Nothing is free, a $25,000 discount is a red flag.

I might trade in or Finance it directly with Slate, I haven't decided yet. If it was tomorrow, I would trade in.

I know this is an oversimplification, but given that Slate's factory capacity is 150,000 yearly, that means each quarter's production is about 37,500. If people are being moved to Q2, does that mean they are in the 75,000 units range? According to the CEO, the break-even point is 80,000...

Oh, I see; that makes sense, I thought that if you choose to have them wrap the truck for you they would also apply it.

I noticed that the Fender Flares cover part of the "1st Shift" decal. I wonder if Slate will address this. I might go without Fender Flares if they don't change it lol.

Surprised me: the 205 range! I was going for 150 so this is a plus for me. Mildly disappointment: The new off-road tires, this is personal preference but I like more the first ones. Original: New:

I can't believe this is how I find out. 😆 I was looking forward to the official announcement though, not so much anymore but we will see!

Lol that's alright. I just love that old school truck look of the Toyota with the huge branding, the beauty about the slate is that we can customize it how we like it 😍🛻

Yeah, I think I remember that too. I'm glad they fixed it but I wish it was bigger, Toyota got it right with the Hilux, it need to say "I'm here, I'm cool and this is my name".

Also, I remember in the first Slate videos on YouTube it didn't say "Slate" at the back lol. Always bothered me a bit because it was a missing opportunity for product awareness, I feel better now that it's there. Lol

I think it was for the EV credit, as a the time SK On only manufactured NMC in the USA, I'm not sure thought. NMC is better for colder climates, performance and energy density. I think it would be cool if they use LFP for the standard range and NMC for the long range/colder climates (energy...
