"Nearly all of the EV startups that have come (and gone) over the last decade have tried in some way to replicate the approach Tesla took. They’ve designed their first vehicles to be high-end offerings so they can sell fewer cars for more money. Eventually, after growing brand awareness, these companies move into higher-volume, cheaper EVs that generate smaller margins. Slate is inverting this by going after what it hopes will be a buyer’s “first car,” according to the people who spoke with TechCrunch. "not quite sure the target market for this though.
Looks more like a 90s Chevy S-10 to meits an electric yugo truck
The Slate is going to be a commercial vehicle targeting businesses in cities. Businesses, for years, have been clamoring for a cheap single cab truck. IMO, the Slat could be a real winner.
From a consumer standpoint, I think the Slate is a dud. 150miles of range isn't going to cut it. 240 may work if they keep the price under $30K.

Also, from my reading it seems that a phone is used instead of a traditional display/screens, radio etc. Radio is kinda dying already with streaming apps like Spotify etc.90s

the dual-motor 4wd ($46k)... hmm. i hope it doesn't have the stupid plug my phone in for the radio. interested to see where this goes.This one might be even smaller than the Slate
The Telo MT1 electric truck is as long as a Mini Cooper SE, but gets a battery twice as big.
It's will offer up to 350 miles of range when it goes on sale later this year or early next year, Telo claims.
It has a standard 5-foot-long bed, which is expandable to 8 feet with a folding midgate.
That SUV version looks pretty sharp, not digging the P/U version too much.This one might be even smaller than the Slate

Totally see that but service or delivery types will have to get the extended range. They can eat up 140mi in 6 hrs.
But for small contractors, not having to spend 35k on a work truck, and still charge while on job site, I can see that. Totally.
