Elsewhere in the FAQ, they clarified not once but five times that your $300 preorder counts towards the final purchase price. It’s not refundable, but it will be counted toward the final purchase price of your Slate. The $300 preorder deposit counts toward the final purchase price. A preorder is a $300 ($250 with an active reservation) non-refundable deposit that ... counts toward your purchase of a Slate. Your $300 preorder counts toward the final purchase price. Apparently Slate felt that needed to be emphasized, so I repeated it too!
So are you saying the $300 is refundable? Lol

I'll see if I can make my change log viewable on my accessory tracker. I'll also try to add wraps back. I see they are trying to make a Key Fob & Slatelet to go with the Crayola Collab.

Added Filters for (All, New, Recently Updated, Not For Sale). I also added a Recent Changes section if you view Details. I'll try to clean it up a little bit.

Seems like Slate should hire you for the website.

I just noticed it is updated to say "Get your sleek, 5-seat Fastback SUV straight from the factory." And something similar for the square back.
Sounding more and more like factory SUVs will be built as SUVs.

Kinda hope we see that regarding Cargo Kit, but would need to clarify re bottom partition.

Another update to the FAQ today - they added this section:

Can I flat tow a Slate?
Like most fully electric vehicles, a Slate should not be flat towed because it risks damaging the battery and electric motors that power the wheels. We recommend using a flatbed trailer.
"Electric motors" is PLURAL? I know it's RWD, but do we get independent rear wheels with Rivian-like independent torque control? I briefly forgot all about affordability concerns and asked Slate chat. Good news is they didn't accidentally make it unnecessarily more expensive, Karen said that was a typo, it's rear-wheel drive with one motor. Oh well, it was a fun idea.

The $300 preorder continues to be non-refundable and still counts towards the purchase price.
