I was so excited about the model 2 rumors, then so disappointed. Slate has my heart now.

Interesting observation on the 2500 Walmart locations. I was thinking it would be one of these places that does tires, mufflers and brakes. The muffler demand is going to disappear and brake repair demand is going to decline a lot. If they could get trained by Slate University they may be able to reinvent themselves to be relevant in the EV era.

With respect to the delivery aspect. My vote is they ship by rail except for the trucks that are going within about a 200 mile radius. I may be biased as my employer owns and operates the rail line that goes by the Warsaw plant.

When I shipped my car from Atlanta to Hawaii it went by rail to CA, back in 2005.
