I do love that Glocks like a Slate are the easiest to upgrade for more features / benefits the regular owner can customize: lights, lasers, night sights, triggers, magazine capacities, interoperable caliber change frame, slide change, recoil control porting,, etc... (Disclaimer: retired FFL...

If it's anything like Amazon style, I can see short term 0% financing like their current Amazon business invoicing (pay by invoice). For long term, they will use other companies for financing or leasing banks as Amazon partners with: Chase Amazon Prime Visa and American Express Prime Business...

Yes, 168 seems excessive in that part of the state that's rural, very low population, and only has the major i5 freeway that people use. In comparison the huge Baker, CA off the I15 to Vegas that has 96 older V2/V3 Superchargers that we non Teslas can't access.... The biggest change is that...

My Price is Right show guess: Standard Range base: $ 29,950 Extended Range base: $ 34,950

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-massive-solar-supercharger-california/ This is great news for those that travel between Northern California and Southern California! 84 stalls are open now. 168 stalls will open at the end of 2025. These Superchargers do not rely on the power grid and works off...

Well said and appreciate the rough numbers. Interest paid on car loans does not seem much since the standard deduction went up.

Not sure about the Slate for $27K when I could get an EV now till Sept 30 and capture the $7500 tax credit. As a government worker and falling under the income cap, I deserve the tax credit. Past 3 EVs, captured: $4000 PHEV state rebate $7500 Lightning EV credit $3750 Mach E EV credit $1200...

Last year when I visited Kona and Oahu, the public charging seemed very sparse (compared to So Calif). Most were Tesla Superchargers in the Waikiki area. Are there plans to get more charging stations on the islands ? How is the NEVI funding going to affect the new Tritium stations ?

No more EV tax credits effective today. US made EVs only until Sept 30, 2025....

Yah, drove my wife crazy when we test drove a Honda Prologue - set to 1PD and made her nauseous with the lurching in traffic. Sales person showed us how to turn it off and never to 2PD and it was a fantastic test drive. Hoping the Slate will have on/off 1PD.

Be very careful what you put on to the 12V bus. EVs are notorious for low 12V issues. My Ford EV has a stop sale / recall for the 12V going low and trapping people in the car ! I put in a small 12V 12Ah gel cell battery that is solar charged to power my UHF and VHF 2way radios.

2 days later, I got mine too! Love this forum.

Since you like Honda products, take a look at the Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX - both are GM Ultium platforms but for a short 2 year lease until Slate starts up, I think I am going to go with them! Huge $20K price drops makes it very tempting.

Gee I never got anything...

😅Of all the new cars I have had, my '23 Ford BEV has been the least problematic of all - OTOH the worst was a new Land Rover Discovery that was on the other end of the spectrum.... However, as the Ford Mach E just reached 30K miles, it is starting to show up with many annoying issues: Front...

Yes, if you drive exclusively 1PD then it's a matter of practicing. But I also drive white fleet vehicles (government exempt cars and trucks) and they are all 2PD. So to prevent muscle memory issues at my old age, I'd rather not get into an accident with my 2PD and 3PD work vehicles as I would...

Yes I noticed the OnStar SOS button on the headliner. The infotainment system looks antiquated GM style too. Charging at Tesla Supercharger requires you to tell it you are a GM Blazer vehicle... It will do for 2 years when the Slate should be out.

Not mention that not only is the $7500 tax credit applied at the time of sale; Honda Financial is kicking in $9000 of cap cost reductions!

With the Slate, no; but my past 2 EVs have had the tax credits applied (after the sale) instead of POS.

I am now seriously going to lease the Prologue for 24 months because who knows how long the Slate will take. My Ford BEV is starting to give me issues as I near the end of warranty....
