Slate just replied to my inquiry about the Long Beach event. they said the event is actually happening. Exactly inside the show and entrance fee is $15.. Haha! That’s almost 1/3 the amount of my deposit on the truck. They also told me that the Long Beach event list had been mistakenly removed...

I'm at the show, now. No sign of Slate and event personnel no nothing about the showing. I checked the Slate site and this event is now missing from the schedule.

Great! Big parking lot and easily accessible a few blocks north of the 405. The swap meet is in the parking lot and draws a lot of visitors but the parking lot should be able to accommodate. After, checkout the former Boeing C17 hanger on the west side of Long Beach Airport where Relativity...

I already have a Tesla Wall Connector. If you own your own home, a hard wired level 2 charger is the way to go. A level 2 mobile charger is good but it may not charge at the rate of some hard wired chargers but muobile is a good option if you have an available 240V outlet. It’s best if this...

I reached out to Slate and they agreed that the timing and location setup wasn’t spot on. They did say there would be more dates and locations for viewing in the LA area, starting in the next few weeks. I like the key word, locations. Based on my attendance of new car debuts, you need more than...

I drove to the Los Angeles showing in Compton, CA and was a little disappointed. It was Friday rush hour(s) traffic and also Halloween. I left work, early, in Orange County. Trying to get there after work was a bear in LA traffic. A friend of mine was coming from a different direction in the San...

How does this differ from the aftermarket installations of the 70’s and 80’s? Have you worked with Slate regarding specifications and fitting? I was a teen owner of a new off the lot ‘73 Econoline and I experienced the pleasures/woes of an aftermarket pop-up sunroof.

Except for the bigger battery option and a tablet mount, I’m keeping the order to a Blank Slate. I do have a packaged roll of “Go Fast” black racing stripe from the 60’s. I’m thinking of applying it on the driver’s side hood, roof and tailgate. It will still be stealthy looking but it may...

I’m excited that Slate is coming to Southern California. Hopefully, they are thinking of multiple dates and locations. Tesla would put on events at their service centers for owners and those interested in EVs and they were overwhelmed by the attendance. Crowds and parking were crazy!

One! Just one. Oh, and we just sold it yesterday!

The problem with purchasing a vehicle from any legacy auto maker is “base price” is just a fantasy. Targeted base price s like a dartboard where the base price is the bullseye and the bullseye is just a microscopic dot in the middle of the board. Try going to a dealer lot and purchase a model...

This proposed Ford EV pickup is still a four-door crew cab. I’m waiting for that traditional or old style truck with a two door cab and one row of seats. The media keeps saying that the public doesn’t want a two door truck anymore. I think that the public has been convinced by marketing that...

The proposed rear seating area appears to be under a removable which is partially part of the front of the bed. If an owner has no plans to add rear seating, what if this space could be accessed through a removable and lockable cover for some additional secure storage? Alternatively, access...

I love how he said the Slate brought back memories of his Ford Ranger. I felt the same way when I saw that photo on the flatbed. That was when the Ranger had two doors, two seats and a livable ride height.

Actually, I don’t think I would consider this extension of the bed as being a long bed. Looking at the bed profile, that rear quarter after the wheel well is unusually short. I wanted to know why that quarter wasn’t extended to give the bed a few more inches of length. At this point in time, my...

With the bed length at 5 feet the tail gate of the bed seems to be very close to the wheel wells. What would prevent the bed from being extended another 4 inches or more like the Toyota Long Bed?

We’re anxious like all other prospective Slate owners. Carry on!
