With all the buzz around the new Slate Auto truck, I'm wondering what everyone thinks about it. What do you guess the realistic range will be? And what about how much it can tow and haul in the bed?
Been keeping up with the Slate truck buzz since the start, and I reckon the actual range will be a tad less than what they advertise. If it can tow okay without killing the battery, then color me surprised.
I started paying attention after stack it up with some other electric trucks I’ve driven. My guess is the range will really depend on the weather and how much you're hauling. If they can find a good balance with towing, it could still be a great first try.
I’ve had an electric truck before, so I’m trying to keep things real. Range tends to drop fast when you start pulling heavy stuff. If Slate can tow even a little without a massive drop, I’d say that’s a win.
