Range is said to be 205 mi (330 km), higher than the original estimate. This price is for the basic truck. The SUV configuration is expected to be $5000 more.
Tiny wiener trucks can rot in hell. Any advantages from electric engines are killed effectively by the insane weight, and people get killed even more effectively by these monsters and their obnoxious asshole drivers.
The Slate is 3600 pounds, which is 800 pounds less than the average car or truck in 2024, and a whole ton less than the F-250
I’m going to give the person you responded to the benefit of the doubt that they were talking about the electric Silverado and F-150, not this Slate truck. An even better comparison is the Ford Maverick Hybrid, which weighs 3856 pounds, so this is 250 pounds less than a comparably sized hybrid. The Maverick XL with gas engine is 3650 pounds, and this still beats that.
I appreciate you comparing like with like, but I have the feeling “tiny weiner trucks” imply a certain engine type, minimum size, and visibility requirements
The funny thing is, I think this truck looks visibly closer to a tiny wiener than trucks that imply the driver has a tiny wiener.
Sounds like someone’s got a tiny wiener himself
If you say so buddy. Oversize trucks are still almost exclusively for showing off and pissing off snow flake lefties or something, too bad these evs can’t do coal rolling eh?
This is the exact fucking polar opposite of an oversize truck. It’s nearly identical in size to a compact pickup from the '90s.
Would you buy one if they could?
Hell no, I hate those monsters. They’re a traffic danger too.
Unlike those big wiener 2 ton oversized trucks obviously. I guess both can be equally as dangerous depending on the driver.
More Slates than Silverados will be powered by coal.
You know what kills a lot of people? A collapse of the biosphere.
