Not sure how it popped into my news feed or facebook but I saw it April 25th. The more I read about simplicity, efficiency, production, low cost, DIY awesomeness....I was hooked. I've been grumbling about cars and trucks getting unnecessarily sophisticated and costly for years. Way outta my...
I'm sure someone is gonna get all "practical and critical" about this but stop. Before ya do let's have some fun with this. A LOT OF FUN. Slate is all about creativity and DIY. Jeepers mod, hot rodders mod, 4x4s mod, VWs mod. Slates will mod !

There is a feature on Slate's website that compares silhouettes of Slate to a few current vehicles out there. Found it handy. After seeing a Slate in person in Detroit, I say it compares in size to Ford Bronco Sport (you know, Bronco's little brother)
