I think we just ignore this guy from now on. He seems very angry or just trying to get a rise from us... 😁
This thread is now about pizza toppings.
Ham and Pineapple are the two best toppings on a pizza. I will die on that hill.

Based on the title, I'm going to re-re-direct the focus on discussing getting the appropriate amount of fiber in your diet.

Emergency failure alert. WE ALL KNOW THERE WILL BE A TIME WHEN IT JUST WON'T GO FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER HERE ARE SOME INTERESTING FACTS THAT ARE ALARMING FOR EXAMPLE

IF YOU LOSE THE DRIVE BATTERY VOLTAGE IT WON'T GO AND YOU CAN'T RELEASE THE BRAKES AND IT DOES NOT HAVE A NEUTRAL GEAR WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO PUSH AGAINST THE MOTOR WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY GEARED IN THE REAR END WHICH MEANS YOU CAN'T DO IT.

THE BOTTOM LINE SOLUTION IS IT HAS TO BE TOWED WITH THE BACK WHEELS UP SO THAT THE FRONT WHEELS ARE ON THE GROUND.
BUT THEY WON'T LET YOU DO THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN LOCKED

FRANKLY I DON'T SEE HOW YOU'RE GONNA GET IT ON A TOW TRUCK WITHOUT RUINING THE TIRES THE REAR WHEELS WON'T RELEASE THE FRONT WHEELS WON'T RELEASE

EVEN IF YOU PUT FOUR DOLLIES ONE ON EACH OF THE WHEELS THAT'S REALLY the only possible way you can move the vehicle

you need to think this out very carefully because this is the reality of this vehicle

I suspect it's very nearly the same with other electric vehicles if you don't have a neutral gear you're gonna have a lot of problems.
Why are you here? Are you a prospective buyer? This comes across as just fear uncertainty and doubt. In the EV world known as FUD. Like you can't charge in the rain kinda junk. If it's an attempt at humor it's failing, bad, and I agree with others coming across as spam.

Just thinking about this a little more, and if the Slate was actually un-towable, then it would be effectively wayyy cheaper (if it can't be towed, it can't be repossessed for non-payment).
