio mounts, the first thing many people did after buying a car was upgrade the head unit (and often the speakers as well). Why on Earth would Slate want to install something that so many people replace with...

It was in the Jay Leno interview.

I watched the repair pal video "selling" service centers on doing Slate work... The upshot is, if you have a repair pal nearby that already has a High Voltage Certification (ASE or equivalent), then they will likely sign up for Slate service since it would be no additional cost to them. I...

I asked them about a documented API so that independent developers could write apps. The response I got was that they hadn't really thought about it, but it would really add to the DIY ethos they are striving for.

I'm waiting for the tow package to be announced and priced. I have two trucks in the maker. One is fully tricked out like I want, and one only has the things that would require replacing something (bumpers, wheels, LED lights, etc). I'll price both with the big battery and small battery and see...

I plan on just taking my car down to CarMax. I was a car salesman for 2 years and I'm not interested in picking up that hat again, even for a couple of weeks.

At 14:50... "They're aiming for a price point between 20 and 25 thousand." I grant that was not one of the Slate employees who said that, but it warms my heart.

My 2015 Kia will refuse to lock if the fob is in the car, and refuse to let the trunk lid latch if the fob is in the trunk. I expect the Slate will do the same. I had an Altima that would lock automatically when you walked the fob out of range of the car. I hated it and haven't found such a...

I just saw a YouTube video about the subject. If a charge can get you to the top then you will be fine, it's mostly regen on the way back down.

Don't let anything I say dissuade you! Like sodamo said, I don’t know my a@@ from hole in the ground.

As I understand it, a single freight car will hold something like 10 trucks, which is also about the load of a auto-hauler... They have said that your spot in line and location in the country will both figure in on when your window will be... I expect that a large percentage of their orders...

Not mentioned anywhere, just my supposition. I seriously doubt they will be last in line though...

When talking delivery, remember the fleet customers who will likely get early dibs...

FYI... I asked them a year or so ago about a tow hitch option and they said to keep an eye out on the maker it will be added there. Here we are less than a month out before pre-orders begin, and still no tow hitch option. So, I asked about it.

""" As your delivery window approaches, we’ll let you know when it’s time to: Pick wraps and accessories. Select financing and finalize a purchase agreement. Choose how to take delivery. """ The only thing the $300 gets you is a solid delivery window. Choosing accessories come later although...
