Slate Auto is keeping its promise. Pricing for the Blank Slate electric pickup will be announced in June, with the base model still targeting a mid-$20,000 price point. This affordability could significantly broaden EV accessibility.

Are you experiencing range anxiety when considering an EV? While home charging is ideal, public options are evolving! Did you know some workplaces now offer charging? Assess your needs & local infrastructure before taking the plunge. #batterytechnology #SlateAuto #greentech...
Tesla price hikes are squeezing buyers! Demand for EVs remains high, pushing up costs & making entry-level models harder to find. Could government incentives help ease the burden? #SlateAuto #EVaffordability #Tesla #ElectricVehicles
New research suggests EV battery fires are often sensationalized. While any fire is serious, data indicates they're less frequent than gasoline car fires when considering incidents per vehicle miles traveled. Let's focus on facts, not fear.

New EV charging data suggests routinely charging to 100% isn't necessary for most drivers. Studies show minimal benefit over 80%, and constant full charges might impact battery health. Consider a more relaxed charging routine!

And car buyers can be really irrational. Many reject autonomous cars. Many reject electric cars. Many prefer driving stick.
In the year of our Lord, 2026, #SlateAuto plans to sell their Slate 2-door electric truck with manual ROLL DOWN WINDOWS! Riddle me that, Batman!?!! 🤔🤔🤔
Here’s how Slate Auto plans to handle repairs to its electric trucks https://arstechni.ca #SlateAuto #Cars

IMO, this is what the VW ID Buzz should have been. No one bought a VW Bus back in the day because of niceties; they bought it because it was flexible and cheap, relatively speaking. With inflation the advertised price of a VW Bus in 1970 ($2,495) would now cost $21,323. Hit that price point and […]

The next stops for #SlateAuto's EV truck roadshow are this weekend. If you're in #Cleveland they'll be at the Great Lakes Science Center, and if you're in #Olympia, they'll be at Ember Goods Coffee, then Percival Landing Park. If you go, please share pics, I'd love to see the different wraps […]
A Slate pickup truck on display. The truck has a light blue wrap featuring the skyline of Seattle and the logo for the Space Needle on the door and hood.
The rear tailgate of the Slate electric pickup truck, featuring artwork of the Space Needle against a blue field of clouds.
The front "frunk" gives ample enclosed storage space under the hood of the Slate electric truck.
Interior steering wheel of the Slate electric truck and the phone holder. The dash panels in gray cover empty cubbies that can be used for adding speakers or a radio, but the truck comes with no infotainment and relies on your phone for maps and music by design.
Went to the Seattle Space Needle today to check out the #Slate electric truck in person. Initial impression on sitting in it is that it feels solid and looks clean. Very comfortable and had lots of headroom. Was expecting it to come off a bit flimsy or feel […]

Slate Auto had been operating in secret for three years when a photo of a non-descript electric truck started circulating on Reddit in April. @Techcrunch created this timeline that describes the Bezos-backed company’s developments over the last three months:

Got a nice letterpress printed concept art / thank you card from #SlateAuto today.
Finally, they talk about their right-to-repair ethos. The truck has lots of predrilled/tapped "access points" and t-track rail for 1st and 3rd party accessories to use as needed. Slate plans to publish open-source CAD files and detailed specs on access point load capacities.

More from the interview: The truck is assembled with future disassembly in mind. This benefits the total life cycle sustainability of the vehicle as parts can be swapped out easily, either to repair, replace, or customize. Nothing is glued or bonded, no isocyanate foams that break apart […]
Good interview with a couple of #SlateAuto's design team. One big ah-ha for me was the discussion about part re-use. The driver door armrest, flipped on the Z axis becomes the passenger door armrest. Flip it again on the Y axis, it's now the center console cover. 1 part, 3 uses. This reduces […]
#SlateAuto will have one of their prototype EV trucks parked at the Space Needle in Seattle on July 14 & 15. Time for a mini road trip to see one in person!

Hey, @slateauto.bsky.social any idea when the #Detroit event/meetup is? Website says June; we're running out of June. ☺️ #slateauto
#SlateAuto has a great social media marketing team. Everything they put out seems really authentic, doesn't feel salesy, and makes me want their truck even more, even when the truck is barely even featured.
