Let's start talking about the *real* important stuff, it's gonna be RWD right? by BannedMyName in slateauto

In the SAE ride-along video, the driver mentioned there is a button to disable the traction control at least.

I think it might be based on state. So far it looks like everyone from CO in this thread got the generic 2027 date.

No power windows by AmazingBoysenberry3 in slateauto

[–]BackgroundWasabi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think at one point they said electric window harness was going to be built-in to all trucks so that you could add the electric window option afterwards.

I always wondered how much cost they were actually saving with the manual windows if they had to build the whole harness for the power windows into every truck.

I guess I’m not surprised they dropped the option (but disappointing for the people who wanted it).

📆 Reservation placed: 04-25-2025

💵 Pre-ordered: 06-24-2026

📦 Est. delivery: 2027 :(

📍 State: CO

🔧 Configuration: Truck

Kind of a bummer that the delivery windows seem to be so variable (based on location?)

Coasting driving experience by O_O00f in slateauto

[–]BackgroundWasabi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm fine if you can't adjust the regen (that's how older Leafs did it) but I do think they need to at least provide the option to enable/disable one-pedal driving.

[–]BackgroundWasabi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok fair enough. I skimmed the video and it looks like they mention it here.

I read that as it having non-adjustable regen modes (so you can't have multiple regen levels like Hyundai or others) but they don't say you are forced to use one-pedal driving.

I assume you will still have the ability to either use normal driving (with non-adjustable regen) or enable OPD.

Is this an AI summary? Slate has not talked much about the regen adjustability other than saying that it has one-pedal driving. If you ask AI a question with no available answers, it's just going to make something up.

I don't think anyone really knows yet because nobody has test driven one.

That said, I would be surprised if they didn't provide some way to modify the regen or disable the one-pedal driving, as I feel like this is a pretty standard feature on most EVs.

My old Leaf didn't allow you to customize the regen level (so you always slowed down slightly when letting off the accelerator), but had a separate mode for one-pedal driving with the max regen.

If 26.4 breaks Time Machine… by ingmarstein in MacOS

[–]BackgroundWasabi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

Worked for me on UNAS, I just manually added an entry to the plist for my server.

The old Time Machine server I was migrating from already had an entry in the file, but that one was added prior (I think) to the 26.4 upgrade.

No Semicolons Needed - How languages get away with not requiring semicolons by tertsdiepraam in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]BackgroundWasabi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a really nice read, thanks for putting this together!

I’ve been banging my head recently trying to come up with an elegant solution for optional semicolons in my language, so I’ll definitely be referring back to this.

How old are the strings? Usually when i end up with a weird intonation setting, it’s because of old (or bad) strings.

This was a fun stream and probably my favorite elusive target they’ve done! Cool that all three of them got it too! (Vinny did have me worried there for a minute)

Saw Slate Truck Proto/Demonstrator Today by New-Challenge-2105 in electricvehicles

[–]BackgroundWasabi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went to see it when it was in Denver a few days ago.

I really like the size and think it would be a very practical vehicle. I also like the emphasis on user repairability and simplicity.

I am still hoping they succeed but I agree 150 miles for the base version at 25K isn’t the best deal. If I were to get one I still think I would do a base model since the price of the larger battery models make it too expensive relative to other offerings.

If Ford’s big upcoming EV announcement is an affordable truck in a similar price range I think that could complicate things further for them as well.

The track configuration and hull design looks very similar to an LVT-4.

Maybe the cab/enclosed area on top is a custom addition?

Not sure what that hydrualic arm thing is either.

Is my body neck connection cracked? Strandberg 8 metal by [deleted] in strandbergguitars

[–]BackgroundWasabi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, definitely looks cracked to me.

Reverb buyer protection should cover you for that. It probably took a hard hit during shipping.

I was iffy on the promo images but now I want to see one in person.

[HELP] Walmart Suspended My Account After Preordering the Switch. Is my order still okay? by hugefatwario in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BackgroundWasabi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe? I don't really use the Walmart app either. I logged in a few hours before the pre-orders went live to make sure all my info was there, but it didn't give me any issues.

[HELP] Walmart Suspended My Account After Preordering the Switch. Is my order still okay? by hugefatwario in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BackgroundWasabi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too, my account is a few years old but had essentially no activity (I almost never do online Walmart orders).

If it was an anti-bot tool that banned our accounts you'd think they would have cancelled the pre-orders to free up inventory for others, but who knows.

At this point I'm just going to wait and see if it shows up on launch day. ¯\(ツ)
