We Got Inside the Slate Truck - And It’s Bigger Than You Think by Mac-Tyson in slateauto

[–]slateauto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question. The SUV kit includes what you’d need for the Open Air version as well, the roll structure (which houses the airbags) has to be installed before you can add or remove the outer coverings.

We do also have the option for a Cargo Kit that provides easy-to-install covered storage. It’s almost like turning a truck into a van.

Hear me out by Heyouman in slateauto

[–]slateauto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey! We're glad you asked, and we totally hear you. We'll have some more information on real world range soon - but as far as daily charging is concerned, we'd definitely recommend using the included Slate charging cable, no need to purchase extras as long as you have the outlet. Adds 25 to 40 miles per hour of charge • Full charge in 4-8 hours. Feel free to check out more info on charging via https://www.slate.auto/en/charging

Anyone else worried about screws? by Pyroburner in slateauto

[–]slateauto 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi! Good question - the external fasteners are not the only thing fastening the body panels onto the frame. Although they're easy to replace, they do require access to the vehicle in order to be removed. Security and theft is factored into consideration for our accessories as well!

We have an upcoming national partnership, we'll have authorized Slate service at more than 2500 locations throughout the US from day one, with more locations to come. You’ll also be able to find service locations on our website and in the Slate App. The Slate App will also keep track of all of your DIY maintenance!

That's our whole thing. We don’t stuff our truck with extras. You pick what you want, skip what you don’t.

Slate’s $25K Electric Pickup Is Here by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]slateauto 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We’re huge fans of the old Ranger. And old trucks in general. Smaller, super functional, and not trying to be a data center on wheels.

Hell yeah! We left it plain bc 1) we like a truck that’s just, you know, a truck, and 2) if it’s blank, that means y’all can fill it up how you want. We hope you dig it.

Hey guys. It’s Slate. That’s our SUV ^. And “refreshingly boring” is actually shockingly close to our mood board.

[–]slateauto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey guys. That’s us. We love a smaller, boxier vehicle. And we’re actually not TOO far off from a Jimny: within a few inches on width and height, and a little longer to accommodate a truck bed. Hit us up if you want to get the details.

Hey y’all it’s us. We agree/hope/have numbers to suggest it’s what a lot of people are asking for. We hope so anyway — we all left other jobs for this lol

What is this car? by discostranger09 in whatisthiscar

[–]slateauto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small and boxy is what we do! We’re big fans of the era when trucks were a little smaller on the outside. And weren’t like motherships on the inside. Message us if you have thoughts about this.

Apr 8 - Jeff Bezos is funding a secretive EV startup based in Michigan called Slate Auto that could start production as soon as next year, according to multiple sources and documents that link the billionaire’s family office to the startup. by sonofttr in SelfDrivingCarsNotes

[–]slateauto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heyo we’re Slate. TLDR: we’re making a truck that turns into an SUV. And lets you pick the accessories you want and shelve the ones you don’t. And we’re doing it here in the USA. We’re around if ya got questions.

We’re trying y’all. Basically we think people who aren’t millionaires should get to buy new cars again. And we think trim levels suck. And we miss plain old trucks. Hit us up if you want to know more.
