It’d be nice if all you had to do was remove a few screws. Take 15 min tops to switch out. Or on the interior. If you wanted to change the dash insert, you basically have to take apart the entire dash. Why can’t it be just a few screws there too? Engineers probably spend countless hours trying to hide all the fasteners. Exposed screws/bolts look cool, especially in off road vehicles. I'd agree that on something like Bronco, several "Bronco bolts" on the dash would've been fine and would've allowed customers to swap dash panels if they wanted.

T-dubz Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Saw this ai pic on fb. If they made something like this in the low 20’s geared a bit more towards speed, I might be interested. If it had a 0-60 in the mid to low 5’s, it’d probably feel pretty fast sitting that low with the instant torque. A two seat car is even less useful than a two seat truck, so it would probably never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherminator98 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 In California, the Slate EV Pickup Starts Under $23,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 But today Slate revealed the destination charge for its truck—$1,450—and since you can’t buy any car, truck, or SUV without paying the destination charge, Slate was essentially announcing the full base price for its EV-pickup. Nonetheless, $26,400 is still a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 Also, holy completely irrelevant price comparison...... For comparison’s sake, a Ford Maverick four-door, five-seat pickup with a five-foot bed just like the Slate starts at almost 30k. A Hyundai Santa Cruz is $31,350. A Nissan Frontier is $33,895. And prices go up from there. A Ford Raptor R starts at $114,420. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Frontier is more of a stretch because it's a midsize, but at least I get it because that's the entry level price, but then throwing in the top of the line model two segments up like huh?

rmc523 Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 Not official, but something they're working on..... Slate Electric Pickup High Roof Cargo Kit Work Van Slate Auto has not officially detailed its cheapest enclosed work van yet. At a recent Portland ride-along event, Fleet Business Development and Government Sales Lead Christian Kreipke reportedly described a high-roof cargo topper in development for the compact electric pickup and presented it as a possible future retail option. Kreipke reportedly pegged the add-on at about $3,000, which would turn the pickup into a fully enclosed cargo hauler for trades and small businesses that might otherwise shop used panel vans. Slate has not confirmed the kit or any pricing on its consumer channels. The company is still publicly focused on preorders and its first customer deliveries, which it has previously targeted for late 2026.
