If you live near Lake Tahoe, you could drive your E-truck to Truckee.

I do need to eat some crow, the Slate does have a Frunk, so there is some closed dry storage in the base config.

I can only wonder what future landfills and the repercussions of mass amounts of large batteries will be like.
Most batteries are recycled.

I wondered how that worked.

VW has developed a process where they grind up the used batteries and separate out all the materials. They say they have a 96% reclaim rate and all the materials can be reused to make new batteries. Hopefully others will come up with similar processes.

Somehow a video popped up in my YouTube video about an odd, East German vehicle company, maybe the only or one of few ones that survived west German take over. Multicar, an very basic, small, high Payload capacity, low power, modular truck. They are still in business, although under new ownership. So, out of curiosity, I search what the Multicar M31, a small diesel dump truck variant, costs. 128,500Euro.... I was thinking this was an economical thing....
If it was a Lot cheaper, the specs aren't bad at all. 90 kph max speed, 6 mtons; 3.2mtons Payload, 4x4, 150hp diesel, even a hydrostatic transmission available, but at 128,500E; that's insane
