    Slate Pickup spotted @ Pike Place Market (Seattle)

    I thought the same. Looks like the same configuration. At the Needle, I noted there was no front license plate mount. I asked the Slate rep if I just needed to drill some holes and he said I could either do that or join the movement mounting in California to just not put a plate on the front...

    Business Insider Article - who does the Slate appeal to? Which category are you?

    I’ll go with “collage graduate” since it makes me sound younger.

    Is there a 12v volt source in the frunk?

    Both. There is a 12V battery under the frunk cover on the passenger side and a few inches from that is a 12V cigarette lighter style outlet. The Slate rep would not let me look inside the fuse box which was also near by. There is also a 12V cigarette lighter in the dash between the center and RH...

    Is there a 12v volt source in the frunk?

    There was a 12V in the frunk of the beta Slate I saw at the Space Needle yesterday. Right next to the light on the passenger side. I was joking with the Slate rep about smoking and drinking out of the frunk. Having said that, this particular Slate did not have a drain hole for the frunk cooler...

    I’d take it with a grain of salt. This was a prototype and we don’t even know if these were hooked up to anything. Maybe by 2027 there will be some updates.

    Need FM Radio

    I thought of this thread when I saw a Slate at the needle. Looks like enough room for a double DIN and the compartment bottom can be removed for a LOT more space underneath for an amp, etc… There were 2 ISB-A ports on the left of the compartment and a 12V “cigarette lighter” in between the...

    Closer to 4.25” when you account for the flip up door. That’s just the opening. The bottom panel inside the compartment dropped down a few more inches and the rep showed me it pulled out and he was able to reach his hole hand down behind the lower dash. Could probably fit an amp AND a sub in there.

    Seattle Space Needle event - Slate truck photos, impressions, answers

    I don’t think so. I looked for the wire going to the door locks when I was discussing adding speakers to the door. The Slate rep McKay said the electric locks were not activated (not wired) because it’s a prototype. I think we’re seeing an early beta and everything should be taken with a grain...

    Seattle Space Needle event - Slate truck photos, impressions, answers

    I did not. I wanted to pull seats forward and take some photos but the Slate rep said the seat on this particular truck didn’t move forward (prototype). Of course he also said the steering wheel didn’t move and it did. He did say for the seats that actually do move, they go WAY forward, with the...

    The yellow Space Needle logo on the doors was a decal on top of the wrap but I’m pretty sure everything else was printed directly onto the wrap, including the photos of the Needle.

    HA! You’re right @Adam W Guess this finally proves you can’t believe everything you see on the internet. :CWL: Here’s a pic from my rejects to prove two of us were there:

    You were able to get some better outside pics with less people in the way. It had descended into more of a free-for-all by the time I got there. Fun to see the enthusiasm, but you know how some people are. I had a guy get in the passenger seat while I was in the drivers and he proceeded to stomp...

    Slate's Entire Marketing Campaign is Completely Wrong

    That makes so much sense that I hope it is true.

    How does the Slate turn on?

    My 2008 Prius has a slot that you can push the FOB into. I have never used it because the car knows the FOB is inside the car (my pocket). I have noticed the dealership always puts it into the dash, so I take off the leather sheath I have for it before handing the FOB over. I would expect the...

    DIY vs OFT (Open For Theft)

    This talk of wiring has me wondering: Has anyone seen inside the fuse box? I think the “white truck in Warsaw” thread shows the cover.

    Your questions answered AND 360 photos! (saw white Slate & met team members in Warsaw)

    Evtruth said the doors have a key hole too. So I guess the question is whether the ignition is FOB only meaning we have to carry both.

    I noticed the tailgate has a “traditional key.” Thanks for posting, evtruth. This was very helpful.

    Ambulance is spelled in reverse for your rear view mirror. Your camera shouldn’t be on unless you’re going down the highway backwards. :rock:
