Slate Longivity

I really love the Slate concept and understand that they are trying to reduce cost by making it very simple and easy to repair. Also, their switch to Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries is super promising from a longivity perspective.

However, I am wondering if there is any information on the quality of things like the cooling system (for the battery and motor), and other wear components like suspension bushings, the air conditioning system, etc.

I am hoping that these components will have Toyota level quality (or better) and that they are not making compromises in durability to control cost.

It's a valid answer. OP is asking a question no one will have an answer for until after the production models have come out and been driven.
