So, the @slateauto.bsky.social looks interesting. I even paid a $50 (refundable) deposit on one. I am concerned that the price in articles keeps going up, and up. First $20k, then on launch day, everyone was saying $25k, and now I’m seeing $28k. Is it going to be $40k when finally available?

If you're going to watch Murderbot on Apple TV, consider adding it to your watchlist. It's kind of like pre-ordering a book, it tells the streaming service that you're there for our show. Link for US viewers: tv.apple.com/us/show/murd... (You can also search for it on the app.)
