I’ve seen 118mph in my EV6, but that’s about the limit. I definitely don’t run it that fast for more than a passing move. On a Slate, 90 mph is more than adequate.

I consider myself an EVangelist, so I’m prepared to get lots of questions next year! It will also be my go to ride to car club events. I love talking about my cars!

Done!

At least power windows aren’t as big a deal as, say, the camping stove option Rivian touted in their teasers of the R1T & then yanked from the options, to the dismay of many owners. Our Slate truck is narrow enough to reach across & manually crank windows, just like we’ve done for decades until...

Too bad there’s not an option to pick it up from the factory, like some of the European makers had (possibly still have?). I’m in west Michigan, so I’d gladly take the trip to Warsaw, IN to save a destination fee. 😉

Wahoo! This is like Christmas Day! So pumped to be part of this experience!

My reservation was 4-25

I’m in Kalamazoo, MI, so not terribly far from Warsaw, IN. You just might be correct.

Woo hoo! Just like my EV6 is a First Edition. #1455/1500!

:D

Just checked my “garage” & there’s a new blank Slate there!

I will definitely be taking mine to my car club meets from February-October! My EV6 still turns heads, 4 years into ownership!

I can’t remember where I saw it, but there was a comment that frames would be coming from a trusted supplier, meaning they wouldn’t need a paint booth. Maybe that’s a heat booth (if that’s a thing?) to check plastic panel alignment?

I worked for Saturn at the retailer level, starting with the ‘91 model year-sales. Then in ‘92-98 I was on the service end. I also owned a ‘95 SW2 5 speed manual for 18 years, the rear rockers rusted out & I had to junk it at 230K+ miles. The original concept, execution, & ownership experience...

I didn’t sit in it at Navy Pier, but took some pics. It looks very nice & in production should be better.

I know in Chicago there are numerous Fast Chargers at Whole Foods, Target, Costco. That would help range anxiety.

Not everyone has access to at home charging, such as renters. I’m fortunate enough to live across street from a dealership with level 2 chargers, but if not, that would greatly reduce my confidence in owning an EV. I still think fueling stations could include a few DC fast chargers to raise the...

I still don’t understand why the big oil companies don’t install fast chargers more often. They can set the price to make some money & get the residual business as well. I get that the initial installation is very costly, but economy of scale should come into play at some point.

Well, at least the Slate can use Tesla chargers. The NACS connection makes it that much more accessible, one way to look at it.
