I completely agree. I think a lot of people are going to have to make the conversion choice with a lot of unanswered questions (even with the 30-day deposit window) and that's a big ask. Even early deliveries are likely far enough out that it's not crazy to say "I've waited this long, what's another 6 - 12 months if it gives me a chance to have all my questions answered before making a commitment."
I'm an enthusiastic adventurer, but a $30k vehicle is still at the edge of affordability for me, haha. The details they release would have to be very exciting for me to throw another $250 into the abyss of an EV startup, at least without seeing/driving one.
Great first post! And almost a year after joining - as if you were waiting for this moment...
You can use mine for a test drive.
PLEASE stop being so pessimistic - we talked about this.Waaaahoooo!
Don't tell me what to do. If I want to quote you, you can't do anything about it. You're not the boss of me.
That or Slate wants to hook you up with extra trucks!So I now appear have 4 designs in my garage, 2 not of my doing (2 are "blanks" (that I cannot seem to remove), 2 are designs I've made previously). I tried editing one of the blanks and now I can't save it.
So you may find the builder is whacked right now.....
Federal law requires the 8 years, 100k miles on the battery and HV system. California now requires 10 years 150k miles. I have noticed that Chevrolet brands now have an add on charge on the sticker price to cover that difference in California, I would hope that most manufacturers would just move up to the CA standard, it's probably a low percentage that fail in those last 2 years.
Pricing will be announced the same day as preorders start. Then you'll have a full 30 days to think about it if you want to keep your delivery window.
