  1. ICE Raid in battery plant

    D'oh, I thought we were still talking about the Hyundai-LG factory. My bad.
  2. 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.
  3. 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...
  4. EVs will not be allowed on HOV lanes with only a driver after September 30

    Maybe you'll stop posting in iambic parameter?
  5. 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...
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. New Information / Updates request

    But you're going to let the "flat rowing" slide, eh?
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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...
  13. 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.
  14. 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...
  15. Slate Coupe -> Estate (My Concept)

    I really, REALLY like this one. Thank you
  16. What is your order?

    I have reserved the blankest of slates. Literally don't need any extras, just a car that gets me around town. I drive way, way less in the winter in Michigan anyways.
  17. Slate Coupe -> Estate (My Concept)

    Why not a Slatino, like an El Camino? (I tried generating this in AI, but it just kept coming out looking like a Ford F100 truck)
  18. Which generation will be the biggest owners of Slates?

    I think Gen X, work from home people are the greatest market for this vehicle. We're not stuck in our vehicles for hours like we used to be, having to commute to an office and back. My kids are growing up and driving on their own now, so having a big cab or even the SUV version doesn't...
