I can forgive and even cheer the absolute bare bones amenities it offers including no telemetry for the price. The hardest pill to swallow is the lackluster battery range and max charge rate.
That sounds a lot like Lordstown, which collapsed incredibly soon after beginning production. Part of the issue was that their target audience (fleets with basic work trucks) isn’t so fond of relying on a small, unestablished startup.
Lordstown Motors got done in partially by its own management, partially by a short seller screwing them over. It had little to do with fleet customers.
I really wish EV manufacturers would get around to targeting fleet pickups. Generic, bare-bones, featureless trucks.
Like Slate? I have high hopes for them but the price is already creeping toward $30K.

There’s also the Telo MT1. Costs significantly more, but I understand that it’s expected to have a longer range. It’s also a small EV truck.
The price leaked at ~$25k

They do say that while the federal rebate is gone, some state rebates do still exist.
I’ve had my Slate reservation for over a year now, and will make the deposit on the 24th. I can’t wait! :D
