    Absolutely buying, but worried about this one thing...

    I wish they would. They said (I think on the Leno show? Maybe not) that the regen level is not configurable, you get what you get.

    Absolutely buying, but worried about this one thing...

    Definitely buying. The only thing I'm worried about is my Maverick losing value between now and when I sell it to fund the Slate. I suspect the business in Hormuz will keep the 40mpg truck value up there this summer..

    How Long Till Delivery

    I'm really hoping for delivery in about 8 months, would be a great Christmas present.

    Steering Wheel Configuration

    Hm, I hadn't looked at the steering wheel but I'm with you, having a gap in the middle bottom is critical. It won't be a deal-breaker for me but certainly an annoyance.

    Have you had a vehicle shipped from CA to HI? Curious if you could share cost. Not that I will ever be in that situation!

    Pre-orders starting in June! See OFFICIAL confirmation from Slate Auto

    I waited 11.9 months after ordering my maverick. A 6-9 month wait will be nothing!

    THERE WILL BE A TIME WHEN IT JUST WON'T GO

    Yea I'm sure they forgot that sometimes vehicles need to be towed, can't believe these experienced auto makers made that mistake. You come off a little unhinged and the ALL CAPS SCREAMING doesn't help your case. What evidence do you have of any of your claims?

    Poll, how old were you when you got a vehicle with power windows?

    First car was only one year younger than me, a 1988 Dodge Dakota. No working AC and I live in the south so those crank windows got a lot of use. When I went to college my parents thought the old truck wouldn't make it so I got handed down a Grand Cherokee with fancy powered windows! Had to...

    Windshield wipers?

    I knew wipers were regulated but that CFR doesn't say anything about requiring a fluid. It specifically defines a Frequency and Wiped Area % only. It references J942(1965) which recommends "An apparatus for storing, filtering, and applying fluid to the exterior of the windshield [...]" so...

    Windshield wipers?

    Sorry (not sorry) to necro the thread but I SEARCHED instead of just asking and it led me here. I was wondering if the Slate would have windshield cleaning fluid sprayers. That probably isn't a regulated thing, right, so maybe not? But I saw your picture and there it is, clear as day. Good...

    Radio idea with bluetooth, FM, and knobs

    I like the form factor and styling. It should be closer to $40 than $400, though.

    The Slate needs a lower price. I know they are not pickups, (most are crossovers/SUVs), but with rebates, % and other deals I can get several other E

    I would hope that the mid-20s figure includes enough margin to be profitable on the Blank Slate. If they are banking on accessory sales to float the company, well, I just don't think that's going to happen. Too many 3d printers and third party accessory sellers to expect a lot of first party...

    I think you aren't wrong tgpii. It does seem a bit expensive compared to other (used) EVs. A lot of that comes from the wild depreciation for EVs, resale value just takes a nosedive moreso than ICE or other "more established" platforms. While they advertised it as a cheap vehicle, I don't...
