    Slate really needs to release more information, or we're all going to lose our minds in here.

    Battery Architecture Thought Experiment

    Slate Will Build a $7.8M Vinyl Wrap Kit Manufacturing Fulfillment Facility In Kentucky

    Plus having their own wrap production means they can take care of fleet customers directly.

    Battery Architecture Thought Experiment

    Yeah, I desperately want to know, haha. Since this is my thread, I'll speculate wildly. I think the first run will all get the big battery. Small battery will come later, maybe specifically for fleets staying local.

    Battery Architecture Thought Experiment

    The Munro video was where they said that they were getting "proven modules" from SKon. However, someone here talked to a rep at an event, and their battery plan seems to have changed.

    Heated Seats Covers??? Motor Trend article: "Automotive Designer Tisha Johnson and Slate Auto: The Perfect Match"

    Any inefficiency from using 12v instead of pack voltage is just more heat, which is the point. Plus 12v aftermarket seat heaters have already existed for decades and are very cheap.

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post. I have a 2023 Chevy bolt with 73,000 miles. The Slate would replace it. Do you think the Bolt will l

    Slate at the Breakfast Club Cruise-In

    I guess I need to move to cali or texas if I ever want to see a Slate, lol.

    The Slate needs a lower price. I know they are not pickups, (most are crossovers/SUVs), but with rebates, % and other deals I can get several other E

    AI Manufacturing

    I read a bit more about the company. It's just another scammy SaaS startup using the "AI" buzzword.

    Slate Events

    I hope they're planning on ramping up events once they have more prepro trucks. An event every few months isn't gonna cut it.

    Slate full teardown after 160K miles

    You can see the rear is torn down too, they're just only showing one camera view. The purpose of the video is to inform us that they're doing tests, not to share their results (even though I want results).

    2027 BMW i3 EV

    Not that it's something I'm interested in/can afford, but it's an impressive car. Seeing what's coming out if the rest of the world vs american automakers cancelling most of their EVs is fascinating/disappointing.
