After a 45-minute drive of the Slate Auto prototype, the author is optimistic about the upcoming $25,000 electric truck. The prototype, showing 6,000 miles, was driven from southwest DC to Rockville, Maryland. The cabin features manual adjustments, a column shifter, and simple climate dials.
Despite hard plastic surfaces typical of prototypes, the truck offers good visibility and a high seating position at 68 inches tall. The drive was described as 'refreshingly easy,' with familiar controls and a mechanical feel.
