Incentives were already stopped. They have 3d renderings of the truck and thats it. Its vaporware. Some guy thought up some idea and attracted nearly a billion in investment cash, then second round of fundraising they're at like $1.7Billion so they're at that awkward state of some lunatic was clearly just trying to live a luxury lifestyle of selling a desirable idea to wealthy idiots but now that they've got bigboy money its time to start delivering something tangible.
The unfortunate part is everyone other than investors know this is simply DOA. They don't have a factory, they don't have test mules, they don't have anything. So they're a solid 3+ years away from a demonstrable product. In that time inflation and parts prices will slowly rise causing it to be a $40,000 EV, its possible nobody will be in the market for a cheep and cheerful EV even if they manage to keep it under $30k, but nobody but retards who have no intention of buying one are excited about it.
As anon pointed out, its a $50 refundable deposit. Tesla has had about a 2% deposit to purchase rate and Slate has what? 400,000 deposits? Good luck keeping a car company going on numbers like that.
I will also say, as the other anon pointed out, it does feel like someone was paid to come to 4chan /o/ and make these faux "wow doesn't this look great, fellow kids?" posts. The unfortunate part is they're clearly paying some indian to do it for $2 a thread, and probably $0.50 per post to drum up fake excitement. I've seen it in comments sections on other sites based on the phone scam level grammar.
