I wish they would give us like hour long videos

Man, Rod's voice is amazing.

The "slush pit" test is a solid approximation of my commute 5 months a year.

Awesome, but I sure don’t miss the snow and cold from growing up in Maine.

I am immediately available to perform the volcano/tephra test.

Show me the axle hop test, Slate. Run the truck around a washboard cuve at 40 MPH, and show me that the rear end remains planted.

This would be what they were doing when those photos of a truck at a charging station were posted, and the video of driving on ice. Don't know how many trucks they took for testing, There were 4 visible in a shot multiple times. I'm sure they tested cold weather battery life, that photo of it at a charger they may have been testing cold weather charging.
Yeah, they haven't released numbers, but I'm sure they will by the time anyone gets a chance to buy one.

Seems like a bigger dash display from what we usually see.
Compared it with the Slate configurator and a video from YouTuber RegularCars of the dash from 4 months ago.

I looked it over again and someone pointed it out in another forum.

Left is the symbol lights for the Slate.

Right is likely just the drive modes.

Center is the baby display we know and not sure if we love.

Hard to see but makes complete sense.
Had too much copium that it’d be a bigger dash display.
Mea culpa.
at least we got to see them lit up in the video.
This for me is part of the fun/hate of the short videos.

Small screen may have just been for prototype and development. As tech prices fall by the minute, I'm guessing the cost difference is nothing.
Bigger screen will be way better for the reverse camera view. Thanks Slate !

Be careful about assuming what you see in the prototypes will make it into production. In the towing test documentary video the screen was obviously different from what's shown in the maker, for example.
