    Reservation List - Delivery Order Priority?

    Wife’s orthopedic surgeon (M. Hogan, he put raggedy ann back together) was there. Always hoped he’d get to visit us here. My wife was his patient 1998-2005. We lived pretty close to PDK airport.

    Suggestion: DIY Delivery Center @ Slate Plant in IN

    wasn’t there some talk about another facility that would do the accessories, separate from the manufacturing?

    So many posts about, will you still buy without EV credit [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    And there is the otherside of this there are some who might be considering paying cash for one reason or another, many those that are saving in anticipation. So when the time comes instead of taking that $24.5 out of your investment accord you borrow it as you stated. In addition to your...

    Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

    Wonder if sufficient room to slide under the seat? That would only take seconds.

    Detroit July 6th cancelled

    Maybe Slate needs to incorporate one of those Costco style tarp canopy for outdoor showings? https://www.costco.com/10'-x-20'-steel-frame-canopy.product.100768239.html

    Aptera-style solar panels in SUV option.

    As discussed in elsewhere the BluettiAC 300 might be a viable option. Was temptedto take advantage of the current sale, but it doesn’t ship to Hawaii. Another case of laziness/ignorance apparently.

    Aptera-style solar panels in SUV option.

    Very limited EV knowledge. In fact, most of it picked up from end of April. I do have a bit solar experience having been off grid (of necessity) since 2005 with 12, 24, 48 volt systems that I built from scratch or heavily modified. Now my current 48 volt DC, 240vac system can accept DC charging...

    Aptera-style solar panels in SUV option.

    I guess the trick might be charging while driving? my thinking is at minimum solar charge the 12vdc component that powers ancillary stuff.

    “The Slate Truck Will Fail” - (Or will it?)

    Me either, but I suspect they envision an efficiency not available in conventional auto manufacturing based on battery as only variable and that is probably not a major adjustment.

    The Bright-side of the EV Tax Credits Going Away

    I doubt the ā€œfree moneyā€ crowd will appreciate your logic. All they care is they lost out.

    Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

    Nope, not really Kinda amazing, hear on the news like the recent Texas flooding, recent tornadoes, wild fires, etc and Thank God. We are blessed.

    Slate will manufacture its seats in house at Warsaw factory

    Seems attachment points would be same as currently planned except if over the shoulder loop is required.

    Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

    Makes me chuckle a bit. Here our concerns are earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and to some extent fire. We have friends on the CERT team. They consider our house the emergency place to go if others need to bug out. Being totally off grid, we are self sufficient but don’t have my own ham radio...

    Slate’s BYO Infotainment and the possible issue of Temperatures.

    Wouldn’t a prepper puta small PV panel and expect 1000 mile range? 😁

    Place Your Bets! (actual blank Slate starting price contest)

    Suspect you are right. My somewhat arbitrary decision point is around $2500. The range factor for basically only 1 trip I regularly make. Did a spreadsheet and based strictly on fuel costs it pencils out $2500 over 10 years. How to $ factor other factors? Don’t know. Also not considering resale.

    Slate will manufacture its seats in house at Warsaw factory

    If Slate is manufacturing own seats, I sincerely hope they explore building a small, middle, filler seat with fold down back that converts to a console.

    So many posts about, will you still buy without EV credit [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Me either, but on an old Army pension (retired over 30 years small) and small SS it would have been nice. I am curious as to how the new auto loan interest deduction pencils out.my plan was to save and most likely pay cash, but might be advantageous to save and get a loan.

    Believe Tesla chargers only on Oahu at this point. Almost rented a Tesla 2 years ago, but closest charger was too far from Hotel. We have a handful chargers on the Big Island, Kona, Waimea, Hilo. I don’t follow any of the funding initiatives, such as farce. Kinda like the rural internet. I live...
