Here's a first look at the Slate EV small pickup truck - Jeff Bezos' EV startup

IWNDI

It is an electric version of the very first Datsun/Toyota ultra basic trucks.

Nothing wrong with that. At all.

No radio, no ac, doesn't look terrible with the SUV cap. 240 range with upgraded battery.


The new Altima?

Maybe...

( it does have ac)

Ohh yay... rechargable tupperware pickup

I like the design aesthetics, but unless that guy is a giant, that looks incredibly uncomfortable for anyone over 5'10".

Then it's built for the majority of people from Louisiana.

4.5 foot bed.

I could not even lay down in that fricking thing.

TFL review of the Slate truck:

I said it the original thread discussing this… I’m a fan. We need some affordable secondary vehicles for urban areas and being a utility truck is a bonus

Also the OT "frick American made American sourced new products meant to disrupt current Auto Trends with base price under 20k"

I, too, like to make up arguments in my head that no one else is making.


This is a very narrow market truck. You cannot expect people that want a full-sized pickup to respond with "oh hell yes I would absolutely stick my dick into the outlet of that truck."

I'm fine with a cheap truck that can move some stuff. It would be 30k more I can invest instead of driving a slightly higher model f150
