  1. Slate makes the cover of Car & Driver magazine!

    Is that the entire kit? Seats, roll bar, and shell?
  2. Dark Blue Wrapped Slate Pickup w/ 20" Wheels, All-Terrain Tires, Roof Rack, Bed Rack, Running Boards @ Moto Social Club in Ferndale (Detroit, MI)

    Didn’t they say it would be precut and around $500. You could keep the backing to use as a pattern for the next wrap. I assume buying a roll would be less expensive than precuts.
  3. Slate Truck at Michigan Science Center's EV Cars & Coffee

    These videos are fine and dandy. But it’s time to learn something new. Just rehashing the original story is getting old. I try to watch the videos on YouTube but they are just a different face telling the same story too. Please tell us something new.
  4. Factory Delivery option

    I remember probably 50 years ago people talking about factory deliveries. But it doesn’t surprise me that has ended. Maybe it was just a myth. But why would you need licensing agencies? I am a big boy I can go to the DMV buy my tags, pay the taxes and show up at the factory with tag in hand...
  5. One thing I think might hold Slate truck back.

    Why would you say that? It has more HP per pound than my first car a 1972 Fiat 850 Spyder.
  6. Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    I’ve never had a wrap and most of them I’ve seen are advertising something so that’s another story. I’ll just have some learning to do. Thanks
  7. Slate Pickup spotted @ Pike Place Market (Seattle)

    I guess a seven pin would be a waste. lol
  8. Closeups of Slate Pickup Truck (photos from Olympia Event)

    Oh yea like the one that says don’t drink the battery fluid. lol
  9. Slate Pickup spotted @ Pike Place Market (Seattle)

    You can always get one of those LED strips that goes under the tailgate.
  10. Slate event in San Francisco @ Motoring Coffee 8/9/25 - photos & impressions

    I’ve found that the seats in a lot of newer vehicles are not as comfortable as in the years past. We had a 2011 Ford Edge and the seats were so much more comfortable than anything we could find. So I imagine the slate seats will be just about like any other newer vehicle.
  11. Is FORD Preparing to Release a SLATE Competitor?

    What I see is a “want-a-be“ pickup like the Hyundai. It would be okay for groceries or a run to the feed store. Definitely not hauling furniture home.
  12. What is your order?

    Of course my wish list will be modified once the pricing is released. I just hope it doesn’t get to expensive and I have to reconsider the whole idea. Can’t commit to the unknown. Extended battery Wrapped first Fiat color (free range egg yoke orange) Lift kit Center console Slate decal down...
  13. Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    Why is it that every wrap I've seen is a mat or flat finish? I know they have chrome wrap too. I am a glossy and chrome guy.
  14. Is the timing of Slate's rollout in Winter 2026 a good decision?

    Historicaly the next year model is released in October. there are some that have been released as early as July. So if the start delivering in October it will be called a 2027 not a fourth quarter 2026.
  15. License Plates

    I’ll bring my own once I have all of the required sales paperwork. I’ll just need the proper red tape papers and I’ll be on my way. I’ve driven from central Florida to northern Tennessee without any tag at all. I purchased the truck on eBay, caught flight down and drove it back home.
  16. Wrapped Orange Slate SUV and Pickup (with white roofs) inside Slate's pre-production facility

    The orange is the color I want. Just not in the SUV setup. Bring them south of the Mason-Dixon and I’ll be there.
  17. Solid state batteries

    It’s wishful thinking. It would be an advantage for sure.
  18. Solid state batteries

    What are the chances of a solid state battery being introduced in the Slate truck? I watched a video that Toyota will be introducing production vehicles about the same time Slates start hitting the road. They will charge in 15-20 minutes and have up too a 1000 mile range.
  19. Unrealistic Delivery Date

    It sounds like the modules will be out sourced and assembled in their Warsaw plant. I come from a refrigeration background and one manufacturer didn’t actually make their parts. They outsource everything and assembled it in their factory. For the longest time the only thing they made was...
  20. Introductions & Welcome Thread đź‘‹

    I would like to hear about off grid charging. I am That's why I left Michigan. I had enough of those winters.
