Original pre-order price for sliders was $1,199.95 with free shipping.Fair, but the problem becomes I don't recall the original price, thus the question. I'm fully aware of the current price.

Looking for the wisdom of the crowd here. TL;DR Running board or sliders?
Got R1S Shop access, so I'm hoping to have an R1S sometime this summer -- ideally before official summer, but that'll depend on configurations that pop up. Think I might go on and backorder either running boards or sliders. I want to keep MSRP under $80k and don't do any real offroading, so I will probably not end up with the RUS. With that in mind, does it make any sense to go with sliders over running boards? I kind of like the idea of just fully replacing the plastic trim with metal, but maybe that's just silly and the sliders only make sense if I'm also committed to the RUS?
Also a couple questions for @EV Sportline : I'm in the ATL area and I am leaning toward having y'all install whichever I buy. 1) Is it possible to avoid shipping if I pick up at your ATL location? 2) If I order now and my place in line for running boards or sliders comes up before I have my R1S, is it possible for me to delay pickup and install for a bit but preserve the discount?
Yes, early pre-order customers saved a good chunk of $$$. They had to wait, so we made it worth their while!Yeah they've gone up a bit since the initial launch, wouldn't be surprised if they went up more later.
Are we also able to have our order sent directly to the Los Angeles site if we’re having our install performed there?Sliders provide extensive underside protection - Running boards do not, that's the basic difference, other than costs.
Yes, you can order and pickup in ATL - save on shipping ($0). Yes, you can delay install until you have a truck, and preserve the price - easy. For this order, PM to @BrookeRRiv and she'll customize the order accordingly!
That's what I did and they said it was fine.Are we also able to have our order sent directly to the Los Angeles site if we’re having our install performed there?
Thanks!
Awesome, thanks!That's what I did and they said it was fine.
Yes, you haven't heard only because we haven't got to your order yeti saw a fb post saying that sliders were shipping but has anyone on this forum actually gotten anything that can confirm that (i would assume some forum members were some of the earliest orders, but maybe i'm wrong).
@EV Sportline @BrookeRRiv can you provide a shipping update? Last we heard from you guys sliders were going to ship this month and we haven't really heard a peep since then? If it's been further delayed can you at least let us know? Thanks!
Looks amazing, thanks for sharing!!!Solid AF
Appreicate the response! When i emailed customer support earlier this week, I was told that they were still waiting for another sample before going into production and that shipping had not started yet but i also saw a FB post saying they were shipping so was a little confused at the messaging.Yes, you haven't heard only because we haven't got to your order yet
Going to take a bit, we've got a lot of orders to plow through - thanks again for the patience!
100% agree. Great product, great value!Solid AF
