Nothing gets past me, I got eyes like a hawk!
One of the most fun parts of the @slateauto event was watching @teardowntitan meticulously examine each component’s design, material choice, and their fasteners.
We attended the @slateauto electric truck reveal last night — and yeah, we’re impressed. ⚡🛻 A lean design approach done right: Minimalist. Customizable. Affordable. youtu.be/TuFe_zilimw?si…
Congratulations to Chris, Eric and the rest of the Slate Team. Thanks for inviting us.
Slate just unveiled their affordable, minimalist EV trucks. Curious where they got that idea from? 🤔😉
Thank you for the boat ride and letting me take the wheel! I had a great time.
It was great having @live_munro out on the Arc Sport today! Their teardown videos helped us learn what we needed to move fast in this space. It was a full circle moment meeting Sandy and showing him what we've developed!
