I've spent a lot of time here trying to understand what the target market is for the Slate, and I think I've gathered it all into a flowchart for who the Slate is meant for.
Let me know your thoughts below, and/or what I missed
Actually even if you're not a contractor .. just need a commuter vehicle with 2 passenger limitation. The SUV kits add the extra seating but if they really are $5K more then the next gen Bolts and the new Hyundai/Kias that are due out in 26 are probably a better bet (depending upon if they qualify for the same tax credit as the Slate). I'll keep my Slate reservation, but when they start shipping I'll be looking at all the lower cost EV options. Ideally Slate will offer the SUV tops without the roll bar and seats to stay competitive.
