Where is this juicy detail from ? Do tell.

Hey Kevin,

My name is Katie, I am part of the team here at Slate Auto. We wanted to take the time to say thank you for submitting a question to Chris! We got so many amazing questions and were so thrilled you all were excited to learn more about us and what we are doing here. Therefore, we wanted to take some time to make sure each one of you got an answer to your questions.

We are still finilazing some details on our accessories such as trailer hitched, so stay tuned for more details. Additionally, we will not be offering the option of picking up your vehicle at this point in time. All vehicles will be delivered directly to your doorstep.

Thank you again for submitting your question. Also, don’t forget to update your address in your account so we can let you know when we’ll be in an area near you.

If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to us via our contact us page, Or just hit reply and let me know what’s still on your mind. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers✨
From Slate

"Additional fee"...how bad do you want it delivered to you like Carvana?

I'm good to roll down to ATL and pick it off of some nondescript lot - perhaps akin to selecting a personal Storm Trooper out of a see of clones? Or, if they can get the Indiana politics sorted, maybe I'll roll up to Indiana and pick up my clone off of their non-descript lot? Lots of speculation.

Happy New Year, Slaters.

Other than price, the delivery details are becoming the item of greatest interest to me. Ideally, delivery to a California location where most likely I‘d have to get topper and other accessories installed and then the extra delivery charge to get dropped off at shipping point either LA or San Diego. OR, depending on the cost, I fly LA, pickup Slate, install accessories myself, drive it to shipping point and fly back home. Will be interesting to figure which option is more cost effective and hope Slate allows time between ordering and delivery to figure out.

So you are NOT coming to ATL for your pickup, David?

Think Slate would give me a better option, delivery Atl vs LA?

I was going to offer my driveway (and a Coke) for you to make your mods!

I have family living about 30mins away from the factory. Wonder if I can use that as my delivery address?

If that works, you could lease their address for an even smaller delivery fee to impatient Slaters! I like the entrepreneurial spirit…

Doing mods myself vs paying.

Challenge is with shipping to Hawaii. Normal mode is shippers do not allow anything extra inside a vehicle, meaning I couldn’t order SUV top as a flat pack and just ship in bed. Choices would be installed it ships as part of the truck or separately, meaning additional cost. Choices to evaluate. And then Sales Tax, sure don’t want to have to pay California sales tax and tax again in Hawaii. Hopefully I can get Slate to invoice me to Hawaii.
