    Regenerative Braking and RWD...

    Most of my vehicles have been RWD manuals and used engine breaking far more than my brakes. So same basic concept, but instead of making heat and noise it's charging the battery.

    AM/FM Radio is a safety issue

    I think it would be nice if Slate had the antenna already integrated. Such as in the windshield.

    Yes, they call it the "Cargo" kit.

    Carbon fiber body kit for Slate Truck

    Weight has a very small effect on range. Now if enough weight is safed it could help with cargo capacity.

    Documentary: How a Slate beats the heat (hot weather testing / towing)

    If you precondition before unplugging helps a lot. Not much different than letting an ice get to operating temp before driving it. You could also put a diesel heater in the bed and duct it into the car. You'll be real warm then.

    What limits the Slate to 1000 pounds towing capacity?

    That's a beefy setup for only 1000lbs

    New base-model Teslas have no radio

    The only time I've used a radio in the last 10 years was when I'm driving the farm truck to get feed and that's because that's all it has. And the reception is terrible from interference.

    News: Slate exploring different battery supplier. SUV kit price to be $5000 range

    I think this is very good info if you plan on this being your only vehicle. If you have a second car in the household you can use that instead. This does get away from the "everyone has their car and no one drives mine" idea that's prevalent in the US. But that mindset is not very practical or...

    News: Slate exploring different battery supplier. SUV kit price to be $5000 range

    Several articles and videos have been posted on here about how extra weight doesn't effect range very much. However, it would definitely hurt 0-60. Of your other power draw comparisons the heater and AC would probably be the only noticable changes in range.
