    The trucks that everyone wants this to duplicate; Ranger, Hilux, S10, Durango etc, were real trucks, with full frames, and could do real truck things. The slate is a poseur.

      What sort of truck things could an old 4 cylinder hilux do that a slate couldn’t? (besides tow a light load long distances, which EV’s aren’t very good at due to how drastically reduces the range from added drag, but that’s the compromise made for buyers who are concerned about climate change).

      Could always take a page from the aussies and call 'em a Ute. Everybody loves a good ute. :)

        The guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about, the Slate doesn’t even have a FWD option, RWD only.
