I just asked another question... Will the truck's communication system with the app have a publicly available API so that other's can write apps using it? If so, I will for sure be writing an app.

I remember seeing a closeup of the "app" during the post launch press event on some YouTube channel. It was clearly just a bunch of images in a slide show.

I think you are thinking too advanced. My 2015 Kia can lock/unlock doors with the fob, no wifi needed. Having the fob turn the HVAC on/off from a button also doesn't require wifi. That would give you the ability to turn on the climate control remotely, but not change the temperature. That...

My understanding is that when the rear window and bottom panel is removed, the roll bar is needed for structural integrity. Presumably, the cargo kit would not entail removing that bottom panel...

Looking at the mockups that have been shown, there isn't going to be any sort of remote anything through the phone (no wifi), or any climate controls (the hardware buttons aren't going to be auto-rotating.) The fob does seem to have a "precondition" button on it though. Likely, the app's...

I asked about when we will get a more precise price for the truck and prices for the accessories.

I've already asked about a hitch (I will be towing my boat) and they said there would be one available.

I'm wondering about the fundamental assumption of this whole post... They are saying 150 mile usable range. That could mean that the 150 miles is only 60% of the total kWh of the battery. How is the efficiency then?

I don't need a 2000# tow capability. The 1000# already claimed is more than enough.

I've said this before, but this thread will allow me to repeat it... I'm looking for the cheapest new vehicle that is electric and rated to tow my boat & trailer (600# total). There are electric vehicles that are cheaper than Slate's claimed "mid-20s", but they aren't rated to tow. Hell, I...

Sorry for you, but the Firestone I already use for my 2015 Kia is in the network, so I'm good.

I plan on buying the base slate with wrap ($500 has already been advertised), and tow package (it's $200 for the Maverick so I'm expecting about the same for the Slate). Pluses would be a sticker like on my profile picture, and bed steps maybe depending on how much of a pain it is to reach into...

I'm looking for a new EV that is cheap and can tow my boat. Slate is the cheapest EV that can tow the 600# I need to tow.

I think it would be a bad idea to try and have the charger/connector directly on the mount. Even if it happens to be in just the right spot and have just the right type, the vibration would be very bad for the phones plug opening. I also keep my phone in landscape when mounted in my car.

Can the new Leaf tow? I need something that can tow.

My guess is that it's going to be harder once vehicles start rolling off the assembly line waiting for my number to be called. One thing I've noticed. I signed up to get announcement via email and so far I've gotten nothing. I'd love it if they at least sent me an email saying what new bits are...

I got nothing. I thought I read somewhere on a Korean news site that SK On suspended operations, but now I can't find it. Sorry for the fake news...

That said, SK On has halted construction because of the raid on the Hyundai plant so...

Nexus Auto Transport says shipping a car can cost from $250 to $775. I expect Slate would charge less than $1000 for most US locations. Maybe a little more in some of the bigger cities and likely quite a bit more for non-contiguous parts of the US (Alaska, Hawaii, and other US territories.)

I asked them about towing, and they said:
