Check out thread by Cody, Here’s The Engineering Behind The $20K Slate EV

Not so sure, many of us, particularly old farts came from no frills and will comfortable getting back.

About 99% sure with my decision. I can live with the standard battery. Only a handful of trips/year that exceed the 150 range. we don’t have a definite cost for the extended yet, but it has been suggested in the $4-5k range. Appears for that money I can add about 8kw PV to my current offgrid...

Any bets closer to $35-40k than $30k? still no pics or anything really to see

Reminds me, years ago, we were doing shortterm vacation rental via VRBO. Had an older couple stay about 10 days. I even got the new hot tub functional about half way into their stay so they could enjoy. Only left a 3 star review because their suite only had a single bathroom. Gee, just as...

Awesome, sounds like the 500ft unpaved, rough access from county road to my concrete driveway counts and I’ll be able to report driving my Slate off road. YES!!!

Not sure if referring ti my post, but if you are, not off roading. Talking about coming down the mountain. 15% grades I think, unpaved.

A true 4WD vehicle with low-range (4LO) is required for the summit of Mauna Kea, not just AWD, due to steep, unpaved sections and potential ice/snow, with rangers checking vehicles and rentals often prohibiting summit travel. Driving to the summit in a 2WD or standard AWD vehicle is dangerous...

Mandatory??? Hardly realized such a thing was available my 1st 50 years of driving. And I grew up in Maine, plenty snow.

Guess I won’t be driving my Slate up the mountain. A true 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive) with low-range capability is mandatory for driving past the Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station (VIS) to the summit, as AWD (All-Wheel Drive) vehicles lack the necessary low-range gearing for safe descent, and...

Internet isn’t required to connect to router.

Both my Toyota Tundra and Subaru Ascent have apps, both have free and subscription features. I only use the free.

I think it would be very informative to see an accurate list of why people are considering cancelling. Maybe even a poll that shows reason and number. my memory, no particular order: loss of $7500 incentive, price unknown can get more goodies in small ICE (non truck) can get low cost non truck...

Reminds me of my Aquion salt water batteries. Company went bankrupt shortly after I bought 21 of them and way before warranty. Did get to use 3 years before replacing with LiFePO that are still going strong after 6+ years

I reserved my Slate because 1. Truck 2. EV 3. Small 4. Economical (mid 20’s price) Items 1-3 haven’t changed, if they do it eliminates itself. It was always those 3, not maybe. Item 4 maybe questionable, but while someone else paying $7500 would have been nice, it wasn’t expected. A...

Wow, sour grapes? Just made an observation, not a judgement. Maybe it’s my long history that if I changed my mind, I don’t feel need to publicize. 99.9% cerain that someone cancels because it wasn’t what they wanted or no longer getting assistance to pay for it. Being a day 2 reserve, maybe a...

Entertaining that those on the Cancel Spectrum feel they have to come here and post their rationale. Doubtful you’ll be missed. Not a big deal, cancel and help someone who really wants a Slate move up the cue and enjoy your choice. We intend to and I seriously doubt we will wonder about those...
