Critics say that “size matters” in the US
Enthusiasts believe that Gen Z and millennials will love the proposal
📍 KEEP AN EYE ON: If this concept catches on, it could change the North American automotive market forever!
🚗 REVOLUTION IN THE MARKET? Slate Auto presents a minimalist electric pickup truck for LESS THAN US$20 thousand!
While American automakers continue to launch giant and extremely expensive pickup trucks, a new company called Slate Auto has just shocked the market with a radical concept:
👉 An ultra-simple, compact and (almost) no-frills electric pickup truck – and best of all, priced under US$20 thousand (with incentives)!
🔥 WHAT DOES THIS VEHICLE HAVE (AND WHAT DOESN’T HAVE)?
✔ Spartan design: No paint, infotainment screen or even a radio! ✔ Human size: Doesn’t scare children on the street (unlike current pickup trucks)
✔ Modest range: 150 miles (about 240 km) – enough for everyday use
✔ Price that gives hope: Half (or less!) of the price of a traditional pickup truck
🚗 THE PROBLEM WITH GIANT PICKUP TRUCKS IN THE USA
While Slate bets on minimalism, Americans continue to be obsessed with automotive monsters:
75% of sales in 2024 were SUVs and pickups (it was 50% 10 years ago!)
Absurd weight: 31% of new cars weigh more than 2.5 tons (vs. 22% in 2018)
Danger on the streets: Tall and heavy vehicles kill more pedestrians (fatalities +57% in 10 years)
⚡ THE ELECTRIC PICKUP TRUCK THAT DEFIES THE MARKET
Slate’s proposal is a slap in the face to the industry:
✅ Compact: Easy to park and maneuver in cities
✅ Economical: Low cost for those who don’t need luxury
✅ Sustainable: Electric and without excess
But will Americans give up the “size matters”?
🛑 THE CHALLENGES AHEAD
Global trade war could affect production
Government less favorable to electric vehicles
Culture of “bigger is better” in the US
📍 KEEP AN EYE ON: If Slate can deliver, this pickup could be the beginning of a revolution – or just a distant dream.
