Different types, but it feels like a funny coincidence that I saw so many same-color cars in the cul-de-sac around the same house. Just those cars and one grey one.

One of the smartest aspects of the Slate truck, it’s intended to be wrapped after the fact, they didn’t bother with paint.
Isn’t that supposed to be a budget truck? Having to spend $3k to wrap it every 4 years is pricey.
They’re talking about wrap kits in the neighborhood of $500.
That said, I think it’s dead in the water. They venn diagrammed too close to the sun; they tried to make a cheap electric truck that converts to an SUV. They’re coming in at about the price of a Chevy Bolt, with no stereo, with half the range, with bad aerodynamics. As a pickup truck, it’s weirdly small, like, smaller than an S10 single cab short box. It’s a pickup that’s an inch shorter than a 2 door Blazer. And it’s only rated to tow 1000 pounds. As an SUV, it’s a 2 door, 5 seat, 2 wheel drive, barren box that they’re hoping to entice you to buy with the promise of putting stickers on it.
There’s a lot about the concept I like, but I think they tried covering too many use cases with one vehicle and made it useless at basically anything. It’s too light duty to replace our aging fleet of S10s, Rangers and Tacomas. It doesn’t have the offroad capability of a Bronco or Wrangler. It’s got 2 doors so few are going to want to use it as a people mover. It’s too American for the kei truck weebs. Who’s gonna buy it?
