  1. Slate Website / Configurator Update + New Accessories and Parts

    Except it stands in contrast to the notion of Radical Simplicity you so often mention here. I find your contradictions humorous! Soon you’ll be advocating for subscription based services 🤣
  2. Slate Hires New CEO Peter Faricy. Ex-CEO Chris Barman appointed new role

    Totally understandable. But as you can imagine a business owner/fleet operator might possibly have a different approach in order to manage their fleet. Just suggesting that the forum peanut gallery won't represent all use cases. :rolleyes: This again??? I love you brother but you've got to...
  3. Slate Website / Configurator Update + New Accessories and Parts

    Why not? There's probably room for an air fryer and espresso machine too! Probably. Someone needs to write Slate and demand these features!!!
  4. Blank slate narrative is a mistake, and that needs to change

    I don't see much difference between this configuration and a front-wheel drive, but that's just me.
  5. Slate testing on solid ice & snow at Baudette Proving Ground in MN (video)

    Now I gotta go look up that super awesome front bumper in the Slate maker... 🤘 It just keeps getting better!
  6. Blank slate narrative is a mistake, and that needs to change

    How does regenerative braking produce any more increased wear on the tire than using regular brakes?
  7. Great Interview with Chris Barman: "Slate's Wild Idea To Fix The Auto Industry"

    Ran when parked! lol Forget wraps, we need more discussion about this funky van. Unless someone wants to duplicate those awesome Keep On Truckin' graphics!
  8. Slate Hires New CEO Peter Faricy. Ex-CEO Chris Barman appointed new role

    Some interesting speculations in this thread. It often seems to me that these executives ride a merry-go-round from one business to another! Or Faricy was at home, sitting on the couch waiting for the phone to ring... Either way, I wish them all success. :like: Next step - Slate University...
  9. Problems you are worried about Slate having with the production prototypes.

    It was the Sandy Munro video where Chris Barman claims to be employee #2 (about a minute in.) I couldn't find any reports that showed Rod Copes was ever CEO. Slate Confirms $700 Million in Funding, Bezos Investment Let us know if you have a link to info that says otherwise.
  10. Slate Hires New CEO Peter Faricy. Ex-CEO Chris Barman appointed new role

    I understand you might not intend it this way, but it sounds unnecessarily harsh. It's easy to speculate the reasons for this change in management. Personally, I suspect the current military action against Iran and its impact on the economy plays a role. But in the end, the decision belongs...
  11. Problems you are worried about Slate having with the production prototypes.

    When was Chris Barman hired? I thought she claimed to be employee #1 or #2 in some video presentation.
  12. Slate Hires New CEO Peter Faricy. Ex-CEO Chris Barman appointed new role

    But will the delivery fee be waived for Prime members?
  13. Confirmed: 4x4 all-wheel drive AWD planned for future Slate version!

    Hello bob - I see this is your first post here. Have you driven an electric vehicle? If not I highly recommend at least a test drive.
  14. New Merch is Awesome!

    Hey Bryan, did you wind up getting hired at Slate? I notice you had mentioned wanting to work for Slate. How's that going?
  15. The Slate Truck is more of an upsized BEV Kei Truck then a scaled down Full-size BEV Pickup

    It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison. Just looking at wheelbase measurements, the Slate claims 2,766 mm (108.9 in) and the first two generations of the Toyota TUV were 2,500 mm (98.4 in), so a little shorter. Interestingly, the Toyota was also initially sold as a pickup only:
  16. Problems you are worried about Slate having with the production prototypes.

    Waiting for the Slate to make it to production lol
  17. USB-C touch screen VS a tablet

    That's pretty sweet! There's so many ways to go here. Stuff like this has to be the reason why Slate won't even bother!
  18. Blank slate narrative is a mistake, and that needs to change

    Without getting into a big argument over vehicle weight, here are some AI results on the matter: 3,600 x 1.5 = 5,400. The Model 3 falls far short.
  19. Blank slate narrative is a mistake, and that needs to change

    But it's wrong! EVs are not twice as heavy. Unless you're trolling, then ha ha.
