Slate first drive review video - Jay Leno's Garage!

[NH425]

I had three Souls. Loved that little turbo runabout. I wanted the newer EV Soul so bad, and they never brought it to the USA. And yea, it was a primitive design. But a totally great city vehicle. So of course they discontinued it Sales were slipping, and now they have the Seltos..

I've owned 2 gas Souls and 2 Soul EVs. If the truck reminds me of those that'll be a major win! The video make me want it even more.

Will there be an upper grab/handle bar for either the driver or passenger? Didn't see one in the video.

I am so used to having them. They allow me to utilize the headroom. In my daily driver, I use them to hold my bungee cords so they're not tangled up in a bag.

So on at least two levels, I think the Leno exposure was a win for Slate, and by extension to us here.

Hope soon passenger side at least. Wife always uses.

I wonder how many more reservations now

At least 50,000 i wish I could see the analytics of who's watching see how many USA vs other

Been thinking about this. I know Leno has a huge following because he is also a celebrity, but do you really think that most of his followers are not already carguys (people) who have not yet heard of the Slate? All the carguys I know have already heard about Slate.

From what I seen in the comments it seemed like there was alot more people who didn't know about it but I'd also say it's closer to a good mix of new and car people not to many people out right denying they slate a spot but some of that to overall far more positives and good questions

What I really wanted to know is what type of screws they use for the panels.

No screws, "Legodad". Just line them up, push firmly, and they snap in.

Every new video or content that comes out about Slate seems to get some views and comments from people who have literally never heard if it existing. I'm sure a significant fraction of Jay's viewers aren't really "car guys" and many are now newly exposed to the idea.

Confirmed. If you zoom in real close on Slate's media you can see they use these to hold the panels on:
