Overview

What it is

A Slate is a two-door electric pickup truck that’s thoughtfully designed and engineered to be customized again and again to transform into whatever you need it to be, even an SUV. With an expected price of under $20,000*, it’s radically affordable.

Intent

I need it when

Purchase an affordable electric truck that can be customized to match personal style and needs

SLATE is a two-door electric pickup priced in the mid-twenties with extensive personalization via the Slate Maker tool. Users can add wraps, SUV kits, racks, and 40+ accessories à la carte, paying only for features they want rather than bundled trim packages.

Use smartphone as primary vehicle interface without relying on outdated built-in systems

SLATE has no built-in infotainment; instead it includes phone mounting and charging, Bluetooth speaker compatibility, and optional accessory tablet bracket. This approach keeps the vehicle current as phone technology evolves and avoids expensive system failures.

Own a vehicle that transforms between multiple body styles without buying a new car

SLATE converts between pickup, squareback SUV, fastback SUV, open-air, and cargo configurations via interchangeable kits. Users can reconfigure their vehicle whenever needs change, avoiding the cost and waste of trading in for a different model.

Drive an electric vehicle with simple, low-maintenance operation and easy charging

SLATE uses a single 150kW rear motor, requires minimal maintenance (brakes, tires, fluids only), and integrates with home chargers and Tesla Supercharger network. The vehicle is designed for local daily driving with 150-mile base range or 240-mile extended battery option.

Support American manufacturing and buy a vehicle designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA

SLATE is designed in California and Michigan, engineered in Michigan, and assembled in Indiana. The company explicitly positions itself as bringing manufacturing jobs back to the Midwest with full domestic production.
