Congrats on the expanded Events schedule. That should make many people happy. Unfortunately, I will not be one of the fortunate.

Proposal:
I suspect due to logistics there will not likely be events soon in Hawaii. I fully expect my Slate will be one of the first in Hawaii. I am willing to volunteer my Slate for show & tell, even test rides. My Slate could be delayed in Honolulu for a week or so and then again here in Hilo area of the Big Island. Please pass this on to appropriate decision maker as this is a sincere offer.

Since Slates cold weather tests were only a couple hundred miles from me, and I am the only one listed in North Dakota, maybe I can steal a page from your book and play to their nostalgic side at the same time.
Come on back and visit us up here, before it begins to resemble Pluto again!
Oh, and don't forget to bring sodamo's truck.

Unfortunately it's more complicated to offload the truck in Honolulu if the final destination is Hilo. I guess they just need to come over to Big Island! ;)

For sure, better solution would be another volunteer, best solution maybe volunteers on each island, but I could only volunteer myself.

Agree! Much inspiration comes from the Hawaiian Islands. Exposure is key. Think residents & tourists seeing the Slate when in a happy and relaxed state of mind. So much opportunity for EVs with energy costs on the islands and solar availability.
