Don't worry. You're not the one who's confused! :)

Help me understand your math here. Doesn't a project need a permit before beginning work? Wouldn't the 124 locations marked 'coming soon' be a subset of the 200 permits? I understand it's a minor point in the overall picture, but maybe I'm missing something in your logic.

Welcome to the forum! What boat(s) were you on?

Now see here sonny. Back in my day we walked to school - both ways! And if we wanted to make fools of ourselves talking past each other over pointless arguments, we did! Now get off my lawn! And don't make me tell your parents.

How would that save money on shipping? The parts would need to be 'shipped' to the second assembly facility. Speculation is like a wish. Spit in one hand & wish in the other - see which hand has more.

You are not wrong in that it is best to keep the battery state of charge close to 50% to reduce chemical aging. But in your situation, you didn't allow the battery to stay at that low state of charge for long before recharging. The battery was built with a certain capacity. For long trips...

Sure, charging isn't as convenient as filling up a tank with petroleum products. I'm not sure that's Slate's problem to solve (or blame for) though. Isn't that more of an open market kind of thing?

That or we can turn this into another power windows discussion.

And There Is No Spoon However there is Schrödinger's cat Who could predict this discussion would lead to quantum mechanics?

I'm surprised you are posing this as a problem as Tesla has made it easy for the driver to manage charging stops. The Tesla Model Y will tell the driver where the charging stations are. Anyway, let us know if you need some charging tips. There's lots of friendly, helpful folks here. :)

COFFEE?!? Any tips on how to get some of the good stuff? ☕️ Green beans please, I roast my own.

Everybody knows. Here’s why: All aboard the Barman Bandwagon! We need music & snacks; there’s plenty of enthusiasm to get going with!

I agree that I'd rather have Barman see her plan through and get this whole endeavor up & running. Ain't no tellin' what's going on behind the scenes. Personally, I hope all's well with Chris and there's nothing happening in her personal life that brought about this change. I get the sense...

Interesting indeed! How many other EVs (not from a DIY kit but from a mainstream manufacturer (Has Aptera even reached production?)) offer a multi-speed transmission of any sort? Just because I haven't heard of any doesn't mean it's either another hallucination or wishful thinking.

OR at least let us know the plan on the what, where, how & how much! I figure Slate has hired others to figure things out (at least I hope so!) :)

That or ride a motorcycle. The power to weight ratio is intoxicating and can change one's mind on such things.

That's what I thought incentives were to do - help foster adoption, not become something to be relied on. Tangential, but I heard that incentives to petroleum are a thing too. You were doing fine right up to the last line... :facepalm: :)

AND that's why I am so keen to get to facts instead of opinion & conjecture. It's too easy for humans to make stuff up without the help (or interference) of some computer program.

This ought to be interesting. 🍿🥤

I sometimes wonder the same, if there's Slate employees on this forum whether they are acting in an official, representative role or just hanging out. As far as correcting errors and/or misinformation, that could be a non-stop task. Would that be a good value for the expense? How much would...
