I remember hearing Barman talking about how battery options have opened up because of the EV Incentive going away and other companies scaling back operations, but I don't take that to mean anything has actually changed. What have you heard?

Sorry to rain on your parade... He says straight up that the extended range has an additional 3 modules.

I asked this last year about towing and they said to keep an eye out on the maker, that it would be coming. I asked them again after they announced the pre-order date. They said, "The tow package pricing should be listed on June 24th."

Yes. I've said from the beginning that if you need the extended battery and SUV kit then the Slate isn't a cost effective option. Likely, that would mean $32k or more. The base Equinox EV is $35k, so for just a few more K you get more horsepower, more range, more towing capacity, and four...

I hope this is the sound they use or they give us a way to upload a sound...

Google is telling me that an extra 31.6 kWh would increase manufacturing cost by $2500 to $3500 because the packs cost $80-$110 per kWh.

Saw this on Reddit: Pyroburner: I asked this directly and they emailed me back saying [the extended battery] would be less then the SUV kit. They didn't say how much cheaper, just that it would be cheaper. Hinagea: Can you share exactly what they said? Pyroburner: "Our extended battery that...

Using your phone, in portrait or landscape, is not the same as CarPlay. The interface is quite different, both for the dashboard and many of the apps. If you put the phone in landscape, you will be frustrated with apps that don't support the mode, including the primary dashboard. I really hope...

I'm expecting a 3-month delivery window...

I've never used gemini, only ChatGPT. I kind of like what the former produced.

I have dibs on $24k for the base, $27k for the extended battery. Which puts both in the "mid-20s" they have been touting.

Yes, 600# total. That's 250# for the boat, 250# for the trailer, and an additional 100# for the boat box and extra gear.

Something to tow my boat.

Oh wow... I put in my pre-order on day three and don't expect to see the truck until Spring next year. I'd love for it to be sooner of course... They have said that max capacity of the factory will be around 150k per year and they have over 160k, possibly as much as 180k, reservations. Sure...

Honestly, I'm surprised you're surprised. Back before touchscreens and custom radio mounts, the first thing many people did after buying a car was upgrade the head unit (and often the speakers as well). Why on Earth would Slate want to install something that so many people replace with...

It was in the Jay Leno interview.

I watched the repair pal video "selling" service centers on doing Slate work... The upshot is, if you have a repair pal nearby that already has a High Voltage Certification (ASE or equivalent), then they will likely sign up for Slate service since it would be no additional cost to them. I...

I asked them about a documented API so that independent developers could write apps. The response I got was that they hadn't really thought about it, but it would really add to the DIY ethos they are striving for.

I'm waiting for the tow package to be announced and priced. I have two trucks in the maker. One is fully tricked out like I want, and one only has the things that would require replacing something (bumpers, wheels, LED lights, etc). I'll price both with the big battery and small battery and see...

I plan on just taking my car down to CarMax. I was a car salesman for 2 years and I'm not interested in picking up that hat again, even for a couple of weeks.
