Wow that looks like a super cool cafe! There must be ample parking for car meets.

Couple of questions to pose at these events.

Basic Maintenance:
With the Frunk cladding. How to convenient are basic items like headlight bulb replacement? For reference, my 2012 GMC sierra light bulb replacement is a pain in the rear to change out this basic component unless you have tiny hands.

How modular is the drive system? Is their enough modularity in the drive train and it's software, for those motorheads who want to put in higher performance aftermarket components.

How is the experience with trying to use a car seat in the rear of an SUV kit?

I am wondering with the timing if they are trying to limit the number of people. 8-11 am on a Friday, with 5 days notice. Most of us are probably working during that time.

Hmm, if you even can get there with all the traffic. Right off the Santa Monica Freeway I-10 Exit 16A during rush hour. Not fun, used to work around there!

 

[KevinRS]

Yeah, I checked and even in ideal conditions near an hour and a half for me to get there one way. Would have to take the day off, and with 3 hours plus round trip, I'm waiting for something a bit closer, or later when it will be more hands on/test drive.

DTLA in the middle of the morning rush hour when ebikes are faster than cars. Slate really wants to attract people to these events!
