Model 2 vs. Slate Truck: The Race to Affordable EVs Heats Up 

Has Tesla lost its way? Their initial master plan promised affordable EVs, yet we’re still waiting. They’ve poured billions into FSD, a technology arguably decades behind competitors. Is this a wise investment or a costly distraction from their core mission?

The Model 2 aims to rectify this, finally offering a $25,000 EV. But is it too little, too late? New competitors like Slate Auto are emerging, offering intriguing alternatives like the $27,500 Slate Truck, a customizable, no-frills EV pickup. Does this minimalist approach have greater appeal than Tesla’s tech-heavy offerings?

The Model 2 boasts impressive specs, but the Slate Truck offers a unique modular design. Which approach is more compelling – cutting-edge technology or adaptable simplicity? Will buyers prioritize performance and features, or affordability and customization?

Considering the current EV landscape, are these vehicles truly game-changers? Will they significantly impact EV adoption rates, or remain niche products? What features or price points would truly democratize EV ownership? Share your thoughts and predictions for the future of the affordable EV market.
