Suggestion: DIY Delivery Center @ Slate Plant in IN

[skidoofast]

I think it would be really cool to have a DIY center at the plant where a person could take delivery of their slate and accessories

There could be an area for the new owner to add on the accessories with someone guiding them

This would give a chance for a person to get some familiarity with their vehicle

They could also have a person to walk the customer through ownership of an EV: charging, washing, care, maintenance, proper planning a trip with charging stations, what apps you will need ect.

They could even help the individual plan their road trip home

just a thought

Not a bad idea.

I like it!

It will probably happen like some manufacturers in the US. I remember BMW had that option years ago but not sure if they still do.

Not sure if I would want to road trip across country with my first EV. Range anxiety and charging location anxiety could ruin the trip for me

I kind of agree on the road trip back

but trial by fire!!

also if it’s winter that could suck!!

I really like this idea. Slate should work with the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce to package this up. I hear the Anthology Whiskey Room is a pretty good spot.

great idea, sell a package - ride from the airport, hotel, food, ride to plant

I live in Vegas, but bought my Maverick in Iowa. The dealer picked me up at the airport, had the truck ready, and I was out of there in an hour. I'm from Iowa, so I stayed at mom's for a week or so before I drove back. Not sure I'd like to do that with my first EV.
