    I set the temperature in the app to 28° and it added one more stop, not sure that’s taking into account that I would like it to be 65° inside the truck and not 28°

    Questions: Why market as a truck? Does Jeff B know something about the future of the tax rebate?

    also this: if the price of the Maverick has gone up $4,225 that would make loosing that $7,500 tax credit not as bad, still bad especially adding options like lift, tires and extended battery will probably be over $5,000

    House introduced bill to phase out $7500 federal EV tax credits 👎

    Agree, and with the Ford Mavrick Price rising if Slate can keep the same projected price I think they will be OK

    Reservation List - Delivery Order Priority?

    not really, unless the Federal EV tax credit expires for the first 200,000 new vehicles produced by that manufacturer at the end of 2026 like everyone fears it will, then I want to get mine by end of year 2026 or if able to sign a purchase agreement so the government can send Slate my $7,500...

    Reservation List - Delivery Order Priority?

    FIFO? Reservation or Purchase Agreement signed and financing approved? huge difference, I’m guessing out of the 100,000 reservations 40% will not commit, maybe 20% will not get financing of that 50,000 that may commit, how many will move fast to fill out paperwork to purchase?
