EXCITED? you bet. Seems most everything time wise becomes a comparison to our countdown, all confirming it’s not that bad., but boy, come Wed morning

For Slate fans, 6/24 may possibly be the next biggest historic date in American history.
You may be asked; do you remember where you were on preorder day? *

Kind of like the day JFK was shot, the Apollo lunar landing, the World Trade Center.....well you get the idea.

Lets hope Contentful (Slate.auto's CDN) has robust servers and won't buckle under what should be a very busy morning...

OK SINCE THE PRICE MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN LEAKED LETS GET EXCITED FOR PRE-ORDER AND ACCESORY PRICING!! 4 DAYS!!!! 13 HOURS!!!

I'll be up and ready for it! I am pretty much planning on a full blank Slate so here's hoping the one or two accessories I want are reasonable.

This little guy doesn’t like the delivery window!

Don’t you all think there will be some sort of live stream with journalists at Warsaw similar to what happened on 4/24/2025 the other important date in a Slate Fan’s timeline?

I'll be F5ing. Don't even care that it won't make any difference compared to confirming 3 days later.

Will be on my ipad, no F5. I get up at 6:15 HT (1215 ET). Just have to remember to take iPad to that 1st stop.

There is automatic reload/refresh.

Back in the day when I was a newbie sales at Mazda, I had to deal with fierce competition from younger guys with much more confidence despite lack of experience. The phone line on my desk got unplugged a couple of times. Customers arrived for appointments with me were told thar the car was already sold... My strength was in writing so I chose to focus on email leads by snatching them from the bucket as soon as they landed. Dolphin browser offered an extension that automatically refreshes the bucket/page at fixed intervals. I successfully snatched leads quickly for a couple of days. I had the same page opened on my phone using the mobile browser/extension, when I spotted a lead on my phone, I immediately grabbed it from the desktop and started replying.

Then someone noticed that I wasn't clicking much but still getting all the leads. That's right, I left no crumbs. I got reported to the GM, who then implemented the round-robin system so everyone got the same shot at leads. It was not fun any more. 😂

Agreed, need to take care of important business matters first!

I do have to mod a bit. Normally, check my Wx station on my iphone, then post on the Good Morning thread on TractorByNet. Wed, be doing Slate first so I can post I preordered

F5? I figure I'll just tune in to one of the major networks, who will undoubtedly pre-empt their normal programming for a special report.

Back and forth, three year old Model Y for $25k with all the bells and whistles.

Or this analog mini truck with nothing for $24,950?

Been burned on other manufacturers on elevated price and or questionable battery tech being faulty, never with Tesla!

Where is the roof rack? That's the number one thing I need. Kinda useless otherwise.
