Well there you are it really is as crap as they promised. That build quality would embarrass an Indian auto worker.

The range is now 205 miles, from a 63-kWh battery. That’s… Not that great. For comparison, the 2022 Chevy Bolt has a similar sized battery (65kWh) but about 260 miles of range. The weight’s a little less than the slate at 3,600 lbs though it still wouldn’t be enough to gap the difference in performance. There’s either some heavy drag introduced by the truck or some drive system inefficiencies.

Ford’s $30,000 EV truck is supposed to be here fairly soon as well, although it looks like that will only be available as a crew cab, sadly.

I only have a truck so i can tow a trailer. I wish they included some towing capacity and range numbers.

Interesting, the telematics module is sold separately at $275.00. So for everyone worrying about spying, for this vehicle you got to opt-in and pay extra for it. www.slate.auto/en/store/ACCIT010?fromCategoryId=a…

Something about this vehicle not mentioned: Because of the easily replaced plastic panels, insurance should be a lot less expensive. But of course, meth heads are going to start stealing panels now.
