In one of the things I read or watched on the Slate, they mentioned that going to power windows would've cost $40 more. At $24,990, I think it would've made more sense... Meanwhile, they'll probably charge $350 for two motors and switches for someone to upgrade their own.

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
Yeah, it seems like I’ve heard more than once that the reason you don’t see crank windows anymore is because electric ones are actually cheaper for the manufacturer. ( I don’t remember the details but I saw it on the internet so it must be true). Anyway it seemed like an odd choice for slate. Plus I still don’t truly understand how , with all the options they removed to save money, it’s still $25k. But I like the concept.
Have you seen a window sticker and TOTAL MSRP? I assume shipping price is equivalent to "destination charge" in this case?
I ask b/c the destination fee (according to KBB) must be clearly itemized on the vehicle’s window sticker, separate from the MSRP, and cannot be eliminated.

No one has seen a Monroney sticker, but Slate has touted a starting price of $24,950, which doesn't include destination/shipping.

No manufacturer includes destination charges in their MSRP or advertised price; it’s always another $1-2k above MSRP to get the vehicle delivered. Slate not including it is no more deceptive than every other advertised MSRP.
