  1. Received my gift in mail from Slate Auto - concept sketch

    I thought we already sorted that out, David? They don't believe you exist until you show up with your smiling face and a suitcase of cash next Thanksgiving? ;)
  2. Bench seating for front

    Agree, though they have been hearing about a bench seat want from us for 8 months? That would change many immediate wants for SUV back seat imo.
  3. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    Dude...I *like* my cherry-topped sugar fantasy about a plastic truck that I can let a teen learn on and runs solely on electrons. Don't rain on it too much with your logic and facts and fancy engineering degrees...else, I'll "Scooter" you (block your content). Just sayin'
  4. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    Come on now. Those are often self-inflicted, Francis. :cool:
  5. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    So you're saying that, generally speaking, you don't. Good.
  6. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    But what if you really do suck, Scooter? Then its apropos?
  7. Dear Slate - you need to show these things before I'll buy

    I hear ya. I was being silly, given Bezos’ involvement in Slate, but your points are well-received. I rather meant like Amazon-branded Slate parts…100% controlled by Amazon as there are only so many parts. if I’m Bezos, that’s a quiet condition of my $$$$$$$, but here I am pretending that...
  8. Parking Assist Technology Demo Video by Slate Auto

    Oh snap. I'm old enough to remember seeing these on old cars...
  9. Slate Tailgate Pad accessory revealed -- with Mountain Bikes carried on pickup bed tailgate

    That’s what they may be saying about my Slate when I roll up in my ā€˜Hood….
  10. Parking Assist Technology Demo Video by Slate Auto

    Wait! Is your dad actually MY dad? We could be brothers?
  11. New base-model Teslas have no radio

    That’s awesome. Ground Hog Day - ā€œI got you, Babeā€¦ā€
  12. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    This the same problem I had before we upgraded. I had a 2016 PHEV on the same circuit as a fridge and separate freezer in garage. Started tripping the gfci and then no power to freezer for hours in the middle of the night. (Not good when you consider the possible cost of frozen meat.). When...
  13. Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    In retrospect, I'm glad I chunked in the cash 3 years ago on 2 EV lines into my garage. It was eye-wateringly expensive, but it was done to code and the panels are balanced and I used one of them for 5 months when I had the Lightning, and I am using the other one in the other part of the garage...
  14. Another day, another influencer. Kim Java

    Love your optimism...and you're not wrong.
  15. Slate Fastback in Dark Gray

    Just put some AT tires on it and pretend that it is?
  16. 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...
  17. 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...
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
