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...

Telo and Aptera made a video The Dream Driveway Neither is my cup o' tea, but both EV startups. Both companies been going for a while now (Aptera in 2019, but kicking around since 2006; and Telo Trucks in 2022). I believe they are working together on integrated solar panels on the Telo MT1...

Remember selling these at Circuit City…

Did not know they have a channel either, seems like their videos get a decent amount of views in the 200k–300k views. Slates got an uphill battle for sure, but they sure do have the big manufacturers thinking about small size trucks again at least

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.
