If they actually follow through on making the Slate as privacy friendly as they claim in this article, and it doesn't have any major flaws, I'm gonna go ahead and say this is perhaps one of the best options for someone in need of a mini-truck/SUV hybrid.

I mean, I guess I do? I want a 2 door truck that's wide enough for a bench that will sit 3 people and a bed that's at least 6.5 foot long. So, 90's style F-150 or 1500. What they're offering is too small for me to be interested. But I'm actively hoping they make a bigger version in the future.

Alternately, I'm kind of hoping their stuff is modular enough that I could electrify an older gasoline truck. Doubt they're actively looking to sell kits to the hobbyist market, but that would be awesome.

I have one of the aforementioned 90's style trucks. Still had an extended cab and a proper sized bed even then (late 90's at least).

It's also not my daily driver, but if I could get something off similar capability in a fairly simple EV I'd gladly swap it and my regular car over.

That's ridiculous. You want a van.
