"Yes, the Blank Slate will be in the mid-20s" I noticed the specified "blank". I guess that dashes my hope that the small battery pack would be 23-25 and the large battery would be 25-27...

I love that they set a date. I want to see the full cost after any charges for delivery and paperwork.

My favorite Savage Geese car review title was for the 2022 Maverick. It was titled, "All is forgiven at $20,000". Forgive the language, but they then proceeded to declare the Maverick to be "just another shitbox" (I disagree). But they repeated that all was forgiven at $20,000.

So the only question that matters for the Slate team is "Is all forgiven at $2x,000". Do enough buyers (retail or fleet) perceive enough value and appeal to buy a Slate instead of something else?

Only the Shadow knows. And he left the airwaves mid last century.

They've spent months saying "mid-twenties", so it will be 26-28. If it was going to be under 25, they would have been saying "under 25" all along, because that sounds better. So probably 30ish with the big battery.

I did the math a while back. Adding the extended battery capacity (29 kWh) and using the predicted $/kWh production cost in 2026 (approx. $80) adds around $3,000 to the battery.

Going by mid 24k to 26k ish making the base well 24k to 26k and the extended 27k to 29k

Not necessarily since the Blank Slate comes in two configurations standard and extended/long range. A long range truck with no accessories is still a “Blank Slate” technically. Though personally I would consider just adding a Bluetooth speaker mount as part of the Blank Slate.

Knowing the delivery / destination charge would be helpful.
