One of the question I ask the CEO was about early reservations and when an early day one reservation might be delivered. Below is the response I just received: Hi Dean, Thanks so much for submitting your question for our CEO Fireside Q&A. My name is Alysa, and I am part of the Slate team...

Go checkout a Lightning!

To all those that are predicting the demise of the Slate, I want to point out that vehicles that have been canceled or are being converted to something else, like the Lightning of which I own one, let’s not look past the cost differential. The Lightning and Cyber truck were announced as...

EV, Small Pickup, Affordable, Modifiable

Nope!

Seems a little pricey for a vehicle that was announced as affordable. With that additional cost you’re getting into current e-SUV price range. I was looking for something more toward $3-3.5k.

Regen braking (coasting)! The eltrons generated by the spinning wheel has to go somewhere and when the battery is full there is no place to go. Bad things happen when electricity gets converted to heat. 🙁

I heard several new pieces of information: 150k reservations. $5k for SUV Kit. Carpeting flooring standard. Flat Towing is a No.

Not yet. I was wondering the same thing.

Don’t overlook the F150 Lightning. I’ve driven one for nearly 3yrs now and still smile every time I head down the driveway, with the bed full or not.

Not too big of an ask. Tesla has had that feature form years now. It would add some cost to the truck though.

The latest evaluations being published by the HVB industry indicates the original estimates of battery longevity may have been woefully short. There are some estimates out there that FLP’s will retain their 80% capacity for more than 10yrs and 500,000 miles. Some of the earliest Tesla cars are...

Wonder if that will get him an early delivery? 😊

Looks like they have dropped the Nashville dates that had originally been posted for December. 😠😡😡😠

Yep, what he said. Thats why I want one.

Another option for use of LFP would be to offer the standard range as LFP and the extended as the current NMC. Just a layman’s view. Sorry, back to the shows!

No guts, no glory!! I am hoping to snag one of these early and hang on to it long into the future. I’m thinking it might actually be like my Mavericks. Worth more than I paid for them a year and half later. One can hope.

Am I missing the punchline? “External Combustion Engine” was not an option in the survey. What the hell is an external combustion engine anyway? Did you mean to say “Internal”?

😳. That is absolutely brilliant!! 😍

@KevinRS Your last assumption is correct. Both Ford and GM were able to figure something out and bought some number of vehicles from their dealer lots and put them into the lease offerings. They got the $7,500 credit and are applying it to the first leases.
