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.

Bed cap optional.
Just over $40k.
Small turn radius.
Alex drove the 2nd prototype.
If I get the Slate, I plan to use the T-Track system they have in place and use the RAM system to attach a MagSafe charger.
been using something similar on my Honda Fit dash to hold my two smartphones.
@pursuit @AZFox Glad you brought this up. I recall another YT car channel (Motor Trend) bringing this up and getting shredded by the chat just for mentioning it. I’ve commented on it as well and folks make it seem like it’s a zero percent chance.
Out of the 7+ cars I’ve owned (living in...
I feel like I don't disagree with the sentiment of the market as a whole and points in the article. Folks still want to overspend on vehicles from within my circle of family and friends. I'm one of the few that think vehicles are too expensive and elect to drive a decade plus car. My own spouse...

I prefer the video someone posted here in May of the Slate driving in the parking lot and making turns over the quick cut videos of the Slate panning left and right to make it seem like it’s going faster than it is.
Hoping there’s more videos of the Slate driving around that pop up over the...
I’m impressed they had 70+ units for testing and certification.
There were rougher units that were doing testing in Arizona a few months ago. Looking forward to Slate showing final products off next year if they can get there. It’s tough to make things for sure.
When I saw this, I was thinking. I mean, it moves and there was a turn in there a few times. Haha. I get its marketing and this video may be for the youts
Million dollar hand made prototypes going to have rough edges.
Slate broke ground on assembly plant and expect to see finished builds sometime next fall/winter. The wait from now to then will be boring

This video came out 4 months ago during the release, but I just ran into it today.
It’s all in Korean, so I don’t understand, but it had shots of the prototypes in the different configurations.
I only go to YouTube, Reddit, and here for my slate social media, so there may be other videos with...
