Overview
- This week Slate opened preorders with a nonrefundable $300 deposit and published a $24,950 base MSRP for the two-seat pickup and $29,950 for the convertible SUV configuration.
- The company released technical specs showing a single ≈65 kWh LFP battery, a rear motor rated about 181 hp, and an estimated 205 miles of range for the base model.
- Slate published a detailed accessories price list that lets buyers add hundreds of parts and conversion kits, with typical SUV conversion packs priced at $5,000 to $7,000 and fully optioned builds easily rising well above $40,000.
- Slate says some buyers can reach net prices under $20,000 using limited, income-qualified state rebates but those outcomes depend on program rules, available funds, and whether direct sales qualify for local incentives.
- The company plans limited initial deliveries late in 2026 and a full production ramp in 2027, leaving execution risks around converting a large reservation backlog, qualifying customers for rebates, and scaling service and manufacturing.
