- Slate Auto increased the electric truck's battery range from 180 to 205 miles, tow rating from 1,000 to 2,000 lbs, and load rating from 1,400 to 1,550 lbs.
- The company's marketing strategy, including a base price leak, may be intentional to exceed expectations and generate buzz.
- During a passenger ride, the truck felt smooth and not cheap, with decent handling and one-pedal regenerative braking, despite modest performance specs.
