The Slate is a bare bones stripped 2 door passenger pick up. The Slate has lots of options which adds to the $25k price likely making comparable to the Telo price wise.
THe Telo has all the features 4 door passenger pick up. Telo’s marketing research says the 4 door model is what the consumer desires.
The Slate is a spartan two-seater with a five-foot bed. The Telo also has a five-foot bet, but manages to squeeze in five seats.
The Telo is 152 inches long, about the size of a Mini Cooper. The Slate is 174.6 inches long. That’s still about two feet shorter than a Ford Maverick.
The Telo boasts a stylish, minimalist interior with interesting textures and a modestly sized touchscreen front and center. The Slate takes the minimalism to a whole different level with a gray interior, manual windows, lots of plastic and no infotainment screen.
That includes a bolt-on SUV kit that adds a roof and a second row. Other add-ons include interior finishes, speakers (you don’t get any sound system otherwise) and colorful vinyl wraps (every truck comes in gray from the factory).
The Slate has less range & much less towing capacity & 3/4 of payload capacity.
The Slate might be good for auto parts stores & florists & grocers that deliver. Listen up Walmart Canoo has gone bankrupt so no EVs from them.
I hope both become profitable as they add new models to an untapped market segment.
