  1. The Shine is Coming Off the Donut!

    These journalists have done a deeper dive into the company and some of it's history. Great video overall: The questions after this should be "Why haven't they patented this game changing technology?" and "Can they scale before some big manufacturer can pivot to start making these?"
  2. Who wants this battery in their blank Slate?

    I watched this video last night, becuase I, too, am skeptical. The two problems I know of solid state batteries are expanding pouches, and materials. If they are really batteries, how did they overcome the expanding problem? If they aren't batteries, and are actually capacitors, how are they...
  3. Poll - What are you budgeting for Slate accessories?

    The blanker, the better. I put about 10k miles on my vehicle this year due to work from home. Accessories would be pointless for me.
  4. Slate tailgate by Stay At Home Woodworks

    Silly, but great craftsmanship.
  5. News: Slate exploring different battery supplier. SUV kit price to be $5000 range

    This sounds like "a whole lot of other companies suddenly dropped orders, and we're here to swoop up some cheap batteries". Which, if true, is awesome.
  6. ICE Raid in battery plant

    D'oh, I thought we were still talking about the Hyundai-LG factory. My bad.
  7. This Is So Boring Now

    Hawaiian pizza (aka: Pineapple and Ham) are the greatest combination of pizza toppings ever, and I will die on this hill defending them.
  8. ICE Raid in battery plant

    It's not fake news. They've paused construction on it: https://www.electrive.com/2025/09/09/lges-halts-us-factory-construction-after-raid/ Imagine if Ford was setting up a plant in China, and China suddenly raided the plant and sent all the Americans home on a plane. Do you think Ford would try...
  9. EVs will not be allowed on HOV lanes with only a driver after September 30

    Maybe you'll stop posting in iambic parameter?
  10. Report: Slate Factory Delivery Under Consideration! Would Take Place In This Room

    As someone 200 miles away, and farther north, I am well aware of what winter is. I also rode all the way into November last year, and started again in March of this year. Theres these amazing things called "Jackets", "Pants', and "Gloves" you can wear to keep warm! I know, technology, right...
  11. Report: Slate Factory Delivery Under Consideration! Would Take Place In This Room

    About 3 hours for me. That's a motorcycle ride. The problem is how do I get the motorcycle home afterwards. Uhaul trailer, probably.
  12. how many 2 door pickups of any kind are sold each year?

    You want to know if there's demand for small, 2 door trucks? Remember when the internet lost their collective mind because the $10,000 Toyota IMV 0 isn't available in the US due to chicken tax? God knows I'd buy one if I could, but I'm not waiting 25 years from now.
  13. New Information / Updates request

    But you're going to let the "flat rowing" slide, eh?
  14. Update: Ford's EV 'Model T moment' Announced

    Dealerships won't order 2 door models. If you want the cheapest $30k version, you're going to have to jump through hoops, I guarantee it.
  15. New Information / Updates request

    SEND A VIDEO FROM THE CAB OF SOMEONE DRIVING ONE. Road noise, wind noise, tire noise...how does it all add up? I need to know how big of a bluetooth speaker to order.
  16. One thing I think might hold Slate truck back.

    As someone who drove a 1995 Mercury Cougar, in all it's v8, rear wheel drive goodness, through multiple snow storms in Michigan: I can attest that it's not what you drive, but how you drive.
  17. One thing I think might hold Slate truck back.

    We're a 3 car family, on the verge of becoming a 4 car family. The slate will be the least driven vehicle of all them, but that's because it's mine and I work from home. I was honestly looking at buying a used Kei truck for as little as i drive, but I like the Slate more, and think it'll...
  18. Update: Ford's EV 'Model T moment' Announced

    Imagine if Ford tried this again: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Ranger_EV It's the only thing I can think of that would give Slate a run for it's money.
  19. Is FORD Preparing to Release a SLATE Competitor?

    First off: That yellow monstrosity looks like someone slapped a 3 foot bed on the back of an escape. So worst of both the SUV and Truck Worlds. Secondly, their manufacturing isn't great. Especially on low end vehicles. There's a recall every other week. And it's getting worse. But finally...
  20. Slate Coupe -> Estate (My Concept)

    I really, REALLY like this one. Thank you
