Slate trucks are DOA with their current specs. They can’t tow on par with any truck or EV, they have sub 200mi range which makes road trips impossible, and they’re so bare bones that it’s not worth the trade offs. My cellular remote lock/unlock/climate/location in my current EV is the most useful and favorite part of my EV. I’d never buy an EV without them, no matter how enticing it is that I can put my own infotainment in the Slate truck.
I don’t understand Americans obsession about the ability to tow stuff. I’ve been driving a Peugeot 107 the last 14 years, with no hitch. Most things fit in the back, if the rear seats are folded down, we can even fit a washing machine in it. We have a roof rack for things that don’t fit. It’s only been a handful of times we either had to borrow my in-laws car, or pay to have something delivered.
Yeah, the Slate is probably not for a construction worker, nor for you, but I would love to have one

Towing is just an excuse for fat people to buy a pickup.
