They look like excellent fleet trucks.
Comment on Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen

this strikes me as a fascinating idea–with a couple of eyebrow-raising backers–that is probably going to flop spectacularly because it’s too minimalistic to the point of just being cheapskate

I’d imagine the $20K price is for a model so basic many people won’t want it. it will be interesting to see what the price is for a model most people would consider an acceptable basic car.

There may be a market.
The big 3 have been chasing larger trucks, effectively abandoning this market. I can see this being a farm truck that gets beat to shit.

Why this over a used vehicle?

Is there a used electric truck old enough to be $20,000?

Because it’s new? Among other reasons…
