Tommy share sentiments with a few of us on this forum. We love the idea of the Slate, but we question whether or not there are enough buyers. Remember that it doesn't matter in the least if tghere are 5,000 of us small BEV truck fanboys. What matters is that Slate can sell it at a hundred thousand units a year. Because below that, they lose money - auto plants typically have to reach 80% utilization rates before they make a penny.

I was most interested by the large number of comments. Which were all over the place.

I just reserved mine yesterday and I have been obsessively watching every YouTube video I can find including this one this morning. I can see large slate clubs forming off-road groups and meetups all over the country this is going to be a big thing if they can Mass produce these things extremely quickly and it shouldn't be difficult with less than 6,000 parts I think you should be able to build it yourself and buy the whole truck as a flat pack think about that
