That's exactly what I am afraid of. I am not a numbers cruncher but it's easy to see the hand writing on the wall. I wasn't one of the earliest reservations. If the factory is going to have the capacity for 100,000 units a year how long will it take to reach that number? I doubt it will be...
Don’t add to the vehicle cost for everyone. If you want it that’s what Slate is about, They build it and you make it yours by adding the items YOU want. Not what you want everyone else to have.
Heck it’s a better way to haul plywood than a guy I saw with OSB strapped to the roof of his car with one strap. The wind caught the top sheet and ripped it in half. was driving on the interstate.
DIY is what I like. I had a CD player go bad in my Silverado and installed a touchscreen radio that had to have an interface module to make it work with my truck. It was difficult to use and the radio stopped working. I thought I would buy a used OEM. That’s a joke! It was locked to th...
What about AIBs? Potentially offering a significant higher energy density. They just seem to potentially offer so many advantages. First no lithium. Breaks free of China monopoly controlling most of the lithium production. I’ve seen several reports that Tesla is ready to put them into...
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
