I think it will be fine! I drove a buddies small car back home for him, driving about 4 hours on interstates and did not have any issues. It WAS a small adjustment, but after merging once and passing another vehicle once, I wasn't really thinking about it anymore.
Only a couple of my friends are "car guys", and none of them had even heard of Slate before I brought it up. I think it'll gain more momentum as they near production, or at least I hope so.
After seeing Slate, I just want a small EV. If Slate does not make it to production, I'll likely just look into another EV at some point. Maybe a Leaf or Maverick.
I like the quick math here, but yeah I think most of the reservations will be dropped when it comes time to make the final decision. My reservation was on 5/17. Pretty excited for it, but I still expect a good long wait.
Thanks for the follow up Driven, and for the additional pictures. You mentioning the seats and floorboards do have me a little concerned, but hopefully they will improve on that when it comes time to actual production.
My work drive isn't too far, about 24 miles round trip. I think I'll stick with Level 1 charging at first just to see how that goes. I'm still undecided on the battery size, I guess it'll depend on how much more the bigger battery will cost.
I love this. I was thinking about making a post about this exact thing; but the added reward is a great touch!
My guess is $26,999 for the base model (But I hope the two that posted before me are correct!)
I don't have any different questions from what has been posted, but really looking forward to seeing the pictures! This event was announced a little too late for me to make other plans to go, but hoping another one happens nearby!
I've got a little Ryobi radio I bought to use while tinkering in the garage. It looks like it would fit perfectly in that holder. Its sound quality isn't perfect, but good enough!
