DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
We announced our price of $24,950*, making the Blank Slate the most affordable truck in the U.S.** Here’s what people are saying:
“...the Slate will be the most soul you can get in a new car — gas or electric — for $25,000.” – The Autopian
“The automotive startup has exceeded expectations.” – Ars Technica
“There’s a $250 speaker system tuned specifically to the Slate’s cabin geometry that, on my listen, punches well above its price.”
“It's zippy and it's compact, too. … I’m rooting for it. I think it’s really cool.” – Marques Brownlee, Auto Focus
“The EV market at this point doesn’t have a technology problem anymore … It has an affordability problem. Slate is one of the first companies built entirely around solving that.” – Los Angeles Times
