It's officially $25K now. The original target of $20K was based on the idea that the $7500 EV rebate existed, which it did when they first announced the Slate. I'm super interested in the Slate, but I don't need a new car yet and I have a gut feeling that there will be laws forcing newer models to include a bunch of phone home spyware bullshit in all vehicles soon, which would take away much of the appeal of the Slate.
