- Slate Auto introduces the Slate Truck, a two-seater electric pickup priced under $20,000 that lacks paint, a stereo, and a touchscreen.
- The truck, offering 150 miles of range, is designed as a minimalist vehicle focusing heavily on personalization and DIY aspects.
- By eliminating paint and metal body parts, the manufacturing process is simplified and costs reduced, attracting investors like Jeff Bezos.
- Preorders start at $50 with deliveries expected by late 2026, while consumer acceptance of such a simplified vehicle remains uncertain.
It looks like a shark that has definitely been in more than one brawl and clearly has come out ahead because it’s still swimming.— Tisha Johnson, head of design at Slate, describes the aesthetic of the Slate Truck.
