I am wondering if later on slate will have an inline 4 or a v6 option, I feel like this would help sell the truck better. (I know it is an EV)
I'm sure you're going to get somebody shoehorning something in somewhere with this vehicle... People have put gas engines in Teslas and v8s in beetles. But the whole concept would be such a massive rebuilt. Basically the Slate has a drive unit on the back axle and a frunk with no drive unit. Probably the best retrofit would be a flat-4? In the rear? But why, buy a vintage corvair or VW van truck instead or one of the many hundreds of vehicles available with ice engines. Rebuild an old Toyota if you want the smaller size.
