Contrary to what I was told at the Philadelphia Zoo event, those window cranks work backwards.

I recall sitting in the demo Slate they brought to Cleveland last summer, and I thought those seats were quite comfortable.

I wonder what kind of changes they might make, or if those seats are used in some other vehicles?
The real test is to see how comfortable those seats feel after a long drive. But then again, you will only have about a two-hour drive with the standard battery before you need to get out and re-charge.

Both your legs and the battery. ;)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did it appear the little guy had some difficulty cranking the window up?

I know the reply, repeat after me, "it's only a proto, only a proto..."

It was good to see that rotating forward was down and rotating backwards was up. Hopefully it is like that on the drivers side as well.

I doubt he has formed any useful muscle memory…LOL

Um, no. He was rotating backwards, clockwise on the passenger side, and the window was going down. That should be the up motion. Up should be counter-clockwise on the driver side. As was mentioned by cadblu, prototype, prototype. Here's hoping.

Then perhaps they are using the same regulator both sides so it will be intuitive on drivers side and backwards on passenger.
