might be only for reservation holders, I got one but my husband did not. Told him he better reserve!

 

[AZFox]

Yes, reservation holders.

Anyone can send a question anytime on Slate's website. This invite is for the streaming event on December 16.

I'm sure they'll see questions posted in this thread.
Here's one:

Will a topper with no seats or rollbar be available for people who want to haul dogs?

Ideally it'd have openable windows and a front-of-bed partition (halfway up, not all the way to the roof).

I just want a class 3 hitch for my bike rack.

 

[AZFox]

- What happens to stock wheels/tires/bumpers when you upgrade?
- Will there be a precondition button on the remote?
- Will the Slate App offer any subscription features? (Let's hope not.)
- Are there plans for some sort of Factory Delivery Program?
- What is the turning radius?

Edit:
- Will there be a bladed key or just electronic unlock via the fob?

This could get very very interesting. AZFox already posted my top question..
i’m wondering if the more they see same or similar question they see the importance of the issue.

 

[Sl8rGrl]

I'm trying to think of questions only Chris can answer, especially if we have to wait 2 weeks to hear what she says compared to instantly chatting in with one of those Slate agents

How many questions can they cover in a streaming session? They ought to post all the questions they receive online and let reservation holders up vote them. Prioritize the questions with the most votes.

I hope we get lots of *new* insights and information, but the way these things usually go it's a bunch of people that are only passively engaged, asking questions that are already well-covered.

 

[Sl8rGrl]

exactly what i was thinking, i hope the stream isn't just reiterating information already shared

Bear in mind that the vast majority of reservation holders don't even know this SlateForums site with well-covered answers to their questions exists.

Of course! I'm happy that 100,000+ people were just given the opportunity to connect and get up to (our 😆) speed on where things sit. I just don’t expect any ground-breaking announcements to be made here. Would be excited if theres some nuggets for us too.

 

[AKrietzer]

They reached over 100,000 reservations in a little over 2 weeks. I wonder how many there are now? This group seems big, but only about 1,500 members. Hopefully they will try to answer the most asked questions.
