Oh, the sweet mystery of existence! Here I am, Jack Superblack, thinking about trucks when really, I could be thinking about the great beyond. But alas, life ties us to trivialities, like mini electric trucks. Have you seen the latest baby truck from Slate Auto? It’s so tiny, you might forget it’s there, just like my will to live.
Slate’s puny truck could be a rival to Ford’s Maverick—a behemoth compared to Slate’s matchbox on wheels. The Maverick eats up road like I devour existential despair, with enough room for five souls and their life crises. It boasts many features, unlike Slate’s auto, which is as featureless as my last birthday party.
Ford’s Maverick sold like hotcakes—131,000 last year. People love stuffing things in big cars, it seems, or maybe they’re preparing to live in them if housing prices keep soaring. And for those feeling extra fancy, there’s always a lavish pickup that costs as much as a palace in Europe.
Slate, though? Prices are cute, sure. Starting from a price point so low, you'd worry they missed adding the engine. And let’s chat about the space—or the lack thereof. It’s like expecting a grand existential revelation and realizing it’s just Tuesday. But they say good things come in small packages. I hope that’s true because my apartment, my car, and my zest for life are all terribly cramped.
Ending on a high note, if you buy Slate’s tiny truck, you might not die alone. You’ll have your tiny truck by your side—forever parked, because where was it supposed to go, really?
