From what I remember from the Rich Rebuilds video it felt like a maybe. There’s been multiple videos of people getting hands on with Slate and saying that there looks like there’s room for a front motor already built into the Slate Prototypes design. Jay Leno also mentioned something about the...

Agreed but the Slate is already clearly been built with the idea of adding an AWD/4WD Option in the Near Future don't think we will need to wait for a Gen 2 or Slate XL for it. Question is should a Slate XL be a Full Size, Mid Size, or Maverick sized vehicle? Either way definitely think they...

That’s a very good point, if that is the case I still think if Slate is making it an easy install for double din radios. They should have some kind of mount that could be bought or easily 3D Printed for Single Din Radios. That way an uniformed buyer that is just using the Slate Builder and...

Something else that hasn't been confirmed before this article is apparently there will 1st party stereo accessory options. Makes me wonder that me mentioning in a YouTube Comment that Slate's PR Guy was reading had an effect, since one of the few potential issues I saw with Slate was the fact...

IMO if I was product planning 2 Door Slate Truck -> AWD Option -> 4 Door Slate XL -> Small Slate Coupe or Sedan with a Hatch/Lift back trunk and an 80's body design -> Modular Slate Van

I hope they go with the side mirrors on the second one if they don’t noticeably impact range, love big side mirrors on my truck.

Never had an a single cab truck but I always just had my dog in the passenger seat of extended cab truck. Would be awesome if Slate offered a Dog Friendly Element like Accessories SUV Kit Package one day.

With this being said if you don't need AWD, don't mind RWD with Snow Tires for winter, or in general RWD isn't a dealbreaker for you and you are a reservation holder: Buy the RWD one because if too many people wait for the AWD version, we may never see it. Which is why I thought they were going...

If you’re not an early reservation holder it’s likely 2027 for you.

For me it's Affordability and Customization as the Top 2. If I could pick a 3rd it would be the fact it's Made in the USA. The least interesting thing about the Slate Truck for me is the fact that it's BEV but that just adds to it's long term affordability.

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...
