    Slate at Fort Worth Stockyards - photos & impressions. First deliveries Nov-Dec 2026

    I suspect that would be an aftermarket solution like Jeeps.

    Bed notches for crossbars / 4x4 wood useful to create platform, scaffold & more

    The Gladiator system is stupid simple. It's just a couple of hooks that shorten the cable. Fits right in with the Slate KISS principal...I can't imagine they would miss that opportunity.

    If It Weren't for Slate, I Would Get...

    The plan is to get a campervan for future road trips and the Slate would be my around town commuter. If I don't get a Slate, I'll likely just get another 2-door Wrangler for bopping around town and the occasional trip to Moab/Sedona.

    Taking the doors off and open-air kit questions

    As a Jeep guy, I definitely prefer half doors over no doors for a few reasons. 1 - I have a place to rest my arm. 2 - If it looks like rain, I can put the half windows in. 3 - Still VERY good views when wheeling and 4 - I just like how they look better. Here is my old Wrangler. In my old age...

    Hubcaps for base wheels?

    Same! Got bronze wheels currently on my Jeep as well as on my Slate in the builder.

    Slate truck build: official OEM lift kit, side steps, roof rack, bed rack, fender flares, alloy wheels 😍

    I've run a lot of different tires on my Jeeps and I always end up going back to KO2s. They last forever (over 60k miles on my current set), are great offroad, quiet on road for an all-terrain and relatively low weight (assuming the class C tires like I run). I'm in Arizona, so not a lot of...

    Who wants this battery in their blank Slate?

    You can place a reservation ($100) for the bike on the Verge website with an estimated delivery of Q1 2026. Since that is within the next few months, they better have a product to deliver shortly. I can't imagine that these are imaginary at this point.

    Special Q&A for Reservation Holders w/ Slate Auto CEO

    I just want a class 3 hitch for my bike rack.

    Will the Slate’s 8 seconds to 60 mph be adequate for safe highway merging?

    My CJ5 had the manual 3 speed transmission. I'm sure I'm likely misremembering, but seems like it's top speed was about 55 mph...or at least that was how fast I was comfortable driving it.

    Is this the blank slate color or is it a wrap?

    What is your order?

    Winter? Where in AZ are you from? :)

    What is your order?

    That was my original thought as well, but then I decided this isn’t going to be my vehicle I take out wandering. I have a Jeep for that. This will be my buzz around town vehicle/commuter, but I still wanted something unique. Maybe a bit of 80s mini truck vibe.

    What is your order?

    Something like this:

    What is your order?

    Initial thoughts: - Truck - Extended range (maybe) - Blacktop decal - Fender flares - Lowering kit - 20" bronze wheels/tires (will likely be aftermarket) - Center console - Door cubby - Tablet holder - All the speakers

    how many 2 door pickups of any kind are sold each year?

    I'm a Jeep guy and the only thing really competing with the Slate for my money would be a 2-door Wrangler. Unfortunately, you can't get the PHEV version in 2-door. Also interesting is that ordering a manual is $2500 MORE than the automatic. Edit - I don't know what I was smoking...the manual is...
