I came to the Philly Zoo to see one of the 3 prototypes of the Slate Truck. There's only three of these in existence. Each one costs 1.2 Million Dollars!

The issue with the Telo is that they never said it would be cheap, just small

The other big glaring problem is the fully exposed front wheels. Those telos are going to get launched into the air in minor fender benders

They did get the price down of the initial units, so I can see them eventually getting lower as they scale.

Especially as demand goes up for vehicles like this. Everything else is a tank.
