I would substitute “pleasant” with “acceptable”. The pleasantness comes from my monthly expenses

Road noise? - Heavily dependent on the tires, have we heard the "thump" of the door yet? I would say better than average, if you are including engine noise with road noise, considering there is no engine :) Overall ride, smooth or choppy? - Probably pretty smooth, but 1pd is uncomfortable at...

Sure, what is it called in an EV when you need to insert a key… “push to activate”? I imagine all EVs currently don’t require the key to be inserted anywhere to drive them. I was just taking slates language from their reply

Yeah curious how this would work. That being said, RF chips are dirt cheap, so push-to-start probably wouldn't be that expensive of a "luxury".

Again- it's not "knowing how to drive" for me, it's meeting the legal requirements and not chaining up/down dozens of times in the winter. I'm team RWD as standard, AWD as an option. Totally think that a light duty truck has limited/no need for 4x4 for most consumers. In fact, modern trucks...

Ahh north texas, known for their challenging winter driving conditions

Is it confirmed that the larger battery is an extra pack entirely? I would assume it would just be a separate, but larger pack with additional modules. Having two packs would be interesting, more harnesses, PCBs, etc, not to mention the charging and output changes that would come from utilizing...

If it’s the price the consumer pays, it’s a fair comparison

I wonder if there are any vehicles sold in America (new) with no connectivity. Seems to be standard now

Have you used any of big autos apps? They would be impressive, if they were made by high schoolers. Building apps is pretty easy. Remote AC/Heat, battery levels, that’s about it. Not that and app is a dealbreaker for me, but let’s not pretend it will add any significant cost

I’m hoping CC2s will be available and suitable on the Slate. Popular choice on M3s out here. Nice to not have to switch year round. KO3s will likely be my choice, depending how much they ruin gas mileage.

And on the dark side, the passes sit in R1 from approximately 30 minutes after the first snowfall in November, until a week after the last in May. Usually about a week gap in January/February when there’s a drought 😂. I thought they were going to call chain control last weekend! I know, I’m an...

I’d be willing to bet a good chunk of people signed up for the forum when the hype was high, and never returned. it’s a $50, refundable deposit, not a marriage license

For sure. The comment said these functions are already available on a phone or tablet. They are not, without a specific accessory.

The carplay interface is not available anywhere other than on installed carplay radio units. You can not use it on an ipad, or a phone, or anything else. Carplay has two great draws: 1) Easily display both GPS/Route, as well as music playing. Very easy to quickly control, for example...

Yep. I want AWD to meet the requirement. If it's so bad that I don't think I can drive, I don't. Hasn't failed me yet, perhaps some day it will.

There are 317 reservations listed on the tracker. Most of them have a reservation number attached. There ya go.

My personal desire for AWD or 4x4 is purely based on Caltrans requiring chains on 2wd vehicles in winter storms- and enforcing it. 95%+ of consumers dont ever "need" AWD or 4x4, so I get why slate left it out. It does have me feeling left out, though :(

That's good news. I imagine I will be too soon to get the AWD version, and will use my RWD as a long-term tester, speced to the minimum, and if I like it and still feel I need AWD, can upgrade 2-4 years later.

.5s clips to hide how uncomfortable the back seat is for adults :rock: I'll be in the driver's seat, sorry passengers!
