Slate gets a high-roof cargo variant, Tiger tugs, and CEO Tim Cook leaves Apple
About this episode
The episode discusses Tim Cook's last day at Apple, Slate Auto's new cargo variant, and Waev's electric tug.
On today's hard-working episode of Quick Charge, we tip our collective hat to Apple CEO Tim Cook on his last day at work before taking a look at Jeff Bezos-backed Slate Auto's approach to the compact truck market, and ponder its chances against The House That Henry Built. We've also got a pint-size powerhouse in the form of Waev's new Tiger Li-Ion airport tug that can tow more than 60,000 lbs., all day, every day, for nearly $20,000 per year less than the diesel competition.
