Q&A for Chris Barman, Slate CEO

[cadblu]

Anyone can send a question anytime on Slate's website. This invite is for the streaming event on December 16.

I wonder if the link they send out to reservation holders is password protected. Like the last 4 digits of your reservation number. Because I’m sure someone will post the link on this forum on December 16, morning of the livestream event.

When I click on the link, it has my name and email already filled out. I haven't sent a question yet. You will probably need to be signed into your slate.auto account to see it.

Bear in mind that the vast majority of reservation holders don't even know this SlateForums site with well-covered answers to their questions exists.

I'm going to try and remedy that situation. My question to Chris was if she would give a shoutout to SlateForums.com. 😇

I am thinking they wouldn't do an event like this without at least some new info they plan on releasing, though it may be minor. I'm sure the questions will be gone through and they will pick ones they have answers for that they are ready to give.
A lot submitted will be "what is the price going to be" "when will I get my truck" "what is the range" etc. Stuff they can't give a solid answer on or that's already on the site since the announcement.

The nice people on this forum attach way too much credence to 100,000 reservations, which were a refundable $50 and taken before the $7,500 credit was revoked. Tesla had a million plus reservations for the Cybertruck, and I think they've barely cracked 50,000.

My question has nothing to do with the truck. I want to be updated on the financial stability of Slate, to include the Series C funding round.

I guess my second question would be the current reservation count. My third question would be an updated delivery timeline - in meaningful volume.

I’d like to hear more about the delivery process. Seriously hoping a reservationist location will not be a factor, the the respect when a reservation was made.
