Will these shops be distribution points? Will there be introductory price incentives to get mods done at time of delivery? What has been bugging me; What becomes of the original tires, bumpers, etc. if we choose those options? On our own to sell them? Exchange program?

Utilitarian. It's what I want. Not fast, no fancy interior, it gets me there basic controls. I love the tech of my Model 3, and it's great on a cross country trip. But when I bought a small freezer and had to drive it home strapped to the roof with the windows down...not ideal.

Yes, and I like the cab as plain as possible. All I want it easy access to 12 VDC (and not just using (lighter plugs). If I wanted a show piece pick up, I would get that. I need a work truck to haul a couple of bails of straw, bags of dirt, rocks, shovels, paint, cement, trash...stuff you...

I have used a NEMA 6-15 adaptor for my Tesla 3 for the past 7 years. Charge rate is 11 miles per hour. Usually enough to top off after a day of driving (60 to 110 miles/day). I plan to use it with the Slate. My point? It's barely level 2, but cheap to install since it does not require heavy...

Whoa there cowboys! Here in the motor city shops have to have certified mechanics before they will even touch your car. True, a steering knuckle is rather standard across brands, but the specialized components of an EV will require a service tech with the knowledge AND access to the manufactures...

At one of the events I asked about the radio and was told there is room for a single DIN. But I keep haring people say double DIN???? As one who has installed many after market radios and knowing a little about the tooling issues of a new product line...I recommend waiting until Slate in in...

I think the "under-frame" (so called body in white) will become the most valuable "reclaim part". With that you have all the rolling hardware and depending on your skill level, you could make it look like just about any vehicle with bolt on parts.

As some have already pointed out some mods are exclusionary to others. My plan is to get the base truck- I am leaning toward the large battery for to cover future degradation, winter driving and a better resale if needed. I expect the small battery version to be ~$23000, large ~$26000. Based on...

I follow a number of EV and auto related You Tube channels. At the time I was interested in the development of the Telo. The reveal was suddenly announced so I watched it. The Slate hit all the right notes for me. To me it is a side X side that is Highway legal. Perfect for trips to my weekend...

$$$ It's all about the $$$. Price out the door with std and extended battery. Price of accessories. None of which will be known until production starts. (I believe that is what is known as a fact of life.) Exact specs of the dash mounts so that 3D printed mounts for radios, speakers, etc. can be...

Over 7 years of EV (Tesla) ownership and I am done with ICE (ICEV is the worst of both worlds).The fact that Slate is a stripped down small pickup perfect for yard work and home DIY projects makes it, for me, the perfect second vehicle.

To take this "One Step Beyond" - I would not be surprised if Slate catches on, that some aftermarket starts to do custom Slate panels. Give it more of a streamlined 1940s-'50s look. Might even help with the milage. Maybe throw in some fuzzy dice? In reality what will be needed is a Slate service...

Amen! I have them on my Tesla 3 (RWD LR) and we liked the performance so much got a set for my wife's Honda Accord. IMHO they outperform the cheaper snow tires here in Michigan.

Hmm? I thought the backup camera would be in the bumper. In the handle makes it useless when the tailgate is down, and that also means to remove the tailgate will involve electrical connections-AKA failure points. Am I wrong? I do know this is the beta, I am waiting to see the detail on the...

There appears enough room for a drop in dump bed. Like found on some side X sides and the cheap Chinese golf cart style pickups. The space already exists under the bed for the mechanism. Future idea.

The plan is; I get the basic Slate to use as a pick up, wife will get the fast back for running around. We may hold on to my Model 3 for trips.

Being the proud owner of several Moto G phones...been there, done that. One has a massive collection of tunes on the microSD (Several Xcrountry trips and have not listened to it all). Those phone have the FM radio chip, the app allows you to plug in headphones (needed to use as an antenna) and...

Boomer solution; Back in the day when I borrowed my dad's car I used a transistor radio...AM only. Dad didn.t "waste money" on "needless junk" like a radio in a car. My solution not only worked for me but also my buddy, who had a "Bug eyed" AH Sprite that also lacked a radio.

The Bluetooth problem; I have a couple of sons who somehow managed to survive the teen years and grew into fine upstanding adults. (Despite my best efforts.) However one retained a taste for grunge/punk/metal and every time he comes to visit, before we even leave the airport he has hijacked the...

Right now I found my old AM radio from a 69 AMC Rebel, still works and will be my test device. (Yes, it will work in an EV, they had plenty of noise filtering.) My eventual choice will be from a company called Retro Radio...AM/FM, Bluetooth, USB MP3 and plug for wire speakers. These have push...
