  1. Preorder Starts June 24 (email)! - How to Preorder Your Slate

    I think I lost my tesla deposit (1K) I guess it became a donation to tesla even if it was supposed to be refunded. Im putting in my non refundable deposit. Even if I dont end up getting one because they suck or something, 300 to reserve a spot for mid next year, Im fine with that.
  2. Slate production line w/ frames! Current status video (5/19/26)

    I predict that you are 100% wrong. AI is already giving massive productivity gains. The internet, the PC itself, the iphone all were massive disruptors. That being said some jobs will be lost, but others will be created.

  7. Slate Marketing is making me lose interest.

    I dont care who else is driving it or who the target audience is. If it works for me then it does. I dont care about image thats why I love that I dont have to pay for paint. If I dont have to pay for market too, thats great also
  8. Speculation: What Will Slate's second model be?

    1) For sure AWD, this is a relatively minor modification 2) expanded uses cases for the existing form factor (e.g. work van, minivan with rear entry, bench seat to expand front passenger seating)) 3) extending the bed, this is also a relatively minor modification 4) beefing it up to expand tow...
  9. Absolutely buying, but worried about this one thing...

    I use a hitch bed extender for lumber. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/PENSUN-Design-Foldable-Extender-Extension/dp/B09BQ59QZH The slate is also low enough it will be much easier to get things on to the roof.

    An EV motor is not "as difficult" to manufacture as an ice engine. An ev transmission is not "as difficult" to mfg as an ice transmission Ev doesnt have an exhaust, but in my tundra there are extra parts and machinery to reduce emissions, such as the secondary air injection pump. replacing both...
  16. Does the current spike in fuel prices increase the appeal of the Slate?

    Airlines should be buying futures to hedge increases in price. If they didnt do it, that is on them.
