    Does this tax credit loophole apply to our $50 deposit

    I would sign a contract that states I would purchase a slate at $xx,xxx with delivery in Q4 -2026 to Q2 - 2027 and put a non refundable unless contract is broken on their end $1,000 down (as in first payment(s)), with stipulation that if the target window is missed or if EV credit didn't apply...

    how many 2 door pickups of any kind are sold each year?

    I think we agree that the 2 door pickup is a smaller market, I also believe it is held down because of cost vs return different stamps for the steel, different jigs for the frame, different interior panels, another set of program for every process, possibly another line which means more factory...

    Low power mode

    Probably correct, the battery gauge might be enough to remind you to drive smart

    Low power mode

    It would be beneficial to have a lo power mode - obviously not for infotainment or displays but for climate control and driving modes to extend battery range

    Again 19 deep, I love these videos, I pop in here to see what’s new, maybe…. Maybe read through a thread that interests me, I’m glad to see it front and center I applaud Motorolas for posting it but I’ll be honest, I had not even given that post a click until your link, then I seen it was your...

    Telo reps dropping into Slate event - very positive

    not deep diving 30 posts into a thread to see a video that has benefit has been posted, I did a Quick Look to see if it was a main topic, it was not it’s a forum, there can be posts inside a thread and a thread itself your logic - no one should bring up AWD ever again because it’s in a post...

    Update: Ford's EV 'Model T moment' Announced

    Though I applaud ford what do you get for $30k 2wd? 4wd Long range battery or a standard battery Super short bed and will it be $30k we are talking 2 years from now Will dealers order the $30k option Will dealers mark them up - this is particularly interesting because dealerships make their...

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    that is correct, if you have all night to charge (most people do) also you would not be able to benefit from off peak charging (in my case that would save me 50% on the electricity used to charge) and I am uncertain about this but is 220 charges more efficient? kind of like a 220v air...

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    well maybe - LOL or maybe prioritize controlling grid demand and making it easier for customers to make the switch to EV which in turn would drive profits some of what is holding back EV purchases is the cost of running and installing an outlet or off peak electricity to a charger many people...

    Will you be installing a Level 2 charger?

    I wish the electric companies would work with charger manufacturers to make off peak charging happen without a special meter, dedicated plug and wiring I could see a connected device that is controlled by the electric company and they could reduce your bill appropriately then I could plug said...

    Update: Ford's EV 'Model T moment' Announced

    One article I seen said $25k but others stated “low cost” also stated “bigger than maverick smaller than ranger” I can not find mention of $25k again so very doubtful

    Update: Ford's EV 'Model T moment' Announced

    I was interested to see what ford is cooking up until I seen model year 2028 which means late Q3, Q4 2027 hoping my Slate will be a year old by then also ford trying to say priced about $25k 2.5 years from now is laughable heck, I’m hoping and praying the Slate will be able to stay $25k ish...

    Canceling my reservation [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    Not sure if the Tesla was a truck, maybe but Tesla does not make a $30k truck (or pickup) that looks like a pickup

    Is the timing of Slate's rollout in Winter 2026 a good decision?

    sounds like you don't know what a snow storm is, in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana we can have a snowstorm at 9am, by 9am the next day the roads are clear, sun is shining and you barely knew it happened, doesn't disrupt life for more than 12 hours usually so i highly doubt it will...
