Overview

• Slate Auto will produce its $25,000 electric pickup truck, priced under $20,000 after federal tax credits, at a retrofitted 1.4 million sq ft factory in Warsaw, Indiana.
• The factory, a former printing plant, is expected to employ 2,000 workers and revitalize the local economy after its closure in 2023.
• The truck’s barebones design, including manual windows and no infotainment screen, allows for simplified manufacturing and low costs.
• The entry-level model offers 150 miles of range, with an optional battery upgrade extending range to 240 miles, and supports the NACS charging standard.
• Reservations for the truck are open with a $50 refundable fee, with production slated for Q4 2026 and first deliveries by year-end.
