As someone that works in the manufacturing industry (mostly automotive) there are so many factors out of Slates direct control. People outside have no idea what a huge mountain they're climbing. So cool that they've reduced the startup complexity by eliminating paint and stamping and component...
There are still a lot of people that have not heard about Slate yet. I believe there's so many more people that want what Slate is aiming for. Numbers and info reveals are a tricky thing. Balance of momentum, interest, anticipation, excitement, curiosity. Stay focused.
KISS - Keep It Simple...
Anyone else make cookies? I'm better in the garage than in the kitchen. It was fun tho. My brother 3D printed the molds for me with food grade filament. Haven't got sick yet. Practice for printing parts for my Slate soon.
So many great reviews for Slate. Add Jay's approval and exposure....BAM ! Winner winner, chicken dinner ! Can't wait see the interview. Cheering you on Slate. My driveway is ready and waiting. 😉
This is a brilliant idea ! Fits the creative theme of Slate perfectly. Making the truck how you like it.
AND sending out the 3D files for people to practice before making stuff for the real thing. Applause, standing ovation on this one Slate.
For Easter, can we do Slate Auto egg wraps ?
OK so I went and it was pretty great ! (Yes, there was free food and drinks). Slate is about bringing your creativity to the product. That's what this event was about, showcasing some ideas to inspire. They had a bunch of interactive stations. The trucks are still prototypes so they dont let...
My bigger question...is there going to be a Slate truck at the event or is it about showing off ideas? I'm planning to check it out regardless. My wife is willing to wait for another event if they're not bringing a truck out.
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 !
I envision Slate rallies, Slate shows, Slate...
Keep the show location suggestions rolling in but be patient. There's more planning and logistics and permissions to line up than you'd think. They can't be everywhere at once. They may only have a small team and few trucks available to tour right now.
Definitely a great opportunity to incorporate EV charging at a multi unit building. It could be the model for future housing projects AND encouragement for Slate sales (or those other EVs too, I guess).
