SOMEBODY gonna be Slater of the Month! Who is it?

 

[KevinRS]

Apparently from the VIN, and the PDF posted a while back, it's a 52.7 kWh battery, and 2027 Model year, and vehicle number 2

I didn't pull my tape out as there was a crowd, and others had already measured. By eyeballing the tires and frunk, I don't think a full sized tire would fit neatly, you might get it in, but there doesn't appear to be room front to back for it to lay down, it would have to lean and take up the whole frunk. For a compact spare, will have to wait for someone to post measurements and check specs on the potential spares.

That frunk really looks nice. I mean, I may be able to fit my daily troubleshooting handyman toolkit in there no problem. This picture also answers another query. We know there is a fuse box under the left side with the fire helmet. Looks like that whole top just pops off, so easy access should it be necessary.

Yeah, seen that before in images with the frunk liner out, but today that cover was loose and people kept lifting it up and looking at the fuse box.

Oh also, I'd wondered when looking at photos, and seeing the truck in person, if the tint we see on the windows is the same as production, might not need to get windows tinted. There is a tint on the front and side, and darker on the rear windows. Will probably decide for sure once I have the truck.

I already was thinking about that. I’ve got a mobile guy that I used on Lightning X5, GX460, etc…micro ceramic etc. He’s an artist

Kevin, what did you think of the camera/airbag status/rear view mirror wart? I know you didn't sit in it, but I wonder if you had any feeling about it. It seems pretty big.

I didn't really look up at it. The truck is bigger than it looks in photos. Not a monster like the rest being sold, but I think the cab is tall enough that it shouldn't be an issue. I actually am back to thinking about needing running boards for my mother to be able to get in if I am driving her somewhere.

Some great pictures have been posted so far.

I got there at 10:15 and had to leave just before 11:00.

it was great meeting you, Harley! And I forget their names, but I met a lovely couple who read the forum..

Here are some photos that I haven't seen.

I grabbed some basic measurements of the frunk, but Harley has those for now.

I also tried to get the measurement of the tailgate open to the ground, but got, not surprisingly, strongly chastised for opening the gate. Oops! Anyway, it's 20" from the bed of the truck to the top of the gate. Maybe that can be subtracted from another measurement.

This truck feels like the one I saw in November. You can see that the rear window doesn't look to be sealed.

Well we asked for a way to open the back window. I guess it is automatic.

But it is a pRoTOtyPe, relax. Final sealing coming soon. Stay tuned.

If we'd been organized about it, we could have been catching VINs at each event and been able to track changes. This VIN identifies it as the second 2027 model year truck off the line in Warsaw, but with the old standard battery, unless the new one uses the same code.
