  1. Which generation will be the biggest owners of Slates?

    Millennials buying it for their soon-to-be 16-year-old. Because it has newer car safety stuff, limits passengers and reminds of his first car……a Chevy luv…..
  2. SK On Battery Tech

    How does that battery stack up against other lithium batteries? I’d like something that is rated for more charge cycles than performance.
  3. The Unofficial Slate food?

    +1 for black coffee. I could see pizza, but I can't remember the last time I wanted a plain cheese pizza. I actually want a Slate. -1 on popcorn and bacon.
  4. Confirmed: 4x4 all-wheel drive AWD planned for future Slate version!

    I wonder how AWD EVs perform in deep sand or snow. I’m thinking of my Subaru, which lacked a transfer case. It would start to get hot when the snow was deep enough to push against the bumper. I’m talking about miles of driving in those conditions, where traditional 4x4 vehicles handled it better.
  5. Need FM Radio

    I’m ok with just having a phone for the UI. Right now I have a MagSafe charger on my dash where I stick my phone while driving. I think the only thing I will miss is the volume knob.
  6. Adding a screen for AA/Carplay is WAY cheaper than I thought it would be

    I’d be happy with my phone and a MagSafe mount if it connects to the speakers on power up. The only part of my radio I touch on a regularly is the volume knob.
  7. Confirmed: 4x4 all-wheel drive AWD planned for future Slate version!

    I grew up in eastern Oregon and never understood why the Portland schools got to close for 2” of snow when we were open with 2’ on the ground. Then I had to do a trip down I-5 after a moderate storm. It was rough. They don’t have plows, or at least not enough. There were ice ruts and huge checks...
  8. Confirmed: 4x4 all-wheel drive AWD planned for future Slate version!

    I don’t understand why this is so divisive. I’ve noticed over the years that some Internet communities are aggressive, and just straight mean. This forum seems to be heading that. It’s ok for people to have disagreements without insults.
  9. Confirmed: 4x4 all-wheel drive AWD planned for future Slate version!

    That’s great! I was thinking about my Slate reservation this week, and the fact that it’s only 2WD. What made me think about it was that we had a fwd Chevy Equinox rental car. It REALLY struggled to get up a loose gravel forest service road. Either I didn’t have great traction control, or I...
  10. So many posts about, will you still buy without EV credit [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Probably not. At 27k, It doesn’t pencil out for me in a spread sheet.
  11. Performance in snow?

    that’s very true about the tires.
  12. Performance in snow?

    I respectfully disagree with your perspective. While it's true that there weren't many AWD vehicles in the past and RWD cars performed adequately for most situstions, they can struggle in more challenging conditions like ice and steep hills. That's where AWD, 4WD, and tire chains really shine...
  13. Performance in snow?

    That’s true, snow tires do make a Huge difference. It’s just a pain to store them and put them on. But there are places I’d own snow tires, even on an awd
  14. What Would You Do if The Slate Truck Does Not Manifest?

    Actually the maverick is on my list. My first kid will be learning to drive in 2027, so the timing is perfect. I think the slate would be a great vehicle to add to family for local travel. My first car was. Chevy Luv, and this reminds me a lot of that.
  15. Performance in snow?

    As cool as I think the slate will be. It would not be my go to car if I lived in an area with a lot of snow and Hills.
  16. Could we add a i4 or a v6 later on? (I know it’s an ev now)

    I wouldn't say never., but I doubt it. I think we'd have see them become successful with there current projects before they would branch out. If they do it will be a long time out
