    Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    I have seen a number of outlets giving a price of $27,500, $27,000 or close to $27,500. Where do they get that price? Slate may not be confirming that price or confirming how many Slates are ordered but I am giving $27,500 as the current price. You are saying it is not clear what the price is...

    Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    The Slate's initial price has been $27,500 for at least the last three months. There was some talk of $25,000 before that but that price did not hold up if it was real, given that there were few days in which people could order if it was $25,000. Slate could increase their price given Trump's...

    What is your order?

    If you keep the battery between 20% and 80% that is 60% of the total battery or with a battery of 150 miles, gives 90 miles. The question becomes how much battery will you have in the winter. I expect you would have around 60 miles of the original 90 miles. So you would have enough battery...

    Canceling my reservation [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    I would not say completely stupid. No matter how innocent the buyers of Tesla were, they are not very smart now.

    Destination and Documentation Fees

    I can see that Rivian is accepting customer information to buy a Rivian. What I was concerned with was the ability of Slate to verify an applicant's information and take the step to enforce the loan when necessary. Slate would need to keep a database of the customer's payments and have personnel...

    I doubt Slate will handle the various states. That will be up to the people in the states who buy Slates.

    Destination and Documentation Fees

    Since my vehicles are paid for, the only insurance I need is for accidents with other drivers.

    Destination and Documentation Fees

    Sales Tax for the Utah area varies but is roughly 7%. Delivery should be less than $1,000. Title and Registration will be around $100. Everything else is negligible if they happen at all. I forgot to mention paperwork when you are financing the Slate. The charges and interest when financing...

    When will I get my Slate?

    Kit352, Since Slate is distributing their trucks by rail and transportation trucks, I doubt it will make much difference on where the Slate is shipped to. Quarter 1 of 2027 seems about right. The Slate trucks will not start off being nightmares since there is very little that can go wrong.

    When will I get my Slate?

    Reporting says that the Slate now will cost $27,500. I will buy the 240 mile battery pack for $5,000, a lift kit for $1,500, 120 volt output for $300, rubber floor mats for $200, and a spare tire thrown into the back of the truck for $300, giving roughly $34,800. And then there are taxes and...

    When will I get my Slate?

    I think we could call the list here a statistical sample. 350 entries should be good enough to make some inferences from. There is no particular way that entries are selected. Anyone can add theirs.

    What's the Slate's maintenance like?

    ICE means Internal Combustion Engine.
