>I really miss all the short trucks

I hope the Telo pans out (and comes down in price to where I can afford one). Looks funny but it's such an obvious idea.

It's funny because when I saw the Slate, I thought it was cool, but the bed was a bit too short to camp in. And there was a large front trunk, a little too large I thought. If only they could take a bit off the front, and put it in the back.

And then I saw the Telo! Hah, they went too far in the opposite direction. Something between these two is what I'd like.

Haven't heard of the Slate before. Not sure about only having two doors but the price is a lot more attractive.

Funny, I've never head of Telo before, but I'd trade the rear cab for more bed length. 6' is a good length where you can fit a lot more things.

The Telo has a fold down rear wall to extend the bed. The Slate looks like the wall can be removed in SUV mode, less convenient to do so however.

Oh that's actually nice. Though in Slate's defense, they are trying to be the cheapest car possible so I'm not sure they're direct comparisons.

Yes, that’s how I think ev truck should look like. With a bit longer bed probably in
