Stupid smart phone...betrayed by lack of grammar checker - again! (Note my gratuitous use of ellipses, a dash, and certainly some sentence fragmentation.) :cool:

Tesla set an interesting precedent. Doc fees are profit to the dealer. The claim that it pays for administration is utter rubbish, especially since it’s all done right in front of you or remotely. I’m rooting for Slate to really exploit the difference in fees to democratize the purchase for...

Good thoughts. I've installed a decent number of non-OEM receivers to various SUV's and usually the boys at etrailer.com have either developed one, or demonstrated the best Curt, etc one that works for that vehicle. I'm dialing back my ambitions though. If I'm weight-constrained by BIG...

Well heck, if they keep them rare, it becomes a moot point for us boring Slate groupies. We'll be plugging along and relying on our gauche frunks to catch the brunt of our carelessly rear-ending the cars in front of us.

Bus ticket receipt might weigh less?

It's an amazing phenomenon. A whole generation of men just shoved it deep down inside and never talked about it -- they all suffered so none thought of themselves as special. At 103, my dad can still remember precise details of forced marches, assaults, winter in Hurrican Forest, the cruelty...

That was my original question, I guess. 870# + bike weight = ? Towing capacity of Blank Slate is what? 1,000#?

I’ve heard that 30 times from salespeople.

Lived in Chicago (with jackets AND gloves)…it didn’t take. So I FRY in GA in the summer. You motorcycle guys are a different breed. Looking forward to your video journey when you take delivery. Sounds fun (Devil’s Dandruff, notwithstanding.)!

Greyhound Bus Lines, 707 N Park Ave, Warsaw, IN 46580 ...

I hope you take delivery in the late Spring, in this case. Indiana winters can be unpleasant. I like your creative problem solving. I guess pulling no more than 1500# trailer would work...you'd be a frequent charger on the way home? I'm waiting for someone to offer to take a Greyhound to...

It's INDIANA...give them a year to create SlateVegas.

Agree. Otherwise why not just sign up for a factory tour anytime after production begins? Yours would be one of many thousand anonymous storm troopers (blank slate).

Well that would be intensely practical. I had Santa riding the new sleigh 🛷 images, rolling down I65 to Nashville and then banging a left on I24 and a Right on I75 South…shedding layers of blankets every 100 miles (charging stops).

Since I'm willing mine to be ready at Christmas 2026 and I want the "open air" SUV...might make for a chilly ride from IN back down south...

That would be fun! One-way flight from ATL to Ft Wayne, IN = $420...wonder what destination charge would be instead?

I have a boxer in my mix, too. I understand the assignment.

Keep the doggy treats to a minimum, my friend.

But but but...you could just put them in the frunk right? That's not in the back with the corpulent passengers!? (yes, I am kidding...I liked the idea of 4 big ol boys in the front and pulling a tiny wheel-barrow sized trailer for their bags, though.)

Imagine if we had the same proportion of As was mentioned before...best not to have portly friends in the rear if you are running ER battery and SUV (and spare etc). If I kitted it out, I'd be left with a couple of 50# kiddos and a 45# dog!
