For anyone that goes to a future event, can you take a pic of the inside of the key fob spot in the dash? I’m curious if it’s just a simple pocket or if there’s any tomfoolery happening in there. I forgot to take a look today

I actually really liked the wrap (without the Ember Goods livery). If they made it one piece so that the mountains didn't overlap the orange, it might be an actual consideration for me.

I made a suggestion that they make a toolbox to go in the bed of the truck that replaces the rectangular panel that covers the footwell for the rear seats in the SUV kit. Make it use the same key as the truck, and bolt into the existing seat brackets under the panel. I'd 100% buy it as a way to...

I didn’t get a ton of pictures from the Olympia WA event today, but it was so fun to see the truck in person! Lots of fun insights from the staff as well. 1) The midgate is planned to have an access / passthrough panel for skis, 2x4s, etc. It can be seen in the picture of the bed. It’s a...

No, they haven’t. I am hoping for that though, as in the interview between Chris and Munro recently, the $25,000 number came up a few times and was never hedged or corrected by either Chris or Eric, the chief engineer. It would have been really easy to interject and say “well, we’re targeting...

I'm curious if something like this could get modded in. I wouldn't, but it'd be rad to see someone do it, especially on an AWD truck. An 800 HP Slate Truck would be wild

It’s interesting that both are missing the little spoiler atop the cab (on the pickup) and at the end of the SUB top

I have such a sweet spot for Z3s. I've had a 96 Z3 with the 1.9L, and my brother owned an '00 with the 2.8L. Mine was manual, his automatic. Both were truly awesome cars, and I miss mine ALL the time. I'd own another one in a heartbeat.

Hey, maybe your E90 and the N52 is better than my old E36 3 series and my Z3. Both had to have rebuilt engines around 150K & 160K, and the E36s were notorious for troublesome VANOS. Please don't take my comments as an attack on you, BMW, or anything else. I'm just saying let's not pretend like...

Concern at this point seems silly. They’re showing off preproduction trucks full of 3D printed stuff (HVAC controls, phone mounts, etc). None of this is indicative of what will show up at your front door if/when you buy one. They’re hastily wrapped for each event. If anything I’m surprised it’s...

Interesting, what makes you think that? Is that the only cell that SK On makes here in the US? (Not being argumentative, just curious!)

Hmm. I'm reading the Slate forums drinking black coffee right now, so that gets my vote

This concern seems a bit of a non-issue to me. Jeeps have had removable hard tops and panels for decades, as has K5 Blazers, or any convertible with an optional hardtop (Z3, Miata, S2K, etc). If the concern is about the individual panels going over the Slateboard/unibody, that's a non issue...

I won't pretend like ICE engines and transmissions are just waiting to explode, but let's not pretend like they're just happy as can be for all 200K, 230K, 256K, or whatever miles. In that time you WILL have had to do spark plugs, coils, valve cover seals, timing belt/chain, cam seals, etc. At...

Unless the grade on the hill is extreme, I doubt the Slate will ever engage the brakes just going downhill. It should regen the whole way. One pedal driving in a Tesla, Bolt, etc will come to a dead stop on steep hills with only regen.

That's some great data. I have spreadsheets going for all of my vehicles, and am looking forward to doing a similar analysis in the coming months as our ID4 becomes our primary vehicle.

Our ID4 lets out a little hum when moving slowly, like in the neighborhood. I don't notice it anymore, but the ID4 is also has really good cabin noise isolation, so there's that. I also tend to not do much traveling below 15 MPH, so it's pretty much a non issue for me. Now that I think about...

On the flip side, there's so much uncertainty from a newcomer regarding what can and cannot charge at a Supercharger, that Ionna & Walmart opening lots of locations would be wonderful. When we got our ID4 we were unsure which ones we could charge at; any Supercharger? Only Magic Dock...

Honestly I doubt even a fraction of the reservations will convert into sales. It was the same with the Cybertruck, though admittedly that was likely due to the massive price increase. It's really easy to put down $50. It's a bit harder to put down $25,000

I'd prefer EPS just for simplicity. Hydraulic power steering is basically a solved equation at this point, but given time all hydraulic systems will leak. Shit, the PS pump on my Silverado has been leaking for like 8 years. I should really get around to rebuilding it at some point.
