New company run by ex Rivian engineers. Has some investment from Bezos.
2 seat truck super stripped down tarting at under 20K with rebates. All plastic panels no paint. No infotainment system/stereo. Will offer a bunch of part to cutomize it including diy wrap kits and an option to add 2 more seats and covert it into an SUV or a hatch back. Will partner up with a national repair chain like Midas to any repairs that you can't do yourself.
This will be the real test for whether the people on the internet screaming for cheap EVs will actually buy this.
I think they will sell less of these than the Ford Maverick.
Having a good product is always only going to win you less than half the battle.
I hope these guys will do well.

Will even go past prototypes, the failure rate of these companies even with $ backing seems very high. Look at canoo, friskers, lordstown, who's buying rivians or lucids.
^^ yea but how much power do you need? The kei trucks are rated at 350kg of cargo in the bed. So if you use it for garden runs, dirt, fridge, wheels, engines, it should be more than enough. And all 3 side gates fold down so you have a perfectly flat floor for loading unloading on 3 sides.
A few speculations and I'm asking because I'm not well-versed in the world of EVs.
1. Will these be subject to Trump's tariffs? I assume these will be built/made in the US? (Bonus question: Could this be considered a kit car?)
2. Are these even be certified or street legal in Canada?

I'm sure if it's us certified then we should be also isn't it all under than USA Mexico agreement. Why would you make a us only car. And I can't think of any modern car that's USA only and illegal in Canada.
Of course tariffs baby, so yes kei is still a better buy.
$20000 USD is $27,735.968 CAD today
So that's like 3 kei trucks or a used model 3, y, s

The slate has a 635 KG bed capacity, is way safer and way easier to get parts for. I don't even know where in Nanaimo I could get a kei truck fixed. Also kei trucks are pretty slow with a top speed of 120km. The slate is 3 feet longer and aboyt a foot wider than a kei truck. It's about the same size as an 80's Toyota single cab pickup truck.
No one wants a regular cab truck outside of the most basic work truck. So if this thing is 20k it’s a work truck most people would be better off with a Mazda 2 or so thing if you need room

Or you meet some girl at the club, cum inside of her, find out shes only in grade 12, so you buy a Prada bag for her to make things right, she finds out the bag is a fake and decides to have the kid
