Literally just started watching this video when and then got a notification for it from the forum lol

Apparently they were originally going to do it but from my understanding some of the female members of the Slate Crew mentioned they are less comfortable with the old school manual keys.

True which is why I give Slate the benefit of the doubt when they do give a concrete price or price range announcement. For those curious what we know on princing: Blank Slate will be Mid-20K, $500 for Wrap Kits ($250-$300 for Service), and the full SUV Kit will be in the range of $5000.

Maybe Slate could bring back this character for things like this but just not talking.

I’m under 30 years old and I have real-world experience with a manual crank window. So it’s possible. Gen Alpha only will if Slate takes off.

Cheapest 2024 Pro Master EV I see is 60K and for me it’s also not pickup truck. Rivian R3 is not confirmed to be launching in 2027, we don’t know the pricing, and again it’s not a pickup truck. Finally as a general rule you can’t take the price of a vehicle in one market convert to usd and...

I really wouldn’t have cancelled your deposit for this honestly, Slate is in a very good spot to make it to market and on time. This isn’t even close to making it to production yet.

You’re right but Slate is built around customization and will likely develop a community around it. This is just a taste of what people will do. If this is successful we are likely going to see some absolutely insane Slate Builds on Social Media and possibly on the roads which will help sell the...

Yeah certain markets it makes sense to build them locally. For ASEAN markets building in Thailand makes a lot of sense. South America is easy just build in Brazil to avoid their tariffs and then sell to other South American Countries. Same Philosophy with India and South Asia. For sale in...

If Slate and Ford’s 30K EV Pickup (also Telo) is super successful like the demand is what they thought Full Size BEV Pickups were going to be, then I could see Toyota bringing this over to the US Market in the Interim until they develop an EV Tacoma. The fact is despite the enthusiasm for the...

For that 2nd reason it’s why Thailand should be one of the first Asian countries Slate expands to as well as to Japan. Since honestly if you get a series of JDM Accessories made for the Slate Truck that will also benefit Slate sales in North America. Plus they have an easy path to selling in...

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...
