Here's a screenshot of the stats from.the video if anyone is interested.

These are most likely just marketing and sales people that respond to the emails. I find it likely they really aren't told much and won't be until they are atleast comfortable with the production prototypes. I've been less active lately but I don't think they have assembly line done other than...

I tend to take these email replies with a huge grain of salt, but hopefully the word availability means that if there is one, it's an extra and not required.

Oh, I didn't know they changed that. Neat.

The digital key is nice but I've found that it's not trustworthy enough to use on its own without keeping a key with you. But also, unless the EV's are different, Bluelink does have a subscription cost, it is just included for free for three years.

Are you talking about Bluelink or Digital Key, out of curiosity?

I went Saturday. I was worried with it being too small but I was surprised, even with it being the SUV kit, how much room it had.

I agree, I sat in the one in Cleveland as well, and I remember it being surprisingly roomy.

I was never really bothered by the name but rather the lack of traditional door handles. Hopefully thats a design choice Ford doesn't stick with for this truck.

Even the reps don't seem to have the same answers. I agree its a good idea not to rely on much until we get to production.

I don't remember what's all been said or not, but I think it was along of the lines of they won't do tours at the factory. That said, maybe they can't sell the Slates from the factory due to IN's laws.

I very much agree with this being more of an opportunity. I would prefer not to have some touchscreen to pull out and make ewaste in order to put in the old RadioShack headunit I have. Which if you ask me, is better than any modern cars these days due to it having AM/FM and the WeatherBand as...

We won't know of course until we have a final product in hand but I'd imagine the hidden screws don't actually really hold the panel in place when the exposed fasteners are on.

Having borrowed a Wrangler once, they also have the window switches in the center console. I find this to be a weird design decision especially considering it also has the door lock switches on the door. I didn't know the Bronco had it that way as well.

I meant more like how most other EV's (that I know of atleast) let you change the amount of regen braking. I believe Hyundai (I test drove a Kona once) that let's you adjust between no regen, and then two different levels before having 1 pedal driving mode. Kind of sounds like Slate won't have a...
