A NEW TRUCK FOR UNDER $25K. REALLY.

It’s official: the Slate will be the most affordable truck in the USA*. If you're thinking about preordering: the Blank Slate will cost $24,950** (about half the price of an average new car).  

But the price tag is only one way affordability is built in. 

START WITH A BLANK SLATE

We removed the stuff that’s usually built into truck price tags (think: trim levels, infotainment features, massage seats).  

Bring your own tech: no built-in screens or redundant apps 

Physical button controls

Smaller, more functional body size 

Window cranks (our personal favorite) 

PICK THE FEATURES YOU WANT 

Add what you need, whenever you want. 

Pick your body style: Truck or SUV (we have three) 

Wrap colors you can swap 

100+ accessories across a range of prices 

Easy DIY installation 

EFFICIENT DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING  

We rethought how trucks get designed and manufactured. 

A smaller factory than most automakers 

No paint shop

Fewer parts than most vehicles 

Right-sized battery for daily driving (65 kWh)  

Our preorder window is open: don’t wait to lock in a delivery slot.
