  1. Slate announces Tesla supercharger access + 4,000 service / repair shops RepairPal partnership!

    You make a couple of interesting points that I'm experiencing now. I just traded my Lightning (in a fit of despair b/c Ford could NOT figure out how to fix it and I was tired of it sitting in their shop) for a PHEV SUV. I used the Lightning every weekend for legit "truck things". Now I'll...
  2. Slate announces Tesla supercharger access + 4,000 service / repair shops RepairPal partnership!

    To be a contrarian, if I put on national guard gear for a weekend and dress and function like a soldier, I'm not always a hero. I take off the extra gear (the SUV kit), and I'm a plain old plastic 2 seater truck - that can be flat towed. But, to say that a refurb Wrangler (ICE) is the same as...
  3. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    Which part? The thousand bulbs plugged into a single circuit (Clark) or Cousin Eddie in the street draining the RV into the storm drain? Both hilarious.
  4. Slate announces Tesla supercharger access + 4,000 service / repair shops RepairPal partnership!

    Well these are 2 bits of interesting news. It certainly starts to flesh out the skeleton of "how is this all going to work IRL?". I'm not a particular fan of Meineke, but know that I pass one every day commuting.
  5. OK, so this is dumb, but hear me out....

    Well...I hadn't thought of a lifted (and Carolina squatted) Slate, but now I have to imagine it. Thanks for killing these next 5-10 minutes for me.
  6. Turning "I do" into "hell yeah" -- Slate open-air wedding truck

    6 sec clip of blue and white Slate pulling some cans with flowers in the back, suggesting a wedding reception get-away vehicle.
  7. Tailgate Flap

    In my house, we call that phenomenon, "Thursday".
  8. Tailgate Flap

    I was thinking the same thing. They are common and cheap and seem to work pretty well.
  9. Documentary: How a Slate beats the heat (hot weather testing / towing)

    Agree! Thank goodness I don't have to worry about....oh wait, I'm in GA...yeah, heat.
  10. You can go fast or you can go far, but you can't do both

    Same for me….my round trip with the two littles is 34 miles daily. A bench would be perfect. But suv kit and open air would be fun 4 months per year.
  11. How and when did you hear about Slate?

    Slate Hearse modification would be out there, but hey, that works too!
  12. How and when did you hear about Slate?

    You heard the angels too?
  13. How and when did you hear about Slate?

    It's funny. I pre-ordered same day I read into it also. The plan and ethos made sense and I wasn't going to miss $50 in 2 years, one way or the other.
  14. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    I buy 1-2 vehicles every year (I have 6 drivers), and I don't test drive any of them. They arrive at my house and I do a "confirmation drive" and that's that. I don't miss the nonsense at the stealerships. In fact, the last 2 vehicles I never even spoke with the sales folks on the phone...
  15. OK, so this is dumb, but hear me out....

    I am tracking 100%. I would be the nerd that installs an extra retractable storage shelf from my garage ceiling...
  16. Fiat half off?

    Final nail in coffin. Gotta love Canadians.
  17. Fiat half off?

    Against another Fiat, it does great! Against an Expedition….I’m skeptical.
  18. Fiat half off?

    God bless you. I'm always envious of riders....seems like great fun. I wish I didn't live amongst the gigantic-vehicles-waiting-to-squash-lesser-vehicles. My 20 year old daughter was in a terrible wreck in her VW Bug on her 16th birthday (8 hours after getting her license!). It wasn't built...
  19. Fiat half off?

    I happened to look it up on Consumer Reports. Yikes, they scored it a 40. Stepping quietly away from the table.
