    Will the Slate’s 8 seconds to 60 mph be adequate for safe highway merging?

    If the internet is to be believed, my H3 0-60 is 10.2 seconds. I've never had a problem merging or getting up to traffic speed (and I've had it on the Autobahn many many times while stationed in Holland for 2.5 years). I don't think I'd worry too much about it with the Slate. :)

    SpecRacing Series ?

    I hope there are lots of Slate owner get-togethers/local clubs, etc. When I bought my new H3 in 2006 (first model year), there were lots of "Hummer Clubs" around and I attended two of their meets. Was pretty cool meeting the owners, comparing rides, picking up groovy swag, the works. I'm...

    Probably true. Replying to you but open to anyone; what do you think the chances are of the tax credit returning, and will it be retroactive to cover the break?

    I think this exact thing happened to me too. I was looking for an EV truck over a several-day period, bummed they were all so expensive and packed with crap I didn't want, and on 27 Apr stumbled on the Slate Reveal link. I reserved soon after watching the video, but was already several days...

    Day countdown until pricing

    My Slate will be my new "daily" driver (being retired, I actually drive maybe twice a week max, and that's just into town for errands/trash). I have other cars for other purposes, but honestly most of my driving will be in the Slate.

    I'm still on the fence Not sure I like how they look in the builder, and what kind of "customization" would I need to do to my signal lights? One of those things I might have to see demonstrated before I get them.

    I think it's the one I'll probably go with.

    I'm sure Slate has a distro plan already fleshed out, but I hope it's flexible enough to accommodate forecast errors. Like, if someone earlier in the queue takes a pass, I want their spot! 😂

    lol, ya; they nailed it! I used a simple prompt in chat gpt; just loaded a pic of my desired Slate and prompted it to "redraw attached image in the art style of Rat Fink tearing down the highway" (or something to that effect) and that was it; ezpz :)

    Were I you, I'd temper my window expectations and push it to mid 2027; I fear there may be a lot of folks ahead of you in the queue (even with your fairly decent reservation date). This way, if you DO get an earlier window you can celebrate :)

    The snorkel is A+! I hope there is a block heater in there somewhere, maybe in the frunk. 😂

    I like how you asked Gemini so nicely with "Please..." :)

    Suspension Poll: Lifted, Lowered, or Standard Height?

    As this is my first EV and I'm unsure about how difficult maintenance will be, I'm opting for the lift to make oil changes easier.
