Slate EV Truck Could Win Over Buyers With Low-Cost Cab and Roof Upgrades
The article discusses the Slate EV pickup and proposes two low-cost value-added ideas to justify a $25,000 price: a King Cab-style extended cabin (the Caboom) that lengthens the interior space, and a removable/fold-down roof to create a convertible/truck with flow-through ventilation. These ideas aim to boost practicality and excitement without a big price bump, helping Slate compete with upcoming rivals like Ford’s EV Maverick and other new or used options, while emphasizing the need for strong “cool” factor to win over buyers beyond just price.
