I don’t know where, but somewhere on this forum it’s posted that Slate plans to let all reservation holders take a test drive once they’re ready.

The news feed on my phone had an article 5 days after leaving stealth mode. Wasn’t looking for a vehicle, but preordered that day.

Website just added a metal sign. Bought one for my garage to go next to my Studebaker one. (South Bend native)

Only two cuts. That’s the best short video they’ve produced. :p

That’s the spirit! Bluetooth is an adequate low cost solution for many and some of us would not use anything we don’t install ourselves. Everyone wins! I rode in a friend’s car with Bluetooth and every text booped through his speakers. That would drive me insane, but some folks don’t mind.

Personally, I’d sooner mount a record player in my truck than listen through Bluetooth. At least my “dropouts” would be analog :rock:

I guess this article DID warrant its own thread. :p Thanks to whoever gave me credit, somehow?

You’re right, @Dorbiman. The customer pick up seems new to me too. I was in a hurry to post before my lunch break ended.

Found this on my news feed. Nothing new, so I’m adding it to this thread. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2025/09/slate-autos-sub-30000-ev-pickup-is-due-next-year-heres-the-factory/

Go Boilermakers!

My fastest Carr was a ‘74 LeMans with a Pontiac 400 in it and I don’t think it was as fast as they say the Slate will be off the blocks. I’m usually the fastest car on the highway around Seattle in my ‘08 Prius so maybe I just don’t understand how nuts people must be in other cities. 0-60 in 8...

I hope you’re right @Dorbiman. I can only find the electric window upgrade on the Slate maker and I wouldn’t trust it to be accurate.

From what I’ve seen, you’ll be leaning over to push the passenger side button to roll the electric windows up/down. It looks like the “upgrade” just adds a motor and button where the crank was. I haven’t heard anything about the passenger side being controlled on the driver side. Could be wrong...

Folks could have gotten a Studebaker EV in 1902: Studebaker hated gasoline autos because they were “smelly and noisy,” and resisted going with petrol until the market settled on it. This one could go 80 miles on a charge. Imagine where we’d be now if this idea won out.

New content as promised. Way to go @EverythingSlate Looking forward to the next one!

Looks like the Slate has slots where you can fit in boards to allow sheets of plywood/drywall to lay flat above the wheel wells. Photo credit @jwocky The wheel wells are tall enough that you’ll be going over the sides after a half dozen or so sheets so strap tie downs would be appreciated...
