Growing up in a densely populated city, I relied on public transportation and taxis. My family got by without a car until my grandpa gifted my brother a Ford Escort upon his college graduation. I drove it when he was out of town and wasn't attached at all. I didn't need to own a car until 2006...

I found out about Slate last August and reserved one the same day. Everything about it hits the sweet spot with me. Life style changes in the last three years made an EV a much better choice as a main ride. I found a weekend getaway that I may be able to spend my golden years at. There are two...

Thanks so much! I am keeping my Mazdas no matter what. Just don't want to worry about coolant leaks or coolant in oil any more. 😅

The ride is definitely not as loud or bumpy. Again there was a gusty wind warning over the Pacheco Pass but I didn't feel unstable at all. Maybe it wasn't quite gusty. However, my mpg is down to what Mazda intended at 31. 😭 It was in the upper 30s for a very long time. Will check the tire...

That's what I found online as well. If plugging is $45, patching+plugging must be even more. 😬 Have you heard that once a tire is patched/plugged in two places, it has to be replaced after a third puncture?

Admin can you move this portion to a different corner of this forum: current Mazda owners with wandering eyes. 😁 The fans are at slateforums. I haven't seen one in person yet.

The Uniroyal TigerPaws are still working for me. 😂 I moved my well established Oleander plants to my weekend spot and kept them in the tires for two weeks. Now that I have secured a ground-breaking pitch fork, I can put the plants in the ground. The tires were previously partially buried in...

I didn't know that old tires were on the Porsche that got Paul Walker killed. 😬

On my weekend trips there are two sections in the hills with frequent high wind warning. In recent months, I could feel getting pushed more than before. Will find out in a few weeks if the new tires grip the road better. There had been a few storms this year but I didn't feel unsteady in the...

My next car is going to be the Slate EV. 😁

Is there any way to avoid nails on the road? Like a super magnet mounted on the bottom of the front bumper or something, to pick them up before they stab the tires...

Sorry I wasn't clear, the picture were taken of the worn tires AFTER they came off. I keep them for other uses. The new set OEM size was mounted yesterday. 😅

Thank you! The new set is 2026. I don't think I'd go for online tire deals again. There's a reason why they are cheaper.
