    Slate Auto Walkaround from Fort Worth Texas showing (February 27)

    The guy I talked to at the event made it very clear these seats aren't even close to what will actually be in the final car. So don't get too attached.

    Bench seating for front

    I see no reason it couldn't be an accessory and priced properly to cover development cost. Just like every other accessory.

    Fort Worth Showing - Who's Going?

    Yeah, I wanted to ask a followup question on that but the guy was talking pretty fast and then I forgot. This is the way.

    Slate at Fort Worth Stockyards - photos & impressions. First deliveries Nov-Dec 2026

    Regen braking non adjustable ? Deal breaker for me.

    I've driven 3PDs (I'm assuming that's a manual) and most of the time I only used one of the 3 to slow down, as in engine braking. Only time I use the clutch is to change gears or panic brake.

    AM/FM Radio is a safety issue

    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
