How much does Slate need to sell to be considered "successful"?

[Letas]

I think Slate is successful if they are still selling vehicles in X years. My gut tells me X is 5 years, but I think the answer is closer to 10.

I do not like Hyundai products, and would not buy one as a first choice, or second, or third, but they are still a successful company.

They just need over 40K annual sales to be the best selling BEV Pickup Truck in the country.

They just need one sale to be the best-selling compact pickup truck in the country

But by then the competition will have overtaken them before they deliver their first truck.

I think you misinterpreted it. "Still selling" not "started selling"
And what competition in "Compact trucks"?
Telo seems to have no plans to scale up, and Maverick isn't that compact, and doesn't plug in. The teased future Ford EV truck will likely be larger than the Maverick.
