With a final price announced ($24,950), specs set in stone (205 miles of range), and preorders open, the Slate Truck is closer to America’s driveways than ever. Production is scheduled to kick off in Indiana in the fourth quarter.
This week, I dove deep into whether this outside-the-box startup can succeed in the marketplace, and its new battery strategy that centers around LFP cells. But today, I want to zoom in on my impressions of the truck itself. I think the biggest question people have, given the manual windows and ruthlessly sparse interior, is this: Does this thing just feel too stripped out, even for the price?
