I'll bet 16" steelies would fit. Those brakes don't look that big. I'll definitely be going smallest diameter that clears the brakes for the set of wheels that'll get snow tires.

The unibody (or slateboard, or whatever they want to call it) is going to be electrostatically coated.

I hope the panels are extremely stealable so I never have to buy any.

(I can't actually recommend the electric Spark purely because the NMC battery doesn't hold up and replacements cost more than a good Bolt, but it's a very fun car you can cram a lot in with the rear seats removed.)

If it's a 100% purchased from SK battery that they just install, I'd say it's way more likely that the two packs will be similar voltage using two different modules, rather than my elaborate theory. The motor/gearbox/inverter is something they're buying complete from a supplier (JJE, or...

I guess this raises the question of who owns the module design. My thinking for it being at least based on an existing module is that in the Munro Slate video, they use the phrase "proven module". I'm doing A LOT of guessing from like 3 sentences in that video.

I would guess that the contract with SK was already set, but Slate might be able to get a better deal in the future. That's pure speculation though.

I'm looking for a utilitarian EV that can be my daily driver, isn't massive and super heavy, and isn't stuffed with crap I don't want that's probably going to break. So right now the options are Slate or Bolt.

If there are any professional battery nerds here, please excuse my rounding and loose use of terminology, I am but an amateur battery nerd.

Slate is staying tight lipped on a lot of the specifics about the two battery options they'll be offering. The information we do have is that the small battery is 52.7kwh and uses 5 modules, and the big battery is 84.3kwh and uses 8 modules. That works out to 10.54kwh per module for both packs...

Volume knob + bluetooth is all I need

I'm happy for you and your HP printer. I want more control over updates, which is why I'm interested in a Slate. Why are you here?

Cars having issues during updates, massive bugs, deliberately removed functionality, etc. are all known problems that keep happening across the industry. Why are you pretending this isn't a known thing?

I don't own a tesla because I don't want to deal with their bullshit, which is why I'm interested in a Slate.

I don't let cars make decisions for me.

Slate has already said that OTA updates will happen via your phone. You'll get an update downloaded to your slate app, then you plug it in and update the truck. I love this because you get to decide IF you want the update, instead of just waking up to a bricked tesla.

I'm assuming that's a two-tone wrap, which is even easier.

This is basically the scenario for me here. Because we get occasional piles of lake effect all at once, there's occasional times I truly couldn't get anywhere in a 2wd, even with good snows. But I basically always can just stay home for those times. If I had a job that I NEEDED to get to...
