Your reservation gets you a Slate test drive in 2026!

Completely agree! But after the long wait is over, let’s hope this forum doesn’t end up like a lot of other forums. They tend to be dominated with complaints. Certainly there will be issues on a totally new design. I just hope they are relatively minor in nature.

Hopefully they keep the truck simple.......I just want it plain as it gets. Less gadgets the better.

Not to nit pick here, but I'm not hanging my hat on "available for demonstration drives" as meaning reservation holder/prospective buyers actually get to test drive a Slate. "Demonstration drives" to me means you get to ride in a Slate rather than drive one.

Having been raised in Indiana and attending high school in Kokomo, all I can say is: Sorry bout your luck. 😉

Nah, I love small towns. I'm here intentionally, not by luck. 🙂

Yes, the first pre-production Ford Lightnings were demo drives driven by a professional driver.

Guess they can't trust you can handle the enormous torque and HP ?

I'm just reading the language.

If a vehicle has too much torque and horsepower for the prospective buyer to be trusted with during a test drive, then maybe that's an issue for a different discussion.

So far it appears like you add what you want which is a great idea. Only the future will tell

Not being able to take my possible slate purchase and beat the piss out of it for 10 min or so would severely impact by desire to buy one
