Slate Events

[KevinRS]

Whoever they have on updating the events page, it must be a very minor part of what they do. The only event shown was almost 2 weeks ago, the fleet page is just as out of date, with 2 events that have passed, and 1 still to come. I know they only have a limited number of event trucks, but I really thought they would be bringing the event numbers back up with the warming weather, at least where it is warm.
Actually, it would make sense to have an events category here somewhere, where all the event threads would go.

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.

I was really expecting they would go back to at least one every few weeks, with 3 future events showing on the page by now. Then once they are getting trucks off the line at even a slow testing rate, ramp that up to every week, some weeks multiple simultaneous events in different parts of the country.

Right now they only have a few rickety prototypes to show.

The Slate to State Tour will be better when Fall rolls around.

They do seem to have repeated locations, and done locations within a few miles of each other. I'd like to see them make an effort to have each location at least 30 miles from previous ones, and drop the weekday morning ones that no one even posted about after.

Maybe they're afraid to drive 'em in New England snow.

80s-90s in Southern California, much of the west has been spring or summer like for the past month.

I hate you.

It's not all good, if it's this warm now, what's it going to be like in a few months?

Yeah, I've seen nothing posted about the one at the automotive museum, at least that one was free. The one next weekend is a members only thing, $99 for the cheapest membership, and then there is mention of a ticket, not clear if that ticket is something a member would have to pay more for on top of the membership.

Oh my that is so fancy! 😬😬😬 It looks like the $149/yr "local" membership includes attendance at member-only events. $99/yr "core" includes discounts and a magazine. This is some next-level enthusiast activities that I am not familiar with. Been to car shows that require an admission fee of $10-$20, that's it.

Speaking of fancy, Autovino in San Carlos offers vehicle storage, display, wine tasting, and other events. Club Auto Sport in San Jose allows enthusiasts to have their own man caves. I went to a few weekend car shows at the latter and had a glimpse of a few of the man caves.

Still hoping to catch Slate at a free event that works with my schedule. 😳

I find it strange how the slate events are not really covered anywhere, might get like two YouTube videos at best.

Nothing really new at this point. Maybe after June?
