Everyday I get sad at the fact the Toyota IMV 0 is not allowed to be sold in the US.
I’d totally rather a company with the supply chain and mature market for parts. Slate truck is hoping to fill the low cost, no frills, extra customizable electric truck segment.
Man, I hope Slate trucks sell like fucking hotcakes. The lack of creepy spyware makes that the only new vehicle I'm considering.
The Bezos truck? No thanks
If your argument for not liking a company is because of a partial investor being a rich guy, I sure hope you walk everywhere. Else be a hypocrite.
I drive a Toyota
I’ve been looking forward to the Slate truck too, really hoping it’s successful. It would be a perfect upgrade from my 07 Ranger.
… what? You just said Toyota doesn’t have a proper supply chain or market for parts? You do realize Toyota is literally one of the biggest and most mature car manufacturers and has been for years right?
I think they mean they'd rather have Toyota, but right now there's only the promise of Slate.
Oh makes way more sense, was like they were literally talking backwards
I’d rather have a Toyota than an off brand alternative.
I'm not normally a truck guy but I really want one of these. I just hope the battery upgrade and individual accessories/customizations don't bump the cost too high. I love how small the truck is
This pisses me off too. The its exactly what I want and cant get.
