Everything you say makes perfect sense. But it will still feel like everyone is cutting line, if you were there first. 🙁 Just human nature.

The only hint so far has been a comment from the CEO that they will start deliveries on a regional bases. They have not disclosed what the regions are or what it is based on. The bottomline is that our reservation position will not play the primary factor in when we might see our order open...

I do expect the Ford to have a larger footprint than the Slate. I also expect it to have a larger $30k footprint than the Slate. I am interested in the long range battery of the Slate so I fully expect my Slate truck configuration to slide into the $30k category. You can see it in my aviator.

I don’t have all the quality information and analysis of that data as some who have posted very informative information here, but I do have one point that needs to be made. If (big if) Ford can deliver their feature rich $30k small EV pickup at or very near the same time Slate launches its...

Here’s the take from a Canadian EV enthusiast I have followed for several years now. Just another prospective.

I’m sorry your cup is always half empty. I will give them the benefit of the doubt until it shown to be untrue. A smart person once said: “Live in Hope or Die in Despair.”

Looking more and more likely that some folks may have to eat their words. I hope that turns out to be true. The better this turns out the better for those of us that are all in on EV’s.

I’m curious how they are gone make these early vehicles available for test drives. This a big country and spreading them early so most reservation holders can get to them looks like a big challenge. Hell I’m sure my reservation is in the top 2,000 but I live 110 miles from the nearest...

We’ll see. That testing lab is a government run facility that has a very high reputation in the field of testing so I’m confident we can trust their evaluation. We’ll see.

Seems like the prove of this technology may not be far off.

I don’t see the benefit vs drawback value there. I dumped the fuel dependent dinosaur juice machines three years ago and do want to go back. Having to pump fuel stinks. The engine is noisy and it adds another layer of complexity. This truck isn’t a road tripper, that’s for sure. But my...

Never an EREV. But I was interested in the full BEV Terra.

😲😠

My F150 Lightning and Kia EV6 go back to their respective dealerships for servicing. Although, that has only been for tire rotations and fluid level inspections at specified intervals. Cost me $20 bucks per visit.

I don’t think that is what they are saying. I believe they are saying you will not be able to adjust the level of regenerative braking. As in my Kia EV6 which has four levels of regenerative braking. My Lightning has either no 1- Pedal or full 1 -Pedal. If you want ‘two pedal’ driving just...

Looks like the Slate is not the vehicle for the OP. Might want to checkout the Nissan Versa. It’s not a truck but has a radio is cheap. Good luck to you.

To return to the original topic of this tread, I don’t see Slate making anything with Slate Subscription based. They have said repeatedly that the Slate will NOT be a connect vehicle. No cell or WiFi connectivity. Whiteout either of those there is nothing they can provide that makes a...

On a small section of the outer banks they can.

You’re right, it’s not. And that is exactly the problem. The industry knew 10 years ago that EVs were coming and failed to act and so here we are still waiting the technology to take off amongst our auto manufacturers while the rest of world is moving at lightning speed into the future. Yes...

You might consider casters that can be raised when not needed and lowered to insert or remove the unit. Maybe just at the front corners because you can easily lift the rear while inserting or removing. Just a thought that keeps with light weight and low cost. Great job!
