Actively considering cancelling reservation.

[Tom Sawyer]

Knowing the people who buy Teslas, no one could force them to do anything. The car was always much more a status symbol than an environmental statement. They didn't give a damn about global warming, but instead wanted to show how fast they could go in "quiet sophistication." I doubt the incentives helped much with this group, as they could afford a Tesla without them.

Now that the big T isn't so cool, someone I know with money to burn bought a Mach-E.

Slate isn't angling for the bouge. Their market is firmly middle class - which the Tesla never was. The same guy who bought a new '88 Civic two-door hatch would buy a Slate today.

Sorry, I gotta disagree. Not all Tesla buyers fit this description.

Part of the reason I'm driving a car pushing 20 years old is that I DON'T want to deal with all the fancy computerized, automated, screen controlled stuff I see these days.

Y’all all move up in line.

I had a very early reservation but we found a gently used Ioniq 6 for $28k that meets ( actually wildly exceeds ) our needs, and not too happy about some of the minimalist choices from Slate.so I cancelled our reservation too. I wish them well. Good luck and hope it all works out for everyone.

Thanks, hope you were ahead of me 😁
