The bare-bones Blank Slate's base price will rise to over $25,000 once its mandatory destination fee is finalized.

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.

    This looks really promising. I never drive more than 30 miles a day outside of a couple of annual road trips. I’ll have to see a video of what the SUV config looks like as I have kids but this would probably work for my lifestyle. It’s a rarity that I have to drive anywhere outside of my town.

      That’s my driving pattern too. Probably averaging <5mi since I don’t drive most days, but yeah, 30 is as far as I’m likely to go when not on a trip.

      You might also want to check out the Telo truck. It’s a little more biased toward passenger space. It has 4 doors and a bed in the footprint of a Mini.

      I wish the Telo was a bit more modular like the Slate design, with easily replaceable parts. And currently their rear glass is structural, so you can only remove the lower part of that rear partition when you put a shell over the bed, making it less like a normal SUV. I am also a bit more nervous about their viability/capitalization. Will they be around for a decade or more? Hope so, but not sure.
