How Long Till Delivery

Good Lord...I'll rewrite it...

But it has an EV battery, 1-speed transmission drive unit/differential, electric motor, and charging system. That's just as difficult to manufacture/assemble a vehicle that as an engine, transmission and exhaust system.

Yes, all cars are final-assembled at an assembly plant from parts, components, and subassemblies. Just because its an EV doesn't make the assembly process easier or faster.

An EV motor is not "as difficult" to manufacture as an ice engine.
An ev transmission is not "as difficult" to mfg as an ice transmission
Ev doesnt have an exhaust, but in my tundra there are extra parts and machinery to reduce emissions, such as the secondary air injection pump. replacing both when they rust is a $2500 replacement.

You are still missing the point. We are talking about the final assembly of the Slate in the Warsaw factory where the battery, its cooling system, and electric rear drive, are installed subassemblies.
