Yep! If we start seeing Slate ads on Fox News prime time, right after the life alert commercial, we will know who Slate is targeting

Yea, takes away a lot of the challenge of finding the “perfect” used model. That being said…. I won’t expect to get return on the addons I choose, like modded jeeps

A great point, which Slate certainly benefits from. A rarity in the budget category.

Not a bad idea at all, even if it doesn’t change the pricing model. With more and more EVs breaking into the 300s for range, calling a 250mi battery “extended” doesn’t feel right

Unfortunately I think navigation skills are dying with the years. Heck I still GPS my way too and from work every day, just to see traffic data and such.

Thanks for sharing!! Disappointing. Canceling public events so frequently will kill hype behind this thing. Personally I wouldn’t mind if there were no/very limited public events scheduled for another year, if we are still targeting Q4 2026 release. No need to build steam so early if you can’t...

Well we don’t even know the price of the truck, before or after incentive, so who’s to really say if it’s changed! If they can find a way to squeeze out trucks at 24k, this thing will be an absolute hit.

Sure. The incentive was a positive, now it’s gone. We never called out anyone for a positive video about Slate where they called it the sub 20k electric truck. Even if they didn’t include the federal incentive asterisk in their title. I don’t think either one is particularly dishonest, by...

And this is where Slate is going to start losing people. “We didn’t include an infotainment so you can choose your own” the alternative solution? $800, and you need to install yourself, and it’s not integrated with your car. A couple instances like this and your cheap $20k ($27k) car is more...

I’d disagree here. A $7500 hit to a $25k car hits much harder than a $250k car. Saying “who pays it” is a bit of a silly argument. If I’m the consumer I only care about the dollars I’m paying! I don’t care if the government or the company or your uncle pays the other part

I agree, necessary evil these days! I understand people who think oil should be subsidized and “green” energy should not be, and Vice Versa. Fortunately I don’t get to make those decisions!

I don’t really see how it is dishonest. Slate was advertising under 20k. Now they’re not. Not their fault, but it’s true!

Sure, nothing is perfect. But it doesn’t use oil ;)

Many purists will agree with you. Unfortunately EV adoption is not wide spread enough nationwide; and I would bet a majority of people don’t have the same opinion. Will be tough to support a business selling less for more.

Leaf is cheaper. Plenty of options at 35k that even include radios!

Good news for Slate but bad news for consumers…. The goal should be the opposite!

Example 1) asphalt. Concrete is a (better) alternative, doesn’t use oil. Why do we use asphalt? What happens when one of its main ingredients is more expensive? Markets take advantage of what is cheap.

penetration pricing is <$25k in my mind. $27k is just not nearly as attractive when you see the markets

yeah, it’s always been intentionally vague, but the linked post makes it seem like they believed they could be lower even without the credit

For sure. And none of us can control what’s subsidized and what isnt. I guess all we can do is yell at others online 😂
