Slate Auto, the new electric truck startup

*starts AT under

I don't see the pickup-driving demographic being much attracted to EVs

R2 I think they will if the alternative is to spend $80K on a mid-sized pickup. Truck prices in recent years have lost all touch with reality.

The government needs to stop subsidizing these EVs.

Sin City was a good movie but I don’t want to live there

The concept is interesting as is the car design.

I hope it sells like hotcakes.

I hope it crashes and burns!

Wait a minute, that's MY brand.

Looks a lot better than that horrific Cybertruck.

The design team is less “challenged “, so it’s a given

I also love how Slate just “happens to be” an anagram of Tesla.

Why R4?

Interesting idea. I don't see any information about range or charging time or anything else that makes an EV worth buying.

R2 They have EV pickup trucks currently on the market from the traditional brands. I think I read they are actually picking up steam.

R4 why?

R11 oh shit 😂 . Bezos had time.

My partner is waiting for one called the Telo truck to come out. I don't know what he thinks of this one.

Telo is an anagram of Leto.

dislike matte finish.

the anti tesla is the same ole shit. no amazon. no whole foods.

It’s ugly but not as ugly as a cyber truck

It's very limited (/Barbara Thorndyke.)

Short range (150 mi.). Very little is included - no infotainment, no speakers, etc. You have to add on customizations (SUV kit, color wraps, etc.) It's VERY basic.

A cousin of mine has the Ford F150 Lightning, and it is very nice (and very functional as a pickup). Why anyone would buy a cybertruck is beyond me.
