When will Slate Auto ship their 500th vehicle? (Market research tool)

[bartflossom]

If something happens and the Slate doesn't ship, it'll be the 2nd most crushing thing in my life. Right after the Luka Doncik trade. 😭

Time will tell. Too long to wait and a lot can happen between now and 2028

Cybertruck flop.

Atlas Truck EV bankruptcy.

Nokia Bankruptcy.

Canoo went from moving forward to bankruptcy.

RAM EV cancelled.

Ford Lightning cancelled.

That's exactly what I am afraid of. I am not a numbers cruncher but it's easy to see the hand writing on the wall. I wasn't one of the earliest reservations. If the factory is going to have the capacity for 100,000 units a year how long will it take to reach that number? I doubt it will be the first year. That should put me into 2028 delivery if I am lucky.

I know I’m not always the brightest in the room, but if Slate is planning 100,000/year, shouldn’t we be hoping for 500 first month?

I think they may have some delays once they try to start, then production will be slow for a while. I think #500 will be in January, 2027.
