Slate Surveys

[Neil Nelson]

There are no 100k reservations for slate. I have read that that occurred within the first two weeks. How would 100k people have learned about providing a reservation to slate within two weeks? And there would have been several times 100k to learn about slate so that they could give a reservation. Why do we have an official reservation list and yet no list for the 100k reservations? Someone writes '100k reservations' in a blob and everyone thinks it is official. Get a grip.

I don't care how many reservations have been placed. It's irrelevant to me. I just don't understand what you want.

Why do we have an official reservation list and yet no list for the 100k reservations?

Do you mean the reservation list on this forum? This forum is in no way associated with Slate Auto. Why do you think anyone outside of Slate would be privy to that information?

 

[Neil Nelson]

It is relevant to me because the 100k lie is being repeated quite a bit. A reservation is someone putting up $50 and signing up to get a Slate. What other kind of reservation could there be? You are saying that Slate Auto has a list. Where is that list? If you are saying that no one outside slate has that list, then we can say that list does not exist. You do not have that list.

The company confirmed the 100,000 number. Do you believe any numerical claims? How do we know there are ~8b people on this planet? I have never seen a list with every name.

If they confirmed 6-figure reservations, and it is found out they are lying- that is called fraud.

Where did Slate confirm the 100k?

Where did Slate confirm the 100k?

Here's a post from the company's official LinkedIn account for one:

Thanks for helping us clock over 100k reservations (and counting) over the last couple weeks. It's humbling, exciting, and we are now focused on our road to production 💪

Holy crap dude. Do you not understand that this forum, and our little spreadsheet is not affiliated AT ALL with Slate corporate? Slate took $50 from over 100,000 people, and you don't think that they have a list of who those people are somewhere? Why would they publish those individual transaction details publicly?

Seem to recall that 100k statement being attributed to a Slate person, possibly in a video.
I think we are being trolled.

I am not confused. The link gives TechCrunch as a reference.

Seems that it was confirmed to Techcrunch by Slate’s chief commercial officer Jeremy Snyder.

As stated like 4 posts ago, they confirmed it on their own LinkedIn as well. I don't even know why we're having this conversation lol

Reading comprehension could be suspect.
