They reached out to me via Messenger yesterday afternoon:
Hey, Charles
Totally hear you, and you’re right to want more ways to get up close with Slate. The Pedal Tavern moment wasn’t planned, just one of those lucky right place/right time run ins. But your support as a reservation holder means...
Kind of irrelevant as to whether the person was a reservation holder isn’t it? The point I am making is, if Slate knows it will be stopping in a major city to post pics, why not simply tip reservation owners via an e-mail or post on their website that they will be there. Gorilla marketing...
Saw a post on FB, Slate just had a test vehicle down on Broadway (famous bar scene area) in Nashville. Noting “To the fan who shouted at us from the Nashville Pedal Tavern: we love you tooooooo!”
Yet here we all are, twiddling our thumbs in the Slate Fourms without a clue. Would have been nice...

I think that is applicable to the Commercial tax credit for company orders. If they had their order in before the credit expired, the credit would be valid, although the delivery will happen sometime later. Vice a personal EV purchase which happens at time of purchase (more or less).
This is...
Here’s a link to the 13 May Reuters article.
US House Republicans seek to kill EV tax credit, loan program - https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/us-house-republicans-seek-kill-ev-tax-credit-loan-program-2025-05-13/
One glimmer of hope from a recent Reuters article:
“The proposal, which is set for a House Ways and Means Committee hearing on Tuesday, would repeal a $7,500 new-vehicle tax credit and a $4,000 used-vehicle credit on Dec. 31, although it would maintain the new-vehicle credit for an additional...
