I was wondering if anyone else here cared about having amber turn signals. I've noticed that the upgraded LED taillight option is the only taillight in the Slate Maker with a clear lens so hopefully that will allow it.

In my experience, Sync has sucked ever since they moved to touchscreens. The original button based Sync systems are best Infotainment systems I've used.

I disagree with that. Not everyone can handle being a good driver. Impatience and anger will always be human flaws. I can see computers getting better quicker than I can see governments being competent.

I would consider SuperCruise to be more of a comparison specifically to autopilot if you want to go that route. Being marketed correctly and used correctly and those stats have already been stated here as well. It works. I personally think that there is a better chance of getting these computers...

It seems like Daemoch believes they should be fool proof. But, also, how do you make these systems fail safe? I see two routes, make it so the driver can take over without any issues. Which I believe every car maker does (with currently made models atleast). The other route I see is giving them...

I don't think this is the way to think about driver assist at all. If they can do better in most scenarios than the average driver, I think thats good at the end of the day. No technology can ever be fool proof and no person can ever be perfect. That's just life. Doesn't mean you can't take the...

I feel like this is a brand issue rather than a technology issue. LKA and ACC should be assist rather than relied upon. Not much to say about the emergency braking you described but that also sounds like thats on Ford.

I would like to say that, while I don't actively use my cars lane keep and adaptive cruise as much anymore, I have never had an issue with it acting incorrectly. It all depends on the software. However, I don't think its worth Slate's time to even consider anything in this department that isn't...

I mean, Slate is the only 2 door EV that can be had. As far as I know its the only EV with a removable top (in the U.S.). It's price point isn't as good as it was with the incentives, and the average buyer probably won't buy a Slate for numerous reasons. However, I'd say there are still plenty...

I mean, in theory, it will have an electronic power steering motor so it could be possible but as for the cameras, probably not. This is a basics and cost thing I suspect, maybe Comma can figure something out after launch but I wouldn't bet on it.

I wasn't sure how interesting that ends up being, I know nothing about what patents Tesla let's others use. But also, I could see Chris not knowing if they were using them.

Just so its out there, here is a clear picture of the heat/AC controls from RCR's video. It does seem like heat will be a button toggle like AC is traditionally.

For anyone wanting to watch the whole thing. Chris speaks from about 4:28 to 4:58. Apart from the mentioned marketplace, I know she mentioned around 5k for the SUV kit which I have missed up to this point. When asked about licensing autonomous technology to put on the Slate, the response was no...

Seems like my options aren't the greatest either. Doesn't matter too much to me. Going through the updated FAQ though, was it known they are going to do demo drives in 2026? I haven't read the FAQ in awhile so I'm not sure when that popped up but I look forward to that.

Regular Car Reviews has posted a video on the Slate.

My falcon needs a radio but its low on the list. I imagine I will get to it before the Slate comes out though.

I have not seen the battery size mentioned anywhere. You might be able to guess based on the dashboard but its not high quality enough to be sure. I do hope we get a longer video at some point about the testing. Would love to see if they did brake testing or not.

Right, I'm just pointing out some reasons they might decide that process isn't worth it. I agree that on paper it doesn't seem like it'd be a bad idea to offer a few more colors but I also see all the reasons they wouldn't want to either. Hopefully for the owners who do want different colored...

I think a few more things to consider here as well is that more options on the assembly line mean a higher chance of messing up a customers order. Easier for a startup to ignore this problem and any associated costs, whatever they may be, by just not dealing with it and giving that problem to...

I think I might do the same as well. It's an ever growing list for a vehicle I don't have. The Slate is gonna be one of my first times messing with car audio.
