I thought the Slate wasn't a truck? (This is unserious)

Sure, totally agree. Some buyers will be pulled from Slate to leaf, some Leaf Buyers to Slate, some will go buy a Escalade because they can and that’s what they were in the mood for today. Competition is good for the consumer, and the leaf will likely push on Slate to provide a better value...

The app is free

Only concern would be warranty and ongoing support from OEM. And, if they only sell 100, you won't be getting one :idea:

May as well check out the Yorktown while you're there!

Oh wait… they already build those (and they don’t sell)

For sake of taking whacks while we wait for more news, I'll take a whack at your whack! Referencing my original post- I was saying the Leaf will potentially drive some drivers who are not interested in a specific form factor - if you want a EV truck- the slate will always win over the leaf...

100%. In my opinion, Slate drew a large chunk of people who wanted a cheap EV to pop around in. Some need the form factor of the Slate, but most do not. For that buyer, it is hard to argue the Slate is a better option, assuming equal price.

Slate already solved that problem- don't include it! (Obvious sarcasm)

I dunno.... the projects were "full steam" when there was an artificial incentive to sell them, now they are dead when the playing field is "level" (less the everlasting oil subsidies, but that's another topic). Companies are canceling these projects as a result of demand swings... to say they...

Great point... Much like the Lions, Slate will be chasing big brother's (the Packers) long history of success. Hopefully Slate does a better job passing them up, rather than settling for a couple years of above average!

Grain of salt.... Most likely pulling repeated figures with no base

I agree with this statement- but I find this forum a bit funny. They praise the "top talent" recruited from legacy manufacturers (Chrysler, Tesla, etc.) but then will say those same companies are making idiotic decisions, don't care about the consumer, etc. Granted that 100% could be due to...

Seems to be a no-news is news story. Not a bad thing, just kind of funny. In my experience commissioning, you generally don't see major timeline delays before you start even throwing equipment in the building. (If you do, someone really screwed up!) One thing I thought was interesting-...

Bummer! You should buy it if you need a new car, can afford it, and this car fits your needs the best of available cars on the market.
