The Slate can tow 1000 pounds more than my Seltos. It'll be a lot better at hauling lumber and gravel, too. There is nothing like Slate in the new vehicle market right now - not at 25,000, anyway.

Use a carrot to lead it in. The bigger, the better.

I'm not impressed, either. Hope 5' 2" me will fit in there. I had to put a back cushion in my '05 Element to comfortably reach the pedals.

I saw one for sale for $7200 OBO a few miles from me with about 56,000 miles. It didn't have plates or a title, so it would be difficult to register in my state. It sat for a month before someone bought it.

"Americans don't want small cars." - US automakers in the late 70s just before Japanese automakers ate their lunch.

This is a fun game. My two-door vehicles... 1982 Mustang (88hp !) 1984 Chevy Citation (2.8l V6) 1984 Chevy Chevette (60hp !) 1982 Chevy Chevette (bought for 50 bucks) 1989 Honda Civic hatch (dual-point injection) 2005 Honda Element (my first new car)

Those who want four doors are surely much lower than 99%.

I think Slate made some mistakes with the bed notches. It looks like they lost about two inches by putting tge 2x6 notches above the wheel wells. They should eliminate those two and lower the remaining four so the tops of 2x6 line line up with the highest points of the wheel well covers...

Chris isn't worried about Chinese EVs because they aren't exporting a small two-door electric pickup to Western markets. Chinese companies are riding the same bland SUV gravy train as everyone else. The tiny two-door trucks they do offer are mostly for the Asian market. I've seen them in...

Badum-tish.

I was about to ask who the hell downvoted this thread. However, the -1 I saw next to it disappeared. Website glitch?

Here are some images that made me smile... https://www.slateforums.com/forum/threads/students-in-warsaw-get-first-look-at-slate-electric-truck.14073/ BTW... some SUVs now come with a standard front camera, likely for the reason you stated.

Holy crap. This is exactly what I want to do.

Why do you think I asked ;)

FWIW... a Maverick can carry 1500 pounds and tow 2000 (4000 with the optional towing package. Both acceleration and top speed are better, too. With all that, I won't be buying a Maverick. I want a real compact truck. You just can't get that in a crew-cab configuration right now. Even if you...

Specifically, I want to know if the floor area behind the seats is accesible from the cab. In SUV trim, that space is the floor for backseat passangers. In the two-seater, it's covered by a panel in the bed... If the section is accessible within the cab, I have plans. If the section is...

Yeah... I saw that yesterday. Perhaps good for Slate. Bad for everyone else.

I was e Funny thing is, Kia didn't sell that many more Seltos' than the Soul. The Seltos is nicer in most ways - Especially with AWD. The fuel economy is much better than the 2012 Soul I had. But the Seltos is slower and the CVT is far less responsive. I got a warranty replacement...

Smash a window then open the door from the inside to access the overlap or fasteners. If there are hidden screws holding the panels on, why bother with exposed ones ?

Wish they would show up somewhere near my little corner of New England.
