Video of just the Slate Interview: Be sure to watch this one and like the video to support Slate and TechCrunch!

Would be cool if Slate had a glow in the dark style wrap if possible.

Yeah that’s interesting since I think the Fastback will be a popular SUV kit option but when it comes to a cargo kit I feel like the slightly greater storage offered by the Squareback makes more sense.

Oh I see what you mean. I agree, your idea would be much more doggy friendly.

Yeah I think we are suggesting the same thing

Currently the Slate Auto Cargo Kit as seen above (and from other images of it I’ve seen) seems to be the Squareback Kit but with panels where the side windows are. Which is great but I think it would be a missed opportunity to not offer the Square Back Top with the Windows as a Cargo Kit option...

I agree I'm sure there will be dedicated thread on here and reddit that go over what aftermarket radio they think is best for the Slate Truck. But this idea is more for the consumer who isn't on these sites and might not even know this option is available to them.

Slate Auto design philosophy is built around radical simplicity for the base Blank Slate and allowing the consumer what they want and don't want in a vehicle. One area that might prove to be a detractor for some is the lack of a radio. For me it's not a big deal I use my phone for my audio and...

Slates most difficult time will be in the first few years when production is limited. But the more they get into the hands of consumers and 2nd or 3rd owners get their hands on them, the more the Slate Truck is going to sell itself.

I think a Fully Built out Slate will easily be in the 40K+ Range. I also don't think most people that have one bought all of it on Day 1. But I don't think most if anyone will buy every single accessory available though.

Now that I think about it we are putting a lot of focus on the towing, which is understandable since it’s the first time we’ve seen it. But I don’t think that was the purpose of the footage otherwise it would have just been showing the utility you can have despite the limited towing...

This thread is more of a discussion about what was discussed in the video posted. I would recommend making a new thread post to discuss about vehicle to load capabilities. I would also recommend posting in this thread if you haven’t already...

You are seeing this more as trim levels and options instead of what they are which is accessories. The only option is a standard range and long range battery which is likely due to the battery being the most expensive component in the vehicle. So offering a cheaper option that has less range but...

This was a video I shared on Reddit a while back, it’s a fun video to see how people from other countries view the Slate Truck:

BEV’s are a very small market in Japan so there isn’t much interest in making them right now. Electric Kei Vans are seemingly started to be looked at so if those are successful we might see them one day.

The reason Slate succeeds as an EV is because they always say the least interesting thing about it is that it is an EV. All that means is that it adds to Slates long term affordability.

Making it an EV fits into Slate's philosophy of long term affordability and reliability. But it also was important for the scalability pitch to Investors. In Europe the current plan is to be BEV only by 2035. East Asia has similar plans but are more open to hybrids. North America has cancelled...

https://www.utvdriver.com/story/utv-news/mutiny-goat-electric-4x4-truck-concept/ Honestly, hesitant to post this since you can't really even call it competition yet since they don't even have a prototype yet just a concept. But bringing it up since the concept is similar to slate. Their plan...
