    Jeff Bezos's $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

    I see a lot of those aging 2 door small pickups. I used to wonder where I could get one. Then I saw the Slate...

    Jeff Bezos's $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

    Interesting. I actually wouldn't want it if it had 4 doors. I don't want a back seat either. There are tons of 4 door vehicles out there. It's annoying that there aren't more 2 door vehicles to choose from.

    New touring event dates are up on the Slate Events page!

    Philadelphia might be a good location for people from its next door neighbor, New Jersey. Meanwhile, I'm wondering where in the SF Bay Area they'll be going. I drove up to the event in SF, but I'd go again.

    TFL Truck Video: EV Trucks Are DEAD. (& Their Take on Slate)

    Never heard of those guys. But on a little trip to the mountains today, I noticed a lot of older 2 door pickup trucks.

    You can go fast or you can go far, but you can't do both

    Fine with me. With kayaks on a roof rack, I can't go over 80 mph. I'll be much happier avoiding roads with high speed limits and fast drivers. I love the backroads. Gonna throw in The Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime - a reference to being just fine with doing 55 on Interstate 10, and...

    The Slate is a Coupe Utility Vehicle (CUV)

    Thank you! I'm really hoping that the Slate Truck will meet my needs. It might, but I'm still trying to figure that out. One element would be finding out the weight added with the SUV kit, minus the seat, but with a roof rack and extended roof rack over the SUV part of the truck. The next...

    New Car and Driver Article: Will The Tiny Slate Truck Become the Next Big Thing?

    I wonder what the SUV kit minus the seats, etc, would weigh? I do want that, and the extended battery, and the roof rack (that goes over the SUV kit). And I'm wondering after all of that if I'll be able to pack any of my gear for my road trips. I really want a 2 door/2 seater EV truck. No...

    What is your order?

    Something like this, but without the seats. Maybe not the roll bars, if the SUV kit back/roof will support kayak lifters and some kayaks without them. Also, with a 1.25" receiver for a bike rack. I will be really happy not to have all the subscription nonsense that modern cars come with. And I'm...

    how many 2 door pickups of any kind are sold each year?

    I love that Slate is doing this. And I'm very glad that they're going for a 5 star safety rating.

    Yes, the Slate DOES compete with the Maverick (and more!)

    The Slate will be my primary vehicle. I won't have another car. I don't want 4 doors. One of the reasons I don't have a truck is that it's hard to find a 2 door model. I'd rather have the 5' bed than a row of seats. I don't want a giant truck that won't fit in most parking spaces. I plan on...

    Dark Blue Wrapped Slate Pickup w/ 20" Wheels, All-Terrain Tires, Roof Rack, Bed Rack, Running Boards @ Moto Social Club in Ferndale (Detroit, MI)

    Just wondering, wouldn't you need the rollbar with the full roof rack (includes the SUV roof, not just the cab roof)?

    Ford EV Announcement Aug 11 - livestream registration link

    Maybe the media think that the public doesn't want 2 door trucks anymore because they're really hard to find. You can't buy something that nobody's willing to make. I for one am thrilled that Slate is a small 2 door truck. Around the same size as my old Outback, but with more usable space...

    Will the SUV/Fastback Roofs be available with no window and no extra seats??

    Thanks! It's still early, so hoping you're right.

    Will the SUV/Fastback Roofs be available with no window and no extra seats??

    So, that's different than the SUV kit. The Cargo kit doesn't have windows in the back, but the SUV kit does. Looking forward to one of the in person events. I really liked the look of the SUV kit. But I really don't want back seats, I just want the covered storage, but with windows. I'm...

    Is FORD Preparing to Release a SLATE Competitor?

    I'm glad that more companies are making EVs. But this vehicle has four doors and a backseat. It's not the same. I want the storage that comes with a two door pickup truck. So, not really a competitor for people like me.

    What is Slate competing with for YOUR money?

    I want a small electric two door pickup truck, that I can use for camping trip, road trips, errands to the garden center and just getting around. I don't want a big truck. I only want two seats. I want an EV - I have no interest in a small ICE pickup truck or any other ICE vehicles. I...

    Were you first drawn to the Slate itself or the headline price?

    I've been wanting a small 2 door electric truck for years. And the price seems to be right. One thing I really don't want is a built in infotainment center that pushes ads, which I hear some automakers are doing. I really don't want to have to put an ad blocker in my car!
