  1. Why do YOU want a Slate?

    I'll go: My kids are at the age where they are driving, and I'm at the position of being able to give them the vehicles we've paid off (or will soon). That leaves me with the need of a vehicle (other than my motorcycle). I'd like to haul groceries and things from home depot. A truck is IDEAL...
  2. THERE WILL BE A TIME WHEN IT JUST WON'T GO

    This thread is now about pizza toppings. Ham and Pineapple are the two best toppings on a pizza. I will die on that hill.
  3. Pre-orders starting in June! See OFFICIAL confirmation from Slate Auto

    Seriously. "Does it move? Can it do reasonable speeds? Great, sign me up." I'm not sure what a 5 minute test drive is going to show people about a bare bones EV. Oh well.
  4. Three Months Before Price Announcement. Guess the MSRP.

    I voted 27k+, because I'm a pessimist. I suspect it'll be 25k for the base model, but then some "delivery fee" will rack it up. I sincerely hope I'm wrong and it's 25k.
  5. Doug Demuro has been trying (whining)

    This has already been heavily discussed on reddit, so I'll just leave this here: Doug Demuro knows fuck all about cars. He got famous for crashing one at a track and getting dropped from Jalopknik. His review of the slate isn't going to be about it's "quirks or features", he's going to rail on...
  6. Room For My Stuff........

    You've heard of "Elf on the Shelf", now we've got "Drunk in the frunk!" Coming soon to an Uber near you! (ok, I'm done, I promise)
  7. Room For My Stuff........

    Ok, I'm now laughing at the idea of a drunk guy stuck in the frunk. Thanks, i needed that today.
  8. Video - How Slate driver seat fits heights from 6'5" to 5'5"

    12 inch speakers installed in the space over the drivers and passenger seats? ;) (My first vehicle had 6 inch speakers in the roof over the driver and passenger seats. 16 year old me LOVED it. Really clear sound.)
  9. 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?"
  10. 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...
  11. 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.
  12. Slate tailgate by Stay At Home Woodworks

    Silly, but great craftsmanship.
  13. 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.
  14. ICE Raid in battery plant

    D'oh, I thought we were still talking about the Hyundai-LG factory. My bad.
  15. 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.
  16. 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...
  17. EVs will not be allowed on HOV lanes with only a driver after September 30

    Maybe you'll stop posting in iambic parameter?
  18. 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...
