I prefer to drive with only technology that adds value, such as anti-lock brakes. I love music, so I'll probably spring for the optional Bluetooth speaker too.

Here's what I look forward to (likely with the +$5000 SUV kit):

"I Drove Slate’s $25,000 Electric Truck. It Could Be A Real Game-Changer

InsideEVs finally got to drive the Slate Truck. Despite the budget price, this simple EV feels planted, solid, and comfortable."

Slate is in Austin this week giving ride alongs in some of their pre-production vehicles. Made it down to South Congress today to check them out. Really a fun little truck.

#infosec folks: the #SlateAuto site allows one to create an account including your address and order info etc. But rather than having what I would consider "proper authentication" using a password or passkey, they just email you a code at every login. I don't like this, I guess for similar reasons why we're not using SMS as a second factor. Is this old man cloud-shouting on my part?

...that Slate electric pickup keeps getting more and more interesting.

I don't know that it'll ever be in my price range, but if I were somehow able to afford a $25K vehicle to turn into a camper / mini house on wheels, the Slate might be pretty high up the list, given its huge selling point of containing a 63KWh battery, which (presumably with the right options/mods) greatly reduces the need for any sort of separate power system for car camping, or just pulling up in a parking lot somewhere to work away from household activity for a few hours.

I hope the #Slate truck succeeds and becomes an example of how omitting an embedded modem is a sensible decision and popular among consumers.
#slateauto

#SlateAuto has said since the beginning that they'll be a DIY-friendly & right-to-repair-supporting car company, supplying how-to videos and CAD files for all kinds of customizations. The first tutorial on their "Slate U" site has gone up: how to replace the front signal covers. Simple procedure, but the step-by-step instructions and the quality of the video walkthrough make me excited for the what's coming.

Pre-orders open tomorrow morning!

Accidental leak, vibe-coded oversight, or deliberate guerrilla marketing campaign? Who knows. But it looks like #SlateAuto's barebones EV pickup truck price may have gotten revealed a week early, at $24,950.

I hope Telo Trucks and Slate Auto go far because they make exactly the kind of small, simple, and practical vehicles I wish I saw more of out on the road. And they’re EVs! With great range relative to the amount of battery you can squeeze in them!

Preorders for Slate's small, two door, no-frills EV pickup truck go live in less than a month, on April 24th. $300 non-refundable deposit due at that time to hold the delivery window, with early reservation holders getting earlier windows. Deliveries start late 2026!

Newsweek names former Slate Auto CEO and current President of Vehicles, Chris Barman as their Auto Disruptor Visionary of the Year. Also names Slate's head of design, Tisha Johnson, as their Design Disruptor of the Year.

Only one month until reservation holders will start converting into order holders!

America is so starved for affordable EV options that the mere hope of a $20,000 EV drives hype cycles. #SlateAuto doesn't even have a factory yet, but people are putting down non-refundable deposits. Meanwhile, GM and Ford are scaling back their EV plans and discontinuing EVs like the Bolt. They deserve to have BYD eat their lunch.
