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!?!! 🤔🤔🤔

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 […]

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:

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 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.
