Beta test Slate truck prototypes (video)

A look at beta test Slate truck prototypes.

The message from Slate:

We're building more than hype. For starters, we built a facility full of beta test vehicles so your Slate (and every Slate) turns out just right.

I’m wondering exactly how many beta test vehicles Scout has built so far.

oh no - we’re losing you to Scout? I thought we were discussing Slate

Nope, but my Scout reservation was made first. The Scout was going to replace my FJ. The Slate is in addition to my FJ. I’ve only seen two Scout betas, one for each body style.

There's the orange one and the gray one. So... two! Plus a metric ton of CG renders.

The Scout EV forum has over 3x more members than the Slate forum. Hmmm...

lol good for them I hope they succeed

Scout had a bit of a head start. It’s also a more mainstream vehicle. I’m sure the Scout marketing budget is more than 3x the Slate budget.

Good. And if you need real world drivers for them, call me.

Scout production isn't planned until late 2027. They probably won't have anything driving around until early next year.

Glad to help drive them!! Noticed the hood and front quater panels are VERY different in appearance...may different material....

 

[Luxrage]

If they need some 'real world' driving data, ship me one of them and I'll put it through its paces as a daily driver / parts getter

We'd be like the families that Chrysler loaned turbine cars to for testing.

Why is it I can not get Bronco Hard top color and texture issues out of the back of my mind.
