    Slate Charging from Home Solar

    Not sure why you would need to put batteries in the back of your Slate since it already has batteries. You just need a device to output 120 or 240 volts, preferred, to Slate from your PV input. I doubt trying to charge a 52.7kwh battery from a few solar panels will be enough. Your house system...

    Slate could become “the Glock of trucks”

    Not likely. Slate has a bare bones truck. Not a lot can go wrong.

    Place Your Bets! (actual blank Slate starting price contest)

    I am buying a Slate because it is an all electric truck with 240 mile range and can be raised, has a lift kit.

    You have four solar panels giving during the summer around at 2.4 kWh each per day of 9.6 kWh. During the summer I am using 200 kWh per month that four solar panels will generate in 21 days. During the Winter I use 1000 kWh per month with four solar panels giving 1000/9.6=104 days. And then...

    Where did Slate confirm the 100k?

    There are no 100k reservations for slate. I have read that that occurred within the first two weeks. How would 100k people have learned about providing a reservation to slate within two weeks? And there would have been several times 100k to learn about slate so that they could give a...

    I doubt Slate has it. Where does Slate have it? Your link does not give a link supporting 100k+ Reservations. All we see are claims.
