Overview
- Slate Auto introduced its first electric vehicle, the 'Blank Slate' pickup, with a base price of $27,500, dropping below $20,000 after federal EV tax credits.
- The truck features a stripped-down design, including manual windows, no infotainment system, and unpainted body panels, aimed at reducing costs.
- Buyers can choose from over 100 DIY accessories, including kits to convert the two-seater pickup into a five-seat SUV, with additional customization options available through wraps and upgrades.
- The base model offers a 150-mile range with a 52.7 kWh battery, while an optional 84.3 kWh battery extends the range to 240 miles, with fast-charging capabilities via the NACS port.
- Production is planned for Indiana starting in late 2026, with refundable $50 reservations now open for U.S. customers.
