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.

$25K for this thing ?

$26K is what I paid for my Base, and that included the $995 upgrade to Azure Grey.

That was a great buy.
I can’t find a used Bronco for under $30k.
One day I’ll find a used 2dr that I can afford to pickup.

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.
