Anyhooo..... I'm looking forward to learning more about the cargo kit, because that's how I want to configure my Slate.

I once insured a self assembled vehicle (kit car) and they simply said, "what do you want it insured for?" My payment was then based on the liability coverage (which is probably uniform, based on the driver) plus the replacement value that I gave them.

Bahahahaha!!!! Good one, Slate! :giggle:

If it makes you feel any better, "this might be the last time" is technically true for all of us. Having said that, it doesn't make me feel any better. :(

My 1980 4-cyl! Objectively a terrible car but I loved it and have a ton of stories that will go with me to my grave. :rock:

My very first concert was REO Speedwagon at the Ohio State Fair. Mom made my brother take me with he and his friends. It was slightly delayed due to weather so we were literally "Riding the Storm Out." Good times!

I'm planning on lowering ours to make animal loading easier. Pot-bellied pigs are not known for their jumping ability.

Just to throw my $0.02 in here, most small utility trailers (5'x8') have a 2000# total weight and I see a LOT of those around. Also, that's what I will tow the most so 2000# is the sweet spot for me!

That could be an "art car", which is equally stupid, IMHO. There are some art cars that are really clever and interesting but the ones with stuff just glued to the outside are dumb. Again, IMHO, YMMV, ETC...

I'm one of those that will likely go with the 240 mile version. My wife and I each have an elderly parent that live close to each other but not to us. We go visit them just about every weekend and the round trip is about 130 miles. Now, there are chargers in the area and we could easily stop but...

As someone that needs to haul dirty things, the SUV / Cargo Slate is still the obvious choice for me. I'm not going to buy an Equinox just to strip it down. My daily driver is currently a cargo van so I'm not going to miss all the tech, I don't have it anyway.

Sandbagging. I see what you did there.

My answer is: I don't know yet, but when something does break, I look forward to Slate U allowing me to fix it myself. I've done enough maintenance on vehicles over the years to know that things are getting harder and more guarded against the DIY'er. I'm hoping that changes with Slate.

While I agree, I think I might prefer a cage over the window when hauling the dogs. They need AC, heat, and tunes too! I'm sure the aftermarket will address that issue.

The cargo version is the only version I'm interested in. If I can't get that, I don't think I'll order one. Having said that, I prefer it to have windows. I want the SUV top without all the interior stuff.
