the way i see it, is I really have nothing to lose by letting them hold onto my reservation. It's fully refundable at any time, and I'm not necessarily hurting for an extra $50 for now. In my most recent convo with Slate (they must be so tired of me by now lol) they referenced the Warsaw article...
I saw a post on facebook from someone after the OC cars and coffee in January, I'll see if I can find the pics they posted. still the blank slate at that one.. agreed they should be better about posting these events on their social media
I got curious about who these people are and searched up Slate Agent at Slate Auto on linkedin, not trying to be a creeper or anything but I found a bunch of them listed there. Most of the agent team seem to have several years experience at other automotive companies
I actually asked about this too because there's a lot of car theft in Fresno, well moreso the bay area, and this is what they told me back in November:
For the external panels, even though you can see some fasteners from the outside taking a panel off isn’t as simple as removing a couple of...
I called in earlier this week and tried to push for more info, the agent flat out said there's a lot of internal conversations and plans that can't be shared yet since it's not publicly announced.
I'm sure they all signed NDAs when they were hired, so they don't necessarily want to lose their...
The CEO just interviewed with newsweek on Monday and shared this quote about the factory progress:
" “Today, we’re finishing the last concrete pours. We’re in the process of wiring electrical systems for our robots and putting more robots in place. Remodeling office spaces to take them from the...
You can still send your questions to their support team, seems like they're the same ones who are answering all these Q&As. With this trickle of personal replies, they're probably just working down the list of 4000 questions.
You can chat with them pretty instantly or email and get a response...
It would be silly to think that a vehicle startup company would begin their delivery process by shipping cars across the entire US following on a singular "line" according to reservation number. It's simply inefficient and would cost millions of dollars to facilitate.
I remember when Tesla's...
I'm trying to think of questions only Chris can answer, especially if we have to wait 2 weeks to hear what she says compared to instantly chatting in with one of those Slate agents
My friend was able to find them this morning at Veterans Stadium, they have a few staff available and a ton of people checking out the car.
Edit- friend says the Slate team will be there until 1pm
looks like they just added another LA event in long beach:
Long Beach Hi Performance Show & Swap Meet
Find us at Long Beach's legendary auto swap meet | 6am-1pm | Sun, Nov 9 | Long Beach Veteran's Stadium | 5000 Lew Davis Long Beach, CA 90808
I love the basic truck, but am personally considering a cool wrap, fastback SUV kit, and the higher suspension kit! However, I don't even know how to change a flat tire 🥲 lol
I know Slates' motto is "We build it, you make it", so I'm assuming only the blank slate will be delivered and the rest...
I called them the other day to ask what the next plans are, seems like they have some big announcements planned to come out over the next couple weeks. The guy said their roadshow is set to start up again in October, but they're probably taking another break for holidays and EOY
