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.

Just to be clear, this "truck" is absolutely tiny. It's several inches shorter than a Toyota Corolla. I think it's pretty great for a city dweller that occasionally has a need for a bit more carrying capacity.

Edit: with the one big caveat that a lot of city dwellers don't have access to charging at home.
