  1. On the fence - first vehicle for a teenager

    Had one today pull behind me while I was waiting on a lady to load her baby and all the stuff into her car so I could grab her parking spot. The driver didn’t know how to make the Tesla to go around me. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø
  2. On the fence - first vehicle for a teenager

    Around here the old drivers run into stopped school buses with their stop sign and flashing lights. He wouldn’t stand a chance and that is coming from someone that’s had motorcycles in this area for a while. I think it’s my area. The only Bolts around here in that price range have over 100k...
  3. Bench seating for front

    The Scout is still supposedly getting the option of front bench seats, but the factory is still under construction so they are not close enough to release to know 100%.
  4. On the fence - first vehicle for a teenager

    I really like the Miata but it has very little storage so sports and music equipment would be problematic. The other thing is I have driven a Miata and it definitely encourages you to drive it sporty and insurance is already painful with a new driver. There is definitely something to be said...
  5. On the fence - first vehicle for a teenager

    I worded it poorly. It would limit the distraction potential of I am just going to lean over and roll down this other window. The screen could both be a distraction but could also cut down on picking up the phone to change music, look at directions, etc.
  6. On the fence - first vehicle for a teenager

    Considered that. The best deal I have seen is for a 2023 with 21K miles for $18,500 and then a $2000 dealer fee which they will not budge on. There don't seem to be many used on sale in this area. So it ends up not too far off from a new one with a full warranty which can be had for just...
  7. On the fence - first vehicle for a teenager

    As the title states I am on the fence with getting the slate. We know we want an electric vehicle as a first car for our teen (much less maintenance, no missed oil changes, driving without oil and blowing up the engine, and all the other mechanical things that go along with ICE). We really...
  8. 3D Hologram mailer. Did they lose my preorder?

    Op could have given a spoiler alert šŸ˜†

  10. "Design it Now" questions - accessories

    Based on the FAQ it sounds like the pricing is likely just for the accessory and then there is an additional cost to get it installed. However, it seems that you can get some accessories installed before you take delivery. Here is what the FAQ says: You can choose how and where your...
  11. Gas vs Electric cost

    FPL has off-peak rates you can sign up for but make sure the bulk of your use is off-peak because otherwise your bill will go up. They also have an EV charging program where they will put in a charger for you and you pay a monthly fee for unlimited off-peak charging...
  12. Key Reasons: How Slate Can Build an EV Truck That Only Costs $27,000

    About the time the Yugo came it at $3995. That too might have made more of an impact had the country manufacturing it not imploded. They had a 4 door hatchback model ready to go at the time everything fell apart. I agree with you that the strategy is similar. Just look at all the free...
  13. Kenda Klever S/T All-Season tire (245/65/17) on standard 17" Slate OEM wheel

    Made in Vietnam. We will see if the tariff situation affects that choice at all.
  14. Gas vs Electric cost

    It depends on the cost of electricity where you live if you are charging at home. Public access chargers vary greatly, some being free, some being free for an hour or two, some having crazy expensive costs either by kWh or time. You can look on PlugShare app in your area to get a feel for it...
