Slate, the first EV I've seriously wanted.

Well, OK, second, but I don't have the multi 100s of 1000s for Rimac.
I'm seriosuly invested in these guys making good, it's a great concept, it's simple, minus all the bullshit and it's infiniatly configureable, I want one.

PS: rearrange the letters in "SLATE" . . .
Someone is taking the piss.

Its giving me defender vibes in SUV guise.

It's giving me Panda vibes, back when Fiat made indestructible cars

sort of more reminds more of my v1 Discovery in Kinversand ( well that means orange in landcover speak ). nice idea that its so cheap that you can pretty much dispose of it ever three years!!

Interesting, but every time you park up somewhere and leave your car for 5 minutes, you'll come back to it looking like this:

It’s pretty fun how the different configurations give it a totally different vibe too. Roof rack and front grill Defender vibes, all black mini Range Rover vibes.

I’ve been trying to justify an Ineos Grenadier for the classic Defender vibes (at the price tag, I totally cannot.. not even close). Something like this might scratch that itch instead and be fun also. Thanks for putting on the radar, I’ll be following it!

I get more 1970 International Scout vibes, TBH.

I build Restomod Defenders and can give people a Grenadier for half the price or a full on BMW diesel powered luxury go anywhere machine that puts the RabgeRover to shame, starting at not much more than Grenadier money. Think a Defender, Brabus.

You’re making me wish I lived in Europe now, TB!

That's exactly what I was thinking

I have been following this for a year or so now. I am loving that they pulled in more than a few MOPAR folks which was very telling about the configurability and customization options they were going to offer. But seeing it come to the finish line at the price point is still something I can’t believe.

I so want one.

 

[mclarendude]

Got my attention when it was unveiled. Love the customization and it looks great.

Hadn't seen that model before but definitely a better comparison.

and we all know what comes next.

Not that common (even less so here) but a very nice SWB 4x4 that fetches good money as a basis for resto-modding these days.

Face it, no one is going to buy the base model anyway, most people outside of inner city dwellers will want the larger battery, a radio, aircon and various bars, racks and assorted gubbins. I imagine that the Dip Your Car people ( https://www.youtube.com/@dipyourcar ) will be very excited as this body is just made for their product. It's the perfect blank canvas for some wild temporary paint jobs.
