    Radio idea with bluetooth, FM, and knobs

    I've had a RetroSound in my 1974 VW Karmann Ghia since 2011 and it has always worked flawlessly. Paid $230 for a basic radio back then, so this price doesn't shock me at all.

    EV owners could soon pay $250 annual tax to use US roads?

    In Washington State, hybrids are classified as EVs, so I'm paying this same tax for my Maverick which is only averaging 35MPG for me. There are plenty of ICE vehicles that get better gas mileage than that. It's so irritating.

    Problems you are worried about Slate having with the production prototypes.

    I’Il take a crack. I wanted a small pickup and a hybrid. Twenty-seven months and 19,000 miles I still love the truck.

    Slate isn't building the truck for us

    Actually, the entire post is clickbait.

    Slate first drive review video - Jay Leno's Garage!

    The only thing I learned is that they will honor DIY warranty repairs - an industry first. Pretty cool.

    Anyone Else Concerned

    Not concerned in the least. Also not convinced we'll see a 2026 delivery.

    AWD! Please!

    Sounds like Slate is not for you. I recommend you get your deposit back and move on.

    AWD! Please!

    This statement confuses me. Why wouldn't this assembly line be way more efficient than a typical one?

    AWD! Please!

    You're completely missing the build objective of this truck: a radically simple, low-cost electric truck that minimizes features and parts to keep the base price affordable, while offering modularity and user customization.

    Actively considering cancelling reservation.

    Me too. I put a deposit down on a Ford 150 Lightning in the first 24 hours and then watched a year+ go by as people who put deposits down well after me had their vehicles delivered. During that time I had a change of heart, deciding the truck was too large and too expensive. Purchased a Maverick...

    Custom seat covers & steering wheel cover for Slate by Madeline Ronzoni (Happy Rugs)

    This sort of design work is far more interesting to the average consumer than electrical diagrams and CAD files. As a career marketer, I think it's brilliant.

    What level of DIY are you planning for your Slate?

    Blank slate for at least a year. I really want to get a feel for the truck and how I used it before I commit to any changes.

    In my zip code, I have terrific options. I guess it's a case of your milage may vary.
