Slate Auto’s radically simple electric truck opens at $24,950
Corroborated by 5 sources from 5 publishers
TL;DR
I drove the Slate Truck — there’s more to it than EV minimalism The truck asks one central question: will Americans trade features for affordability. To hit that price point, Slate stripped away features many drivers now take for granted. The truck doesn’t come with a touchscreen, stereo, or even speakers.
