Not a single legitimate poster on this board cares. Buy an ad.

retard

lots of interesting things from an engineering perspective. they need to make a 4 door in the v2 design ASAP.
one big turd from that interview is that they are using a Chinese motor from JJE. why couldn't they get a motor from Tesla. Ford/GM or whatever that's made in the US?

Don't care, didn't ask, dead on arrival without government tax credit

>>28509798 (OP)
This notatruck only appeals to hippies.

>>28510051
>motor made in china
Holy shit, I didn't think that. This is dead as fuck on arrival

>>28510051
/o/ in a nutshell:
>Where have all the 2 door basic trucks gone?
>lots of interesting things from an engineering perspective. they need to make a 4 door
Basically why 2 door single cab trucks went away.

>>28510175
I’m seeing this as a way for chink ev(s) to enter and then dominate the US car/truck market.

It will be the Chinese century! China will grow larger.

>everybody wang chung tonight

two doors don't sell in 2025. if you look at the 11k new Tacomas on lots right now, there's 100 two doors. Nobody wants them, so if you only budget for one body style, you go for four doors. that's why Ford and GM don't even bother.

This might be an option

Going to be a hard sell at 30k thats for sure. If someone has to finance then might as well put another 10k and get a half ton

why so many slate threads
why no hype for telo or alpha wolf

>>28509826
Would you rather another bait thread? Plenty for you to get riled up in.

>>28510145
Would make for an interesting second vehicle if they can get the price right.

>>28510330
Didnt know about Alpha Wolf
I guess a prototype is driving around

>>28509798 (OP)
So how are they going to recover from ev tax refund removal

>>28510330
>>28510342
Never heard of it but I like the lines. Shame about it being an EV, I'd love a standard diesel pickup with that kind of look.

>>28510342
>>28510330
This is stupid, why does it need a nose

>>28510721
>why does it need a nose
To sniff things

>>28510721
Looks cool

>>28510837
No it doesn't

>>28510325
>small windows high beltline
slate clears

There is nothing interesting or desirable about this vehicle

>>28509826
That's a lot of actual trucks they've built for a vaporware company.

>>28510330
Now this is a vaporware company.

>>28510897
yes it does

>>28510051
>one big turd from that interview is that they are using a Chinese motor from JJE. why couldn't they get a motor from Tesla. Ford/GM or whatever that's made in the US?
The entire premise of Slate was and still is "make the cheapest truck out of the cheapest parts and shill it on /o/". Chinkshit motor is cheaper, that's all.

>>28510325
the body and cab layout make tons of sense for the Telo, it just makes it extremely gay looking unfortunately

>>28510325
Does this even meet crash safety standards? There's barely any room for a crumple zone and no real front bumper.

>>28510249
>>28510277
It's particularly bad with the Slate, IMO, because most people that DO buy "regular" cabs these days get them because it means a longer bed. The Slate is the worst of both worlds in that regard and I don't see it appealing to the sorts of people that buy RCSB half tons since those are almost always bought as "performance trucks" with V8s as a big selling point.

wrong
no one buys sclbs. ford doesn't even offer it anymore. scsb is actually the more common option.

>>28511689
>ford doesn't even offer it anymore
They do on work trims.
They don't actually make a single cab short bed, and I'm not sure they ever have. The bed on the "SCSB" trucks is actually the 6.5' mid bed that would normally be on an extended cab truck, not the crew cab's 5.5'. The Slate's bed, on the other hand, is 5' even, the same size you'd normally get on a midsize crew cab.
