Range is said to be 205 mi (330 km), higher than the original estimate. This price is for the basic truck. The SUV configuration is expected to be $5000 more.

But it will be a real vehicle made by a real company with things like a ‘radio’

That's a bad thing, because "radio" these days implies "spying and enshittification."

Slate is the only EV on the entire market that isn't fucked with that deal-breaker.

CarPlay isn’t enshittification

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

CarPlay itself, perhaps not. The telemetry, ads, annoying safety nagging, and sometimes even paywalled vehicle features that tend to be implemented alongside it (because the underlying computerization facilitates both the good and the bad) is, though.
