Slate needs to get themselves added to carsized.com. Telo is there! https://www.carsized.com/en-us/cars...crew-cab-vs-ford-maverick-2021-4-door-pickup/

Everyone should email carsized.com and tell them to add it. I did.

Edit: Carsized confirmed they are trying. They’re waiting for a response from Slate. We can stop emailing Carsized and email Slate and tell them to respond to carsized.

It would be nearly the same as the Silverado.

If I can't get a Slate, I want a 1985 Toyota SR5 Pickup. The updated EV version!

Isn't this just a reformatted video of the size comparison on their website?
This time with an awful audio soundtrack.

Just to be inclusive... The Slate would be right around 2 feet longer than the Telo.

I am disregarding the Slate as a truck. I prefer to think of it as an SUV with emphasis on the "U". The size of the Slate with the squareback is nearly identical to the Honda Element. Show that profile. I love my Element, but it is aging. Time for a replacement.

I like the Telo. I just can't do the price. It's Slate for me. Glad to see it mentioned, tho.

Sometimes I scratch my head when OEMs discontinue product lines that seem to be much loved. I know they have their reasons, but it's sad to see them pass.

Same for failure to launch autoshow prototypes that are big hits - but never see the light of day. You know there's a reason, but it's buried deep in corporate boardrooms.

I would like the Telo if it had a frunk. I really think cars should have a crumple zone. I wouldn't feel safe without one.

I love my Element, but IIRC that was just another case of the vehicle pricing out the target market. It's a shame but it's probably better that they discontinued it when they did. It had already lost the plastic side panels by '09 and I doubt all the things that made it uniquely Element (the opposing side doors, split tailgate, removable glass roof panel) would have survived in a proper second gen.
