      I’d totally rather a company with the supply chain and mature market for parts. Slate truck is hoping to fill the low cost, no frills, extra customizable electric truck segment.

        Man, I hope Slate trucks sell like fucking hotcakes. The lack of creepy spyware makes that the only new vehicle I’m considering.

        … what? You just said Toyota doesn’t have a proper supply chain or market for parts? You do realize Toyota is literally one of the biggest and most mature car manufacturers and has been for years right?

        I’ve been looking forward to the Slate truck too, really hoping it’s successful. It would be a perfect upgrade from my 07 Ranger.

        I’m not normally a truck guy but I really want one of these. I just hope the battery upgrade and individual accessories/customizations don’t bump the cost too high. I love how small the truck is
