When you put it like that, it sounds like the more complex linkage's main performance effect would be (potentially) adding weight.

That image is also from shortly after the reveal in early 2025, very prototype. I wouldn't assume that the suspension will end up being exactly the same by production.

For any car with a highly-integrated and closed off dash with a big stupid tablet and all, I'd be mad. For the Slate specifically, it feels like buying a cheap radio (or grabbing one from your garage) and sticking it in the cabin is in the spirit of things.

Wikipedia (the main place I learned about sodium-ion, but I also read some articles and saw a couple industry websites a couple years back) acknowledges the aqueous/non-aqueous classifications. There may be some differences in thermal stability, etc., but the AI is just talking about "sodium...

IIRC, the safety advantage is either limited or mostly-limited to "aqueous" sodium-ion batteries, which also have the more significant disadvantage on energy density. So, the non-aqueous ones being used for automotive traction batteries are probably similar to lithium-ion/NMC in terms of safety.

Slate doesn't need to fight that conspiracy. People who actively hate on EVs whenever they're mentioned aren't anyone's target market, they're just annoying. I also wouldn't actually worry about numbers fluctuating slightly. It doesn't necessarily mean anything, people throw around different...

There's always 5 or so people who show up to say "just buy a Maverick", "needs a range extender", "it needs AWD and 6 doors to carry my average midwestern household of 8 children and two large dogs uphill both ways in the snow at a 60 degree angle", and, inexplicably, "the price keeps going up...

This article looks like nonsense. Slate put out some news and they wanted something to put in an article in case people went looking for new articles about Slate. This is the part that's based on "something Slate said". That's not new at all. Slate leadership has alluded to future models...

Slate's specs identify AEB on the feature list. I do think that, if someone wants to do their own self-driving or AI experiments or whatever, the Slate is a much better starting point than a vehicle that already has self-driving and such built-in, since it wouldn't require defeating or...

When I saw this, I just assumed there was some joke/meme reference I was missing.

Ah, thanks for posting the photos, easy way to remove all doubt. My bad for not thinking to look for them. To be fair, "why would anyone even think to use AI for this normal thing we've been able to do better for decades or centuries?!" is a common reaction to actual uses of AI. A lot of...

Yeah, wheels and tires are already standardized and interchangeable. I figure Slate mostly gave the options as examples and for letting people play with different "looks" in the Maker. That, and for comparison with mainstream automakers having "bigger wheels" as options as well.

You can have computer generated images that aren't AI. I'm partly asking because I think it's a bad look for Slate to be using AI instead of actual modeling/art.

I like the look of the base wheels, and I believe in the ancient lost technology of "sidewall". In theory, I do think it might be nice to have lighter options than plain steel for the lower unsprung mass, etc.? I don't think the bigger wheels look particularly good. Also, why are those...

I wasn't defending ghost jobs, and pivoting to claim that was my position (even after calling the supposed accusation "cynical") is openly ridiculous. I said they were real and provided an array of articles criticizing or warning against the practice. If you are confused about anything I've...

Or, let me put it this way: You seem concerned about "sides" here. Pro/anti-Slate. My issue is that you said something nonsensical and were incredibly obnoxious when criticized. If you care about making Slate look "good", don't represent them by dismissing real facts and acting like a troll...

I was replying to this. You can see what I was replying to in my post.

I'm not saying that Slate is posting ghost jobs. I'm saying that ghost jobs exist and aren't some improbable conspiracy theory. You're being defensive against an attack that doesn't exist. Your signature is literally: I'll be impressed if Slate actually makes it to production... 🏭 I've been...

Why the absolutely rancid attitude about this? Whatever. Here. A job site, a mainstream news outlet, and Wikipedia with citations from several other mainstream news outlets. Business Insider, WSJ, Fox Business, Newsweek, Reuters, Financial Times, CNBC. The burden of proof is absolutely not on...

What "department"? And what "expense"? I think fake job listings like that are a known thing, and I don't think it costs a company anything to spam job listings and ghost applicants.
