    Slate Marketing is making me lose interest.

    I like "How a Slate Beats the Heat." The clip was almost 3 minutes long and kept me engaged. The shorts are hard on my eyes with a series of interesting images flashing in quick succession. 🤦 I am from the generation of kids who grew up reading books and watching movies.

    Slate Marketing is making me lose interest.

    For me it is YouTube. Clips so short that I have to watch multiple times to have a better look at the truck itself. 😂

    Slate Marketing is making me lose interest.

    Now that you mentioned it, I agree, folks in the Slate commercials are more preppy than rugged. Even the thrifting/hauling was very metro-ish. They are more like current EV owners than traditional truck owners. I am neither but support whatever helps promote Slate. 🙂

    Will the Slate’s 8 seconds to 60 mph be adequate for safe highway merging?

    Do you all remember this one: And Stallone getting tossed around in the backseat of a Peugeot:

    Will the Slate’s 8 seconds to 60 mph be adequate for safe highway merging?

    After work this morning I was caught in somewhat slow traffic on 880S when a newish Corvette came weaving in and out at a high rate of speed... It wasn't a merge but the Vette was "launching" at every opening. That driver will most likely wet them pants in a Slate. 😳

    AI Says, Self driving cars will make insurance rates for Human Drivers cost prohibitive within 10 years.

    Waymo is available in my city but I haven't had the courage to try them yet. Are they safer than Uber/Lyft?

    Absolutely buying, but worried about this one thing...

    My weekend routine is a 300 mile roundtrip with a good potion over I-5. The speed limit is 70, which means folks are constantly going 20 over. With only two lanes and numerous semis, I speed to get out of harm's way. Not sure if I can handle going 105 when the limit is 85. 😱 Many years ago I...

    Jeff Bezos' rep leaves Slate Auto’s board of directors

    It is my observation as well, that the less one is born with, the stronger the drive to achieve. Lauren Sanchez Bezos didn't come from wealth either. Wendi Deng. Our First Lady. Their achievement, though using a different set of skills and attributes, is highly impressive. Those skills weren't...

    Absolutely buying, but worried about this one thing...

    A friend sent me some comments on Reddit where folks who sat in one Slate criticized the interior as cheap and plasticky. I understand that we all have different standards. I am happy in my base/mid trim cars around $20K, others require premium everything. I don't think all the Slate...

    Does the current spike in fuel prices increase the appeal of the Slate?

    8. Move contents/opinions to a different Slate forums. 9. Some real-life crap has dampened his/her spirits. They are a seasoned forum user with the most messages and highest reaction score here. One intense debate isn't going to keep them away. I am inclined to think that real-life factors are...

    Hey Slate! You're out of events!

    The event in San Diego sounds awesome! I have never been to any event with a live DJ. This one has cars, bikes, stunts, tacos and Slate!! 🤩🤩

    Does the current spike in fuel prices increase the appeal of the Slate?

    If we start a poll, maybe he/she will come back. Something like "where has AZFox gone?" 1. Went after R2. 2. Bought a Maverick. 3. Bought a Bolt. 4. Partner says no truck. 5. Got hired by Slate. 6. Got hired by Lucid. 7. Still mad after the march argument. 8. ... Geeze I don't know...

    Does the current spike in fuel prices increase the appeal of the Slate?

    What are we supposed to do when our friends are arguing? The only thing I can do is say something stupid so they will unite and come at me instead. 🤷
