Funny and informative!! I liked it!

@sodamo I am assuming that conversion will be tied to delivery. That’s how we will find out which regions will be delivered first. Now for the deposit. Yes it will likely be a nonrefundable deposit. That is in line with current OEM dealers today. Most likely in the $500-$1,000 range.

I wonder if they will use the same logic for conversion invites as they are planning for delivery. If they do we should know where our early reservations may stand as compared to actual delivery.

Here is a new review of the promised Holy Grail of Batteries. The icing maybe coming off and all we will be left with is a stale biscuit.

That is an early reservation holder (in the first three hour here) and in the ‘Region’ selected for early deliveries. Slate Auto has not indicated how the Regions will be designated.

The motor cycle company owns the group making the batteries. They are a privately held entity.

Yeah, I seem to fat finger a lot more than used to. I left out the word NOT in my original post. It should have read….. I’ve NOT heard of…….

@AZFox Not sure how much effort it might take to swap a battery industry the Slate, but we have a Lightning forum member that did his own SR to ER battery swap in a Lightning and found that it required ZERO hardware or software changes. Im hopeful something like would be possible with the Slate.

I sure hope so based on the speed of change occurring in the battery industry. The Electric Viking, a highly followed EV industry influencer has just released this piece discussing a new announcement surrounding Solid State Battery technology. I have found him to be very well informed.

If it’s wrapped with a PPF and Vinyl, it will be scratch resistant and is self healing with heat. That’s not to say it’s scratch proof, but it takes a pretty good effort to scratch it beyond repair.

Looks Nice. Whats the price gonna look like?

Slates $500 wrap quote is for the material. It certainly won’t cover the application for sure. However, from what I’ve seen if they farm out the application, it will cost less than $3,000. Personally, this 70 year old is looking forward to a good do it yourself project next year. 😁

First I ‘ve never heard of an option to have it painted. I’m guessing their assuming a buyer my elect to have it painted. Not a Slate Auto direct option.

How competitively priced is the Stek film?

PPF WRAP and Roof Rack, Spare Tire Mount and a Bed Rack. Going to set it up to be roof tent camper.

I have family living about 30mins away from the factory. Wonder if I can use that as my delivery address?

I fully intend to do a DIY Color PPF wrap for sure. The brand is still up in the air, but I could be convinced. 😁

The short answer is yes. If it will take vinyl it will take PPF.

One of the question I ask the CEO was about early reservations and when an early day one reservation might be delivered. Below is the response I just received: Hi Dean, Thanks so much for submitting your question for our CEO Fireside Q&A. My name is Alysa, and I am part of the Slate team...
