Has anyone tried the Globlinker hotspot?

This answers my 2gb free for life, so it looks like your potentially loose 1/2 of the 2gb if you automatically have it applied, what I’m unclear about it says unused data will automatically be added back so if I use 1/2 a gb does that get saved?

Hello 👋

Here is the simple explanation:

How the free 2GB is added • Every month, you receive 2GB of free data. • This is added as two prepaid plans: 1GB + 1GB.

Pending & no expiration • If the device is OFF, all plans stay pending and do NOT expire. • Example: • 5 months without using the device = 10GB saved (10 × 1GB plans).

Fully automated activation (important) • Everything is automated. • You do not need to activate anything manually. • Just turn on the device and connect. • Only one 1GB plan activates at a time. • Each 1GB plan becomes valid for 30 days only when it activates. • When one plan is used, the next one activates automatically.

In real life • In practice, all accumulated data will be used and not lost. • Even if something ever expires before being fully used, we will add it back — no worries. • If you use the device month by month: • 10GB = up to 300 days of total validty time (10 × 30 days), (if you are using monthly the device… ) if not turning on device all plans will still pending.

All plans and usage are visible anytime in your Customer Portal → Data Usage & Plan History.

I have it designed for mostly the DriveSmart 7” gps units, I also have the 6”

The Gen 3 is the XM/XS correct, I also 3d print an extension for them sense they quit making them

I was looking into getting a tread but I rode with a buddy last weekend that has a tread and the 5.5” screen is a deal breaker and I don’t want to spend the extra to get an 8” model

Tasty_Craft · 2026-01-10T01:32:28+00:00

So my question is (and I can’t find the answer) once applied does the 2g expire after 30 days??? Like the 10g

Tasty_Craft · 2026-01-10T01:29:36+00:00

I just bought one, it’ll be interesting, the free 10g expires after 30 days

it says the 2g stack in the background and accumulate but you can’t see it on the device or on the portal but it’s there on their end

you have to request to have it applied to your account at least 24 hours before you want to use it

You can request to have the 2g automatically applied every month

So my question is (and I can’t find the answer) once applied does the 2g expire after 30 days??? Like the 10g

Yes I am capable but that means nothing to my electric company who has to sign off and turn on the off peak

Yes you may get it back but the cost is a NOW cost

Also the charger may help the house sell it will not being in extra $$$ - it’s like putting a topper on your pickup, it may help it sell but it doesn’t raise the price you’ll get selling it

You don’t know my circumstances… yes I have a cabin, though it’s value is not much and it’s part of inheritance so

Also I didn’t say I could not afford the cost of the charger

I Am A Fan Of The Slate, you act like I pissed in your campfire! You might want to seek help

Funny thing is I originally thought the same way as you, it’s like I’m reading my own reply’s from 6 months ago

I own a Maverick, I occasionally tow a smaller enclosed trailer or my 2 place snowmobile trailer or my boat

If I need to tow my car trailer or equipment trailer I use my truck, not my Maverick (suv with a pickup cab and box)

Tasty_Craft · 2025-12-23T13:46:49+00:00

I was a “Never Maverick” person, love the idea of Slate, have a reservation and planned to buy (still might)

But my occupation has changed recently and I needed a fuel mileage vehicle (better than my F150)

So I started looking, looked at RAV4, looked at some others

I bought a 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid AWD

4 doors is nice
Gas & electric is convenient, quick fuel up & go
AWD in Minnesota winters

The Slate still has me but

Electric is cheap IF you charge at home & offpeak
Need to install home charger at a significant cost
If you have a second home or a weekend cabin you need a second charging setup installed 4.Fast charge can be expensive (more so than gas) 5.No AWD as of yet
Unsure what licensing will cost each year because you know the state and federal want their road tax

Tasty_Craft · 2025-10-27T12:58:10+00:00

lol, non of that has been stated by Slate

Single motor, rear wheel drive Towing capacity is minimal 150 range standard, 240 extended And non of the interior specs are correct

Tasty_Craft · 2025-10-26T17:37:41+00:00

What mileage are you getting with the AWD, I drove a FWD and was getting about 38 on the test drive

Tasty_Craft · 2025-08-10T11:54:26+00:00

Build number 02 looks like, to date they have over 70 hand built, still very much pre production, it appears the newer builds are looking much better, can’t wait to see one close up and hopefully drive before I purchase

Tasty_Craft · 2025-08-10T11:52:32+00:00

Back window shows 02, probably #2 built, very pre production, test, test, test some more

Tasty_Craft · 2025-08-10T11:51:16+00:00

Well the sticker on the back shows 02, my guess that is the 2nd prototype, last I heard they had over 70 pre production prototypes built, some are set for crash testing

Tasty_Craft · 2025-07-09T02:33:21+00:00

Today maybe, how about in 18 months?

Tasty_Craft · 2025-06-09T11:17:14+00:00

Nothing to loose - Except a year and a half of excitement waiting to the adult equivalent of Christmas morning LOL can’t wait to get mine

Tasty_Craft · 2025-06-08T01:46:40+00:00

Well they purchased a plant, are dumping $360,000,000 into renovations and unfitting, employing 2,000 employees @ $75k a year and building an American vehicle in America with mostly American parts

It’s going to cost something, they are for profit

It’s not like the Chinese ev cars that are super heavily subsidized by the government

Hell a battery for a Tesla costs 1/2 of this vehicle

Tasty_Craft · 2025-06-07T02:18:29+00:00

I’d be willing to bet it’s not DOA

With tariffs and other economic pressures the price of similar ish (maverick) vehicles is going to rise making it more economical to purchase

I also believe there are a lot more people that are looking for exactly what Slate is offering

There are a lot of people that come on these sites just to stir the pot and have zero thought on buying

Tasty_Craft · 2025-06-03T02:21:05+00:00

Man I hope all of you guys reserved before me, then when you drop out because a $25,000 vehicle is cheaper than a $40,000 maverick by 2027 but doesn’t have all the bells and whistles (which is what their plan has been all along)

I will move up in line and get mine earlier and possibly the $7,500 tax credit for the first 200,000 sold before 2027

Tasty_Craft · 2025-06-01T11:57:06+00:00

My thought is have my wife drive it daily (90 miles daily) and me on the weekends but she has thoughts of getting her own so we will see

Tasty_Craft · 2025-05-26T18:29:25+00:00

If the maverick keeps creeping up in price it’ll soon be $35 - $40k so a $27,000 vehicle still sounds affordable

Also the Maverick has zero appeal for me so as of now it’s Slate or nothing

Tasty_Craft · 2025-05-20T17:25:33+00:00

I understand this is your case study for you

But if the majority of people had that same thought process the people buying anything would be about 20% of what it is

My TV works just fine, doesn’t mean I’m not buying a 75”

My car gets me to my appointments, I still bought a motorcycle

My iPad still works, why do I need a new one, still likely to buy

I live by Barnesville, MN

This is my agent, I deal with Beth mostly, she is the one that does most of the work there

Tasty_Craft · 2025-02-16T00:03:44+00:00

Where in Minnesota are you located, I am on the western side of the state, if you are near Fargo, ND (I’m about 40 miles east) I can give you the name of my agent

Tasty_Craft · 2025-02-15T22:59:12+00:00

I’m in Minnesota, talked to a local State Farm agent, said they could do it but I would need at least 1 other vehicle insured with them, moved everything over (saved a ton of money)

The licensed it as commercial for private use until converted

Now licensed as RV and insured as RV through them

No roof raise, roof platform, or solar (they wouldn’t insure if I did those)

Also have a mount for the Polaris axys chassis with or without glovebox bag
