jeff351 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The more I read about this, the more I want one. Fits the bill for what I need a truck to do. I was looking at Rivian and Cybertrucks the other day but again, they offer more than what I need (and cost 3x-4x more than this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchamakalit Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Just saw this article. https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/25/slate-auto-eyes-former-indiana-printing-plant-for-its-ev-truck-production/ May not be interesting to some but Warsaw is a stones throw from my place.

Eagle Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 It would be interesting if Slate (or someone) would come out with an affordable kit to covert Comanches to electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherOldJeepGuy Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I am holding out for the 2-door Gladiator with a Comanche sized bed. Granted, I anticipate a wait most likely longer than I have.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she puts in plenty of work, I'm thoroughly impressed with mine, having gone into it expecting to be disappointed. It tows, hauls and handles just fine, most hate on it due to lack of research, and just wanting to hate Chrysler. It truly is the most bang for your buck in a mid size, like a swiss army knife. Though any midsize is way overpriced, these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm there with you, a 2 door Gladiator with a 6 ft bed, Pentastar V6 and a 6 speed manual, I'd have happily parted with a lot of my hard earned money for that combo.

Moosieus Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Someone recommended I look at the (Blank) Slate on account of wanting a truck and already owning EVs. Someone else said it kinda looked like a "Comanche". At that moment I discovered Jeep made a truck based on my childhood car ('97 XJ my mom still drives), and was immediately smitten. I'm now the proud owner of a Comanche Concerning the Slate, there's a lot that concerns me just on paper. The retail price is closer to ~$27k, with the ~$20k figure being after a $7,500 non-refundable credit on your federal tax return. The base range is purported to only be 150 miles, with an "available accessory battery" extending that to 240 miles. Based on the architecture of contemporary EVs and my layman knowledge, that's a pipe dream and unlikely to happen. I've more concerns, but I'll leave it at that. It's nice to see a truck that lends itself to customization though, lots of straight body lines and relatively easy colors to complement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
