The upcoming Slate truck aims to disrupt the EV market with a starting price of $24,950 and a practical pickup design. It features a 5-foot bed offering 35.1 cubic feet of cargo space, plus a 7 cubic foot frunk. While its towing capacity is limited to 2,000 pounds and payload to 1,550 pounds, it competes favorably with compact rivals like the Ford Maverick.
However, heavy towing or cargo loads can significantly reduce its 205-mile maximum range. The base model is notably barebones, requiring paid upgrades for basic features like speakers or suspension adjustments, potentially pushing the final price well above the entry-level tag.
