The Slate Truck's price may have leaked, starts at $24,950

Slate Auto's upcoming electric pickup truck, the Blank Slate, is reportedly set to launch with a starting price of $24,950. This price point positions the vehicle as a more affordable option in the electric vehicle market, a key aspect of Slate Auto's "back-to-basics" design philosophy. The company aims to reduce the overall cost of new vehicles by offering a simplified feature set, with even electric windows listed as an optional extra. When the Blank Slate was first revealed in 2025, Slate Auto had targeted a price of approximately $20,000, contingent on the continuation of the $7,500 IRS clean vehicle tax credit. However, this tax credit was later abolished in 2025, necessitating a price adjustment. The Blank Slate is designed with a compact footprint and notably omits an infotainment system and embedded modem, with options for future upgrades to an SUV or fastback configuration. The vehicle is expected to offer a range of 150 miles (241 km), a figure that Slate Auto acknowledges must be competitive with its pricing to attract buyers. The formal debut of the Blank Slate is scheduled for next week, marking a significant step for Slate Auto in entering the competitive electric truck segment.
