The electric pickup market has lagged in consumer adoption, with the Tesla Cybertruck dominating in sales despite its polarizing design. Enter Slate Auto, a new startup offering the Slate Truck—an affordable, traditionally styled pickup starting below $27,500. With a focus on practicality, the truck features a simple design, including crank windows and a minimalist aesthetic that prioritizes function over flashiness. Backed by investors like Jeff Bezos, Slate Auto aims to provide a customizable vehicle, allowing customers to personalize their trucks extensively, differentiating itself from current offerings and potentially addressing consumer needs that have been overlooked in the electric vehicle market.
Motorists haven't embraced electric pickups yet, but startup Slate Auto’s traditional-looking Slate Truck offers customisability and practicality—starting from under $27,500.
The Slate Truck focuses on essential features and simplicity, contrasting with Tesla’s Cybertruck, which hasn't yet delivered on its promise of affordability for the masses.
Investors like Jeff Bezos back Slate Auto, which aims to provide a highly customizable vehicle for practical use, a stark departure from conventionally styled EVs.
With its focus on practicality and affordability, Slate Auto's offering could capture interest, especially given consumers' frustrations with current electric pickup options.
