See attached for official word. There will be pre-delivery contractors to configure before delivery.

My guess is that Slate will find that many buyers don't want to undertake initial DIY, and Slate will need to adjust their plans to send trucks with many customization features pre-installed. One thing to do one or two part installs. Another to undertake headlights, power windows, upgraded...

When I read this on the personalization page, I interpreted it as referring to all customizations. My error, it seems. "Want the SUV kit, or a wrap? We’ll install them for you before we deliver your vehicle, for a little extra. "

Not my understanding. They are built to spec with options selected.

I enjoy having an AM/FM radio, but it's legacy technology which needs to be retired. We are not going to replace electronic starters with hand cranks, power windows with roll-up (let's see how many trucks ships with roll-ups), or radial tires with bias-ply. The ship has sailed.

Back in the day, likely before your time, we would screw 8 Track players under the dash. It worked.

Both AM & FM stations are accessible.

I like SimpleRadio. All my local stations are accessible, and I enjoy access to most stations across the country. I found a few stations inaccessible, especially from the very large markets such as WMMR in Philadelphia.

It seems everthing your write is negative. I suggest you consider that this might not be the right vehicle for you. An easy solution for AM/FM radio is to use your smartphone or tablet and subscribe to a service such as SimpleRadio. There are many to choose from, at a cost of $15-$30 per year...

Rear Wheel Drive only living in upstate NY is an issue, but it really sounds like you are over an electric car and not Slate specifically. Even with its long-range battery, the Slate vehicle will be far less expensive than Ford's future universal-platform small pickup truck. I have been testing...

If you buy the Slate and its performance and reliability are unsatisfactory, and this is a financial problem to replace it, consider deferring purchase for 6+ months. If you spend $30K and can say, "Well, that was a mistake," but can still pay the mortgage and send the kids to college, then be...

Just tunein to Trucking on Spotify or Tidal and enjoy the ride

Does anyone have experience with WiFi Internet Boosters for cars? To see if I could get by without an AM/FM radio I bought a $80 Android Tablet, used a CD mount which I found far superior to a suction mount, enabled WiFi Hotspot on my Google Pixel phone, subscribed to both Tidal for music and...

Early Slate buyers are either enthusiasts for a low cost low sophisticated vehicle or it just meets their budgetary needs. For the former they are aware of the risks and likely can absorb the loss of $30K. Won't be happy, but not catastrophic. For the latter, they are screwed.

I almost always drive alone, a couple times a week with my wife, and less than ten times a year with 3 or 4 people, so this is a perfect second vehicle for us. Those rare days with 3+ passengers we will use my wife's car. This week I bought a $70 Android tablet to see how easy it would be to...

Hi, There are radio apps for your SmartPhone which can be used for both local, national, and International stations. Really easy to use. I have SmipleRadio. Cost $20/year.
