Honestly, I cannot wait until Jay Leno gets his hands on an early production Slate and does his full review and analysis on his channel. He should also interview Tisha and Eric to go over the design and engineering elements, and then take it on the open road. I hope Slate is planning an episode on Jay Leno’s Garage!
Just sayin', but you have seen Leno's review of the Cybertruck?

It is kind of odd that Slate hasn't reached out to Jay for an episode. He's obviously open to driving prototypes. And Slate has surely been in his area several times to date. That's a great suggestion, cadblu.

I personally can't wait to see Savage Geese get hold of a Slate. They exercise zero restraint. I drive a Maverick, and I loved the Savage Geese review that called my ride "a cheap a-- POS", but then proceeded to title the video "All is forgiven at $20,000". Alas, I paid $30,000 (lots of options I wanted) for my "cheap a-- POS" :(

I really don't think we have seen a "test driveable" prototype yet. They may have built a few, but what we've seen have had mockups of buttons, and while the main mechanics appear to have been there, not all the details of the electronics and controls were. This is another thing that we will probably not see until sometime hopefully early next year.

Wonder if he had to agree to some restriction in order to do Telo?
