Nice first impressions viewpoint from Drew, who has his own YT channel and also works at Telo Truck. The Telo folks went to the Slate SF Zoo event with the Telo truck. Would have been good to have a side by side shot. Body panels are fiberglass right now and will go to the polypropylene...

Liking the small size of the Bed Step, would be nice to be just a bit longer to the edge of the door.

My brother had one of these! I never sat in them for drives but tried to sit in there one time and got right out.

Out of Balance: Is the Slate the New Model A? https://www.hemmings.com/stories/out-of-balance-is-the-slate-the-new-model-a/ Reporter got a few things off, mentioning 150 to 200 miles of range instead of 240 for the extended battery. Additional seats provide total of 5, not 4. Although from how...
