  8. Is there official word on where Slate stands on "Right to Repair"?

    Repair work on high voltage systems should be done by a qualified individual. Even if with the 150 mile pack, if you do 0-100% that's 300,000 miles. And "2000 charges" is where the battery reaches 80% of its original capacity. (or 180,000 miles as another said). The extended range battery...
