I’m just happy to see a video of the Slate driving on the street for blocks on end. And one of the 78 prototypes no less. Good to see a unit on the road with signals turned on, multiple interior and exterior shots (Action cams set up one in front, two inside, and one in the rear for those up...
It’s interesting if it’s the case that their COO Jeremy Schneider would slip with regards to the details of extended range being 230 miles. I’ll personally go with it being a slip of the tongue, but if it is, it’s a heck of a slip to mention this on a video platform like Jay Leno.

I just can’t get over the look as well. I know the Telo team mentions the Mini Cooper size as comparison repeatedly, but I don’t relate the Telo to a small car, but to a Kei styled truck of some sort with the front forward front wheels.
