Feel you on that last line but the gap years of Millennial and Zoomer. According to Reddit I'm both lol.

Fair enough, I thought you meant from the available options on the configurator lol.

I would imagine this starter pack was designed for that question: https://www.slate.auto/en/slatemaker?starterPack=lucky77

Most of the aftermarket EV Performance upgrades I've seen have been targeted at Tesla. Unplugged Performance one of the most notable companies for that. Even with a Japanese branch that supplies a racing team of Tesla's for JEVRA (Japanese Electric Vehicle Racing Associaiton). I believe they are...

Tough part for Ionna is that Tesla has such a massive headstart where they took a lot of the best locations. There's so many Tesla stations that they were basically able to force all other American EV's to adopt NACS as their charging standard just by allowing them use of their super chargers.

wonder if there will be updates that you can download to a usb drive and plug into the slate or something?

I believe Slate has said they are designing the dashboard to have easy installation of a double din aftermarket radio. Then you have the option of the Bluetooth Speaker mount for your own speaker or their built in premium speakers option.

I'm drawn to the Slate because I think an American Take on the Kei Truck Concept was cool: Cheap, Utilitarian, and customizable to how much or little you want in it. Plus I think part of me likes that it goes against the grain of what EV's are being more and more tech focused and putting the...

Elio Motors didn't have the same level of funding or brand awareness that Slate currently has. It's hard bringing a car to market but Slate has the best chance in my opinion of doing that imo. But they really need to come out by 2027 since all the legacy manufacturers are developing more...

My Prediction: AWD Drive Slate - International Expansion with Right Hand Drive Model - 4 Door Slate XL - Achieve Profitability - Slate Car/Sports Car (Affordable car that brings back the classic tuner/ricer culture from the early 2000's but with a modern twist).

Biggest Win for Slate would have Standard Range Blank Slate start at 24K and Long Range Blank Slate start at 28K. But I agree I think we are likely looking 25K Price Ideally for the Blank Slate but they don't want to promise that yet.

My expectation for a Blank Slate Standard Range is 25K-27K. It's a hard sell for a bare bones truck at 30K. Either way the key for Slate is going to have the most attractive monthly payment financing options.

Honestly that's going to be key aspect to Slate's success their conneion to the brand as well as developing a community.

You're right Slate should be easy enough to use the old fashioned way and the back up camera will be a helpful tool for the blindspot from the bed. But that doesn't change the fact that if it's cheap and small reviewers are not going to be kind to it. Slate has a tough job with the Blank Slate...

Currently it seems like Slate plans on making most of their money from add ons that can be bought throughout the life of the vehicle. So if they can still make money on a vehicle even after it's 2nd or 3rd owner there's a built in incentive for Slate to make their truck as durable and reliable...

Makes me wonder if slate's frunk will have a drain so you can put ice in it. Definitely not needed for the first model but would be nice if they have one or have it in a refresh model

Makes me wonder if the Bluetooth Speaker Mount is an option that actually decreases the price of the Base Slate truck.

If these are successful also expect Ford to bring the Puma over the US and maybe create an EV Maverick.

Just here to support Bench Seats as an option at the very least.

I disagree to an extent, Slate being basically an American Kei truck and going the minimalist route is one of the appeals of the truck and honestly will likely be the majority of Slate truck owners. Where the configurator is just a question of how barebones of a truck you actually want. But...
