    I was looking at the new Slate truck and that at least looks somewhat promising

    Yeah, the Slate is interesting. The fact that it doesn’t have a massive infotainment screen is itself enough to keep me intrigued. I’m not an early adopter, though. I’m going to see how their first model run goes, at least.

      After being a model 3 early adopter, I concur about not doing that again. I’ll be waiting at least two to three years from the first delivery before I look to buy it.

      New vehicle from a new company -hard pass. Even legacy makers can’t seem to make a reliable new model.

        I too feel similarly, but electric engines aren’t exactly new tech. Idk what battery composition they’re using but that’s probably the only iffy part to me if they are innovating anything there

        If the base model is truly simple, it’s probably gonna be an alright product

        We’ll see though, totally conjecture on my part
