Has anyone deciphered reservation numbers yet?

Just wondering if anyone has deciphered reservation numbers yet, to figure out exactly where we are in line.

Probably need to collect a few handfuls for reservation numbers and the time/date that they were made… unless Slate wants to save us the work and tell us how to decipher them.

I hope Slate posts a guide. Not comfortable posting my reservation number out in the wild yet.

Based on past reservations with: Ford Lightning, Ford Mach E, GMC Denali EV, Chevy EV....

None of them had any rhyme or reason who was next.

My 2022 Ford Lightning EV was delivered way ahead of others because I am in an EV friendly state that gave Ford credits. 3 months after reservation, lots of others ahead of me....

2023 Ford Mach E was delivered 14 months after reservation. Lack of parts and modules and the one they made ended up destroyed on a derailment while coming into the US.

GMC and Chevy EV trucks - never got notified and got refunded 2 years later.

I figured out "SL8-" means "SLATE"

I got an email from Slate. The reservation number itself doesn’t reflect the position on the que. slate says they’ll reach out when they get closer to production letting everyone know their place based on the reservation timestamp and delivery location.

and just like Tesla and other manufactures that do the online ordering thing the exact timestamp of order isn't necessarily your place in line. Geographic location and other factors will likely play a part.
