    I hate the dashboard!! (and I propose a redesign)

    I'm assuming they're modular, mean they can be installed wherever you want in the dash. Also I believe those are Bluetooth or USB speakers that work with your phone in the phone mount. I'm just making an educated guess.

    We haven't seen behind that panel, so not sure if it's open behind of if it's solid with stuff behind.

    What's the Slate's maintenance like?

    2023 I almost bought a used bolt with a brand new battery pack and battery warranty for 15,000, but they refused to take off the GPS until after I left, they called and said they would. But I was already done with them at that point and didn't feel like driving an hour again to go get it. Plus...

    What kind of performance upgrades do you think will be available for the Slate?

    The company that is producing the motor has a 200kw/268hp motor that looks like it could be swapped in. Also, you could also change the programming to get more power.

    What is Slate competing with for YOUR money?

    I was planning to buy the new bolt, if it looked decent and was a good price, but the Slate showed up. I can't imagine switching back, but we'll see.

    Closeups of Slate Pickup Truck (photos from Olympia Event)

    I heard that someone at slate that's working on the body previously worked on the jeep body. I haven't heard of them leaking so I'm not too worried.

    Most motors are happy at any temperature you are. The size of the radiator is important to keep it cool while it's creating power. If the motor is ~95% efficient when you're going down the highway using 15-20kw continuous, that motor will be putting out around 750-1000w of heat that the cooling...

    Article: Slate’s Truck was Designed to Break - And for You to Fix It (w/ Slateforums.com mention by Slate Auto)

    Oh I was saying their should be more room in the front vs the rear, so if the rear can be 3 wide the front can be. Maybe I misunderstood your previous message.

    Are you installing an anti-theft alarm / security system?

    Oh I thought all cars after something like 2005 had alarms, but maybe I'm wrong.

    Yes, the Slate DOES compete with the Maverick (and more!)

    Then this doesn't apply to them, my examples are the two extremes of "needing a truck".

    AC / Heater size & strength

    I heard the AC is sized for the SUV so if you do truck only it should be pretty cold

    I find towing a weird criteria. Like if you're towing often enough to warrant a bigger truck then that means it's business related and that's a different class of truck. If you might tow a trailer once a year, just rent one, it's so much cheaper. Exp: I had a college friend who said they wanted...

    Are you installing an anti-theft alarm / security system?

    Without the key the car is a big brick. What would this added alarm do?
