41k ?!

The entire point of the Slate truck is to try to come in under 20K or around it, and without the EV subsidies that's probably not going to happen.



There's a reason limited production vehicles are almost always sports cars. Huge economies of scale are needed to target the budget market that you're not going to get as an unknown brand.


Slate is going to start closer to 28K now that the tax credit is gone (remember it’s not going into production until next year).

That said, $41K is still a big jump in comparison and it makes the Telo much closer to the price of a Model Y starting around $45K.


When I scrolled quickly through the landing page looking for the price, I noticed it wasn't there and figured it would be expensive. I didn't think it would be this much though...


There. It’s be something really expensive about EV’s. I keep hearing about batteries getting cheaper but these prices are insane.


It's twice the capabilities of the Slate though.
