    LFP Battery Chemistry

    Sodium may be interesting, but I got burnt with the Aquion saltwater version, bankrupt about 30 days after I bought over $35k worth. Then they barely lasted 2 years. Love my LiFePo replacements.

    PSA: Extended Range Battery can NOT be added / retrofit installed after purchase (confirmed by Slate)

    Would love to hear more of your experiences with this. Could be what I’m looking for, something I can plug in to my solar at home and then take with me to plug in to my Slate mounted panels. Also gives me great hope what else might be available in a year or so.

    Order Fastback top without rear seat?

    So true. Caught myself the other day thinking, Gee, wish I were 10 years younger (be 79 this year). Quickly corrected thinking to, Hope I get to enjoy this truck at least 10 years.

    Slate vs. Telo

    Nah, 1 as in 1st try, not 1 as #1, best

    This is the small truck Tesla should have produced...

    I’m thinking most of the initial buyers will NOT be the low income crowd. That crowd may very well dominate the used market.

    Another fun commercial: "We’re bringing back crank windows. Get ready to get strong."

    Not a current EV owner, but is AC needed for the vehicle itself if you live in a hot area? Preconditioning? Personally, I don’t expect to use any more than I do in current vehicle, which is very seldom. We do use the sunroofs all the time.

    Slate vs. Telo

    Years ago had a similar poster on a different forum. Wonder if same guy? Anyway when people complained he defended his laziness in some absurd manner. Partially absurd in that it was posted in same unreadable manner. We put him on ignore. Guess he went away. I tend to just give up after a few...

    I don’t remember ever thinking about it at the time, let alone remembering now.

    Order Fastback top without rear seat?

    Fastback without seats is apparently the CEO’s choice

    Poll for release preorder date

    Mine is more hopeful than reality, but truly I do want to see earlier and hopefully that would provide some advantages. Would I preorder with a down payment.? Yes with a 90 day delivery.

    Introductions & Welcome Thread đź‘‹

    In what regards? EV charging? My limited knowledge right now is either Level 1 or 2 charging just as you would on grid. Just plug in and wait. The difference is drain on the solar battery as at this point I don’t know of a direct solar to EV charging device that doesn’t involve AC. My preference...

    Slate vs. Telo

    I have serious doubts about the Telo. They have 1 almost preproduction vs how many for Slate? and they have been at it longer. Truthfully I came away from the Jay Leno video more disenchanted. I would like to see Jay do a similar video about the Slate, as long as it is unbiased. I got the...

    I see a great opportunity for this technology, but haven’t seen it addressed. The elderly.

    Autosteer and Adaptive Cruise Control

    True but you miss my point. yes people adapt, but that assumes they have experience to adapt from. given how insurance companies rate young, inexperienced drivers, probably safe to safe that once we reach the point that all a driver knows is the self driving vehicles they have no experience how...

    Autosteer and Adaptive Cruise Control

    I have to wonder about the new generation of “drivers” coming up. if all they have known are these self drive features, what will happen when encountering a massive failure and they have no clue how to react.
