Not even sure how bike rack + spare tire would work, if nothing else the rack has to extend out the tire width farther than it would without the tire. But yeah, load it up with everything, and the 1400 lb capacity doesn't seem so big. Just going by my possibly flawed recall of what others have...

It's country wide. The federal government is letting the program expire, so states can't issue or recognize the stickers anymore. As of September 30, the stickers are all invalid and you can be fined.

yeah, whatever the Telo does with 14 inches, the slate has multiple feet that can crush down to under a foot in a serious crash before the cabin is touched, and the plastic lined frunk and it's contents won't be an issue unless you filled it with concrete blocks or something.

In part that "reserve capacity" is so they can keep giving you the same range years down the road. Cell phone manufacturers are starting to do similar,

I haven't seen anything like that related to tow capacity. In many states apparently, if it has a bed then it's primarily for transporting cargo, so it's a truck, and you pay extra for commercial registration. You can get around it with a camper shell (or in slate's case, an SUV kit) but you...

Cybertruck is in a whole different class, because it tries to be a "supertruck" Slate is the opposite of that. It is a truck, not something that people are buying to somehow try to ride out the apocalypse. For cybertruck's weight class, it could have a lot more cargo volume, in a reasonable shape.

I think rear facing bed seats would be difficult to fit. Just behind the rear wall of the "truck" configuration, there is a panel in the bed that gets removed to become a footwell, and the rear seat sits directly on the bed just behind that footwell, from what I've seen. A rear facing seat would...

Looking at the rear bumper, the standard one appears to be a step bumper, with the license plate recessed. Often you see trucks where a hitch ball mounts directly into a hole in a bumper like that, probably that would qualify for a 1000 lb towing capacity. there do appear to be something on each...

I guess thinking about it, engine compartments have gotten tighter, if the Telo does have 14 inches of space from inside the bumper to the "firewall" that may help, but even with modern ICE vehicles, there is space between the bumper and radiator, radiator and engine, etc that adds up, and each...

Those potential rebates vary a lot by state, and even locally. Some cities, counties, and even utilities may offer some rebates, so everyone needs to check into what is available for them. I am not seeing that the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit was cancelled so far, with that credit...

That would probably be picking up the slate in base configuration, and either having the flat pack kit loaded in the bed or delivered. Convert to open air when you get home.

Wraps are supposed to start at around $500, without installation. I think that is the only option price that has been mentioned. Then there is that website that was posted here somewhere that was showing full wraps for the slate at $500 installed. Somewhere slate mentioned options pricing...

From what I can find, the focus wasn't tow rated in the US. Doesn't mean you can't tow, and in other countries it apparently was tow rated, but for comparison to the anticipated 1000 lb US tow rating of the slate, the focus was a zero. Looks like no tow rating means if you tow with it, and...

At any kind of normal travelling speed, yes windows down is worse than AC on, but in many locations windows up AC off is just not going to be an option part of the year.

Seat heater is supposed to be available as an add on, as a seat cover.

In that case, the person answering probably doesn't have the answer, someone in engineering might, but it could be something they haven't finalized yet as well. The pedestrian detection and other safety features besides the backup camera haven't been shown at all, so they may not be allowed to...

And the 80% complete offshore wind farm that has been stopped for "national security"?

Part of the problem with that $7500 is, for the people who needed it most, it wasn't available. Assuming you have no deductions or retirement contributions at all to reduce your income, so you only have the standard deduction for 1 person, You aren't going to have $7500 in tax liability unless...

There is just little time left for slate to work that out and beat the IRS deadline, especially since they haven't solidified pricing, date, or warrantee. They wouldn't want to enter the contract on their side and end up having to break it either. If they announced a contract availability...

Even those in the public displays and events were likely off the shelf. It's just a guess which were built first, those prototypes with the kill button under the dash, or this mock up we are only seeing now.
