The slate software is in no way going to be the industry standard. Car manufacturers are all looking to create parasitic software for their cars. Slate is DOA based solely on how terrible the range will be.

Slate is a good niche, its range is fine for the purpose its supposed to fill Imagine a fleet of them for a lawncare business paired with a 30-42" standup electric mower rig Cost of operations would be dittly squat, could be further buffered with solar and replacememt parts dirt cheap. Roi would be extremely quick and then it’d be pure profits People are already doing that with used Teslas pulling trailers (yeah its funny to see, but the people doing it have shown their numbers and its pretty nuts) Whats not fine about the Slate is no awd version. On an EV it’s a minimal endeavor to make that work so there’s really no excuse Having experienced awd I will never personally own another vehicle without it if I have a choice. Especially a truck. My driving conditions are way too harsh to not have it
