  1. šŸ”‹ The Extended Battery Decision (Poll: Which battery option suits you best?)

    I think it is, because in that example, you can still drive the car until the fuel pump physically can’t suck any more fuel. This is to the detriment of your fuel pump and any other sensitive components. However, it’s your prerogative to grenade your own fuel pump if you feel you really need to...
  2. šŸ”‹ The Extended Battery Decision (Poll: Which battery option suits you best?)

    i get why they did it, and why they don’t always have that extra capacity available… but that seriously strikes a bad note with me. If the vehicle I own is factory capable of something, it would seem reasonable to permit the user to access it without the permission of its over-the-air update...
  3. The Slate is a Coupe Utility Vehicle (CUV)

    Skirting past the semantics conversation... I do agree with OP that expectations need to be managed, and I am curious as to the demographics of utility expectation for those who reserved a Slate. A forum is more likely to pull certain demographics which may inflate the quantity of certain...
  4. Range, tow load limits, trailers, and EVs - SOLVED

    I've said it for years now, and I'll say it again because I want some company to do it... U-Haul has a pretty good business model. You can stick one anywhere, really. A gas station, a local grocery store, mechanic shop, you name it. Hook up a trailer, take it from your starting point to...
  5. For fun - Overall Size / Wheelbase of Slate truck compared to other vehicles

    The top-down size of the Slate is what sold me on it… it is 0.6 inches shorter in length and only a few inches wider than my current car, a 2008 Prius. I love the small dimensions that make it easy to whip around town, easier to park, all that jazz. I drive Chevy trucks at work, and even a...
  6. Low power mode

    If I recall correctly, the three A/C control knobs in the Slate Maker have central push buttons for ā€œA/C on,ā€ ā€œHeat on,ā€ and the ā€˜air recycler’ function. I would assume it’s possible to have it in a state of both A/C and heat off for the ā€œventā€ functionality? I would assume that ā€œventingā€ the...
  7. šŸ”‹ The Extended Battery Decision (Poll: Which battery option suits you best?)

    I’m curious, regarding the additional wear to tires and suspension, is this a documented phenomenon with other EVs? Are long-range variants known to have noticeably more wear? I recognize the physics dictates that these points are true, but I’m curious if it has any noticeable impact on cost of...
