My dream Slate review would be a competitive review. This would be mid to late 2027. Some car magazine assembles a Slate, a Maverick, a Santa Cruz, a Frontier, maybe the new Ford BEV, maybe a Telo if it ever ships. Compare them as small, light duty trucklets.
What will be really interesting is fast forwarding a year to Jan 2027. Assuming Slate ships Q4, will it be nominated for NACTOY, and how will it compete? That's an organization of auto journalists who know their stuff. That will be a great assessment. Or for that matter, will Slate make the Car & Driver Top Ten?
