Go to https://www.slateforums.com/forum/threads/slate-reservations-pre-order-tracking-list-stats-%F0%9F%93%8A.12645/ and copy the list of entries. Put them in a spreadsheet and sort them. I had to manually put in the totals.

I pay Rocky Mountain Power here in Southern Utah to get wind and Solar power. Their non-Solar power goes into the mix but I am paying for the Solar portion that goes to my residence.

Not seeing that solar power will cause any pollution.

There is no oil, water or gas wear to worry about. The electric charge cost is lower than buying gas. The battery is the largest cost that will deteriorate over time. EVs weigh more than an ICE vehicle because of the battery. That means the braking and the tires will take a little more...

This is hard to read but it shows the number of reservations by the 88 days since the first entry at 4/18. Notice that the number of entries trails off the farther to the right. Of course there are fewer days for people to make a reservation to the right but that should not change the overall...

Given that roughly half of the current reservations will not be used that puts me at position 57,000 or sometime toward the end of February 2027, noting that this is all very rough. I am now waiting for around 1 5/12 years. That is not so bad.

Slate will start delivering trucks in the fourth quarter of 2026. Slate will produce around 150,000 trucks per year. I put my order in on May 24, just over a month of Slate taking orders. Taking the reservation list on this site as a rough sample, I figure roughly that 125,000 orders have been...

Not sure why you would need to put batteries in the back of your Slate since it already has batteries. You just need a device to output 120 or 240 volts, preferred, to Slate from your PV input. I doubt trying to charge a 52.7kwh battery from a few solar panels will be enough. Your house system...

Not likely. Slate has a bare bones truck. Not a lot can go wrong.

I am buying a Slate because it is an all electric truck with 240 mile range and can be raised, has a lift kit.

We can generate the infrastructure without using fossil fuels. See https://www.solarpaces.org/solar-furnace-to-melt-steel-at-2000c-for-swiss-recycler-panatere/ Also see 'electrical smelters' on google.

Where else can you get a featureless 2-door truck EV for $30k new?

You have four solar panels giving during the summer around at 2.4 kWh each per day of 9.6 kWh. During the summer I am using 200 kWh per month that four solar panels will generate in 21 days. During the Winter I use 1000 kWh per month with four solar panels giving 1000/9.6=104 days. And then...

Here in Utah I buy solar power from my electric utility, Rocky Mountain Power.

I will not get the credit in any case.

I am not confused. The link gives TechCrunch as a reference.

Where did Slate confirm the 100k?

It is relevant to me because the 100k lie is being repeated quite a bit. A reservation is someone putting up $50 and signing up to get a Slate. What other kind of reservation could there be? You are saying that Slate Auto has a list. Where is that list? If you are saying that no one outside...
