$24,950 SLATE Truck / SUV Info & News

[Oldhippie]

We wanted mini trucks for mini prices. A Slate for Maverick money and less specs and service is hard.

I have a Slate reservation but am not sure i'll build it/order.

The Telo looks like the cute 1962 Ford Econoline, but I am afraid that company will Canoo without the Bezos bucks Slate has.

I had an ex telephone econoline van back in my college days…great for my use at the time but it was a wreak…oil soaked clutch would slip over 60mph and it would foul a plug about every couple hundred miles…

Personally, I think it is really close to a great idea. The price it still too high for what it is, but as a cheap knock around short distance car it is compelling. If I didn't already have my baby car too, I would seriously consider it.

Ford's Ranchero EV might scratch the same itch and be at a service shop we already know from our Bronco's. A little truck to save our Broncs for the fun miles. I like the DIY interchangeable parts on this Slate though, pickup to fast back. The PPE plastic dumpster doors and bed (a la GM Saturn) and only able to wrap it makes me wonder how it will hold up.

Don’t know if this was already mentioned, but the Nissan Pulsar NX from 1987 had the modular body thing down. One car was a coupe, hatchback, convertible or pick up.

Maverick. Comes with radio, seating for 4, paint colors, power windows and probably more.

My local dealer is selling 2026 Mavericks - 4 door, paint(!), AC, power windows, nav, sound system etc for $26,500.
This is the hybrid model that gets 42mpgs.

A Slate specced similarly (but will still be much smaller) will be about $10k more. And will only have a 200 mile range.

Yeah, I just don’t know who this appeals to for non-fleet use at this price point, other than someone dead set on a fully electric pickup who can’t afford a Rivian.

I can see my city using them for their maintenance fleet as they just drive around town. But I do not see a reason why vs a Maverick unless they were told to find an EV solution.
