I started using this handle a few decades ago when I was having a lot of dental work done. One weekend I was at a recreation park & at the picnic table next to me was a large family of mostly adults. Everybody from teenage & older were sporting permanent body-art, & everyone 30's & older were...

I feel left behind in this discussion. Maybe I need to post a profile pic.

Maybe you can. Not all of us have the right physical attributes.

Exactly my original point: if it's a button on the driver side, then yes. If it's a button or crank on the passenger side, then park it first. Unless you're my age & physical condition: then park it & walk around to the passenger side. Nine of the first ten cars I owned had hand-cranks. The...

I got the same response in regards to NY $2000 POS EV rebate.

Since the announcement last week stated that a power window kit is not available, this is all moot. Will it be available in the future? Does the single SKU include power to the doors for a possible future power window kit? My original post did not presume a separate model SKU for a power...

Would spare parts be available?

You need a rational decision process, not group-think: https://creately.com/guides/rational-decision-making-model/

My positive assessment of the build quality comes from the involvement of Munro Associates. Compared to all the other video endorsements, this one satisfied my manufacturing engineering brain.

Maybe including installation? I'd opt for DIY.

Exactly. Case in point: when I started driving, males paid more for car insurance than females. There was a sex discrimination lawsuit followed by some legislation & now women & men are on the same scale.

Geographic region is a big one. If the actuaries can legally carve out a demographic to charge you more, they will.

I've been an industrial/manufacturing/supply chain engineer for almost 40 years. I hear what you're saying about exploded part count & LRP, but Slate's plant is a primary assembly operation with mostly purchased sub-assemblies. The only thing they're fabricating in-house is the frame. Most...

First to drive a Slate in a demolition derby. First to use Slate in a clown-car circus act. First Slate to tow a small-town parade float. First Slate parked on concrete blocks with the wheels removed in front of their run-down mobile home. First Slate impounded at the border for running drugs.

You must have seen some reposted old news.

Although the hand-crank windows base feature is what got my attention regarding Slate's simplicity, upon reflection I think I may actually want power windows. It depends on how the switches are configured. You see I'm becoming old & infirm & would rather not lean across to the manual crank on...

Lock washers & rubber grommets.

But it might affect warranty coverage, or if you're in an accident it could affect insurance & maybe even legal liability.

You could probably stay under the speed limit about 25% & be fine. Maybe slower yet on curves & hills.

Depends on supply vs demand. Back in 2008, Prius hybrids had a 6-12 month lead time. Late model low mileage cars were going for $5k over new retail. However, a scalper would be taking a risk on converting their Slate pre-order to an order just to sell it at a profit. If demand is soft or Slate...
