I would suggest giving them some time, let them finalize the specs, costs, warranty, etc. (Many EVs have an 8 year warranty on the battery - isn't that a California regulation?) Their FAQ says 10 to 20 years lifetime. Not sure why you would pay for the big battery? 4K miles a year is about 77...

I put the Detroit one on my calendar. We'll see. I did notice that the announcement said "see a Slate truck". So maybe touching / sitting in one is a bridge too far? And certainly not "test drive a Slate"!

Several years ago I was in agreement with you, it seemed like gas would be better if stranded. (No personal EV experience). But then there was that big blizzard(?) in NJ(?). Lots of people spent two days not moving on a major highway. Seems like the EV people were fine, while the gas...

I can't imagine what issues you are thinking of? I spent the first forty years of my life without a cell phone. How does ICE vs EV in rural areas play into it?

The phone probably needs to have a data connection. I still frequently drive thru areas with no cell service. (There are probably 20 FM stations floating thru the air.) Possible the radio in the dash is only 12" from the speaker, why use a BT connection when 16" of inexpensive wire would work...

Responding to (b), I think you misunderstand the tax credit. Since January 2024, it requires no income tax due to have the $7500 credit forgiven. I've had to pay attention to this since I'm retired/collecting Social Security. You do need to have the dealer provide the rebate at point of...

I read an article last year about battery costs. It claimed that they have been dropping about $25/kWh annually (at least). Speculated that by the end of this year it would be under $100. And maybe stop at about $50 per, eighteen months after that. ??? My conclusion was to delay purchasing...

Curious how you're thinking to arrange the bed area for comfortable sleeping? I'm average height and really prefer to have 6+ feet to stretch out. I was trying to work out a pop-up option for the roof, but waiting for more details. Suspect a teardrop trailer will be more practical. To your...

Don't see the Michigan robin one there yet. I was thinking a "Pure Michigan" Slate. Something on the front and a few Michigan themed slatelets

Oh no! Four days of looking at Slate Blanks and now that Toyota dashboard looks horrible crowded. Too busy! And a huge screen. All those buttons and knobs! And I now realize that I didn't list one of our current vehicles - 2007 Aveo5. With manual crank windows! We grew up with them. My...

Submitted. I obscured my reservation#, not sure why. Basically all the questions below “State” were iffy for me. Don’t know what I’m doing next week, let alone 18+ months from now. Long range battery - maybe, but it sounds like a $3000 option? Maybe it comes in more efficient and I can live...
