Here’s hoping 🤞

Yeah, I remember watching a video that referred to it as “the as yet unnamed…” It seemed odd to me. Like, you’re expecting a name? Why? It’s the Slate Truck. That’s it.

I was happy to get it. I keep folders on all of my vehicles; now I can start a Slate folder. Hopefully I’m not jinxing it, but for now at least, it feels that much more “real”.

She didn’t actually answer your question. You asked about track width, her answer refers to wheelbase. Or she’s using the wrong terminology and I’m reading it too literally.

Give me a blanking plate and I’ll delete my passenger side mirror. Kick it old school REALLY base model style.

‘86 XJ Cherokee with the 2.8 V6 and 3 speed slushbox. Least desirable drivetrain of all the XJs, but I loved that thing.

The more I look into the Slate (youtube videos, playing around on the configurator, etc) the more I want one. Pretty sure I’m in even without the incentive as long as they can keep it under $30k.

Same. I had a Lightning Pro reserved, except I never even got an allocation. Then they jacked up the MSRP and I was out. I want basic, and I want good value for money. The Pro was a lot of truck for $39k.

“Yes, but…” They need to hit their pricing target (or close to it) for me to buy it blind. I’m expecting it to be pretty crude for that money, and I’m ok with that. An increase of say, $5k or more won’t necessarily run me off, but I’ll need to lay hands on it and be suitably impressed first.

I swore I wouldn’t jump on the EV train until solid state batteries came to market, but if they can deliver what they’re promising I’m ready to play ball. Fingers crossed. Go Slate go!
