    🔋 The Extended Battery Decision (Poll: Which battery option suits you best?)

    And it is a very easy calculation. "Below 20k after incentive" means below $27,500 without incentive. If Slate wanted to sell their vehicle farther below $20k, they would have said that.

    If the product is still for sale, has not been sold. When there are several copies of the product the price can also increase. Note inflation.

    Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    My meaning is that it is not only what the buyer is willing to pay. When a sale is made it is an agreement between the buyer and seller. How that agreement works out depends on the kind of product or service under question.

    Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    Price is determined by an agreement between the seller and the buyer. It is not what the buyer is willing to pay. Some products such as the food you buy at WalMart are completely determined by WalMart. Some products as perhaps the car or house you buy might be negotiated somewhat. Negotiations...

    Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    Slate told us that when the $7.5K federal discount was in effect that they would sell for just under $20K. That means that the price of the Slate before using the federal discount was just under $27.5K.

    Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    So when you go to the store to buy something, the cost given by the store does not mean anything. It is what you are willing to pay. I wonder how the store figures that out. We might say that a store price is advertised, you then go to the store and bargain with them if they are willing to bargain.

    It is out of date for the tax incentive since there is no more tax incentive. Except Slate got their $20K price from subtracting $7.5K from their current price. How does the current price become out of date?

    $27,500 is the current best price. That is $20,000 the original quote from Slate given the federal discount of $7,500 and without the federal discount gives $27,500.

    I would not say it is that speculative. That is Google's AI price for the extra cost of the long range battery on the Slate.

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    I have seen it does not make any difference at which level you charge. 240 volt dryer circuit will work fine if your level 2 charger is set to take 24 amps. Check your circuit breaker for the switch on the amperage. Usually a level 2 charger will take more than 24 amps and so you will need to...

    Open Air Mode Slate Pickup w/ Blue Wrap (from Rhode Island event showing)

    You are making the Slate price way too hard. Before the federal EV discount went away (now lasting until the end of this September but Slate can not be bought until the last quarter of 2026), Slate was saying under $20,000 with the $7,500 federal discount. That means without the federal...

    What is Slate competing with for YOUR money?

    If you take the list of reservations from the Slate Reservations Pre-Order Tracking List & Stats page as a sample, you can estimate how many reservations there are. Given that there were 100K reservations two weeks in, that would expand to around 130K reservations now. There has been a drop off...

    What is Slate competing with for YOUR money?

    Except Slate has built around 70 initial Slate trucks and crashed more than half to see how well they do. Slate is also running around the country giving the public a view of the Slate truck. Slate has also invested in a truck building plant in Warsaw, Indiana. Slate is said to have hired 400 or...
