How does “around” $27,500 - $7,500 = “as low as” $19,000?

I’m not bothered by a grand, just noting math is a real thing.

201 horsepower... that's the highest of anything in my fleet by almost 40hp LOL
Top speed of 90 is good, but I have regularly seen people on the highways here hit that as a pack of cars so I'll be finding out how the limiter works very quickly.

 

[JeffVA]

201 HP is awesome. To put it in perspective the small Toyota 22R engines produced 105 HP

Respectable. Probably on par with my 4.0 liter Tacoma considering electric will have less powertrain loss.

Very happy with charging specs - just like my Mach E charge specs...

• Charging Port: NACS (Tesla standard)
• Charging Speeds:
  • AC Charging: Up to 11 kW
  • DC Fast Charging: Up to 120 kW; 20–80% charge in approximately 30 minutes

Would be curious as to width inner and outer edges of bed rails.

Maybe this proves the Admin doesn't work for Slate. Everyone is assuming the base price is $27,500 before incentives. I actually think it will be $25K or somewhat less. Either way, all of this is mere speculation until actual pricing is announced...hopefully at the same time accessory pricing is announced.

 

[sodamo]

For me accessory pricing will be as important as the base price so has to be same time frame. Will I still get the bare bones blank Slate? Yes if price if right and I feel there is hope for the non seat SUV. Given the tax credit unknowns I’m hopeful that if there is at least some credit I will use that toward accessories.
