If the Slate succeeds I hope they do a full size truck version next

4WD option, actual towing capable with a bed large enough for a flat sheet of plywood. Yes I know it will cost more but be more capable for people that need to do more work or need more space for people if they SUV it.

Hope not, stay focused. 4wd, battery capacity likely, but I suspect 4 doors would be a major redesign, impact safety certification, expensive. Market unknown as it would be just another 4 door truck. Much rather time, effort, money put into the viable product.

Slate 2.0~ AWD, 4 door and real battery range. Would be a winner

Already people are talking about a new vehicle?, They haven’t even delivered their first vehicle yet. Where companies get into trouble is when they try to do too many things and try to satisfy every niche corner of markets instead of doing one thing better than everybody else. That is what differentiates a product.

All the people wanting Slate to be AWD and 4 doors are really just wanting a Maverick not built by Ford.
