This is a good point too and I’m sure fleet sales and early reservation holders will be prioritized.

I feel like for Slates big wins are the following if they can convert 1/2 of their 160,000 reservations into sales then they will likely make the top 3 of BEV sales in 2027. If they only convert 1/4 of their 160,000 reservations (40k) they will still be in the top 5 and possibly the best selling...

To add some perspective for numbers though the Mach-E was the 4th best selling BEV in 2025 at 52K for the entire year and the 3rd best the Chevy Equinox EV for the entire year which was around $28K when the tax credit existed sold 58K in the country. So selling 50K units in a single quarter is a...

Slates Production capacity is only 150,000 per year so it certainly won’t even come close to F-150 sales and certainly won’t even beat Tesla Model 3 or Y sales annually in the US. They aren’t selling the truck at a loss so whatever number they came up with for sales goals is going to be under...

Oh I see yeah I fully believe the early adopters are going to be around 2/3 Slate Grey. Many of them are more interested in Minimalist Slate Grey Trucks. But as Slate gets more mainstream or used ones start hitting the used markets you’ll see the wrap kit figures start to change. I would not be...

Where is this statistic from?

Yeah this is how I interpreted it to it will be shipped to the Slate Factory in Warsaw, an affiliated service center, or wherever your house is if you want to wrap it yourself. People are going to buy more than one wrap kit if they get them and not everyone is going to have it wrapped at the...

The fact is also a lot of people here might be fine with Slate Grey Trucks but people like to have choices in colors. As I said in other comments this is an optional accessory but it’s an integral optional accessory to the point that ease of wrapping was a key priority in the exterior of design...

One important word in business is Scaling. Right now it seems this is just a place to make and ship the wrap kits. That doesn’t necessarily mean it will be the only thing this facility does as Slate grows as a company. They could expand it for other uses as it becomes financially feasible to do so.

In the long run Slate will want to be as vertically integrated as possible to keep prices down and pass those savings on to the customer. That’s likely why Slate is investing in this since while wrapping is an optional accessory the very design was optimized for wrapping so it’s an integral...

Not direct competition since they won’t be sold here but still fun to compare. Slate Truck Battery: 52.7/84.3 kWh Range: 150/240 miles EPA Slate Truck Price: Mid-20K USD Slate Truck Drivetrain: Single Motor RWD, Power: 201 hp (150 kW), Torque 195 lb-ft Slate Truck Payload: 1,433 lbs...

They traveled more last year, I think with it getting so close to production they don’t want to waste too much money bringing a prototype slate around the country for very little gain. They likely want to save money for bringing the production version around the country for reservation test...

We could potentially see some very crazy ICE Conversions of the Truck since while no EV to ICE conversion is easy, that Frunk probably has enough space to fit any engine you want in it.

There's an emergency key hidden in the keyfob of my lincoln potentially there's one in Slate's as well

You said "I'm not sure where "digital transformation" fits in with Slate's Bring Your Own Device engineering/design ethos. " I then told you that a critical aspect of Slate's Bring Your Own Device Design Ethos is the app. Then gave you aspects of slate business where driving digital...

Not an issue Slate has to worry about for the first generation of the truck there are still plenty of used vehicles on the road that support din radios and I know people personally that have installed them. Plus there also people who make more modern radios for classic cars for retrofits that...

For us they have an app that has always been a major part of their final vision of slate for a BYO Device (as you mentioned) infotainment instead of the traditional infotainment we see in other vehicles. Also from Slate's side of things they will have an accessory marketplace, Slate University...

Barman was a Legacy Auto Industry Executive though, she was a Vice President at Chrysler. Where are you getting this information that she was selected as CEO because she wasn't previously a CEO somewhere else, I haven't seen that before? If you have an article or video that you can share I would...

Maybe the only people who can truly know that are those who work in Slate. The fact is though Chris is still with the company, she is still a high ranking executive, and she is largely doing the same jobs we know she was doing during pre-production up to this point. They still see value in Chris...

Slate has been continuously hiring and opening up new positions that's been very clear on linkedin.
