Cheap American electric vehicle Slate Truck - sometimes an SUV, sometimes a pickup, maximum customization and personalization

America officially has cheap "home-grown" electric cars! This is the Slate Truck electric vehicle model that can be converted between a pickup truck and an SUV by Slate Auto - a new car company established in the US in 2022 with the orientation of making cheap - durable - practical vehicles. Price from ~$25,000 - the lowest in the current US market for small electric vehicles. A car is simply a vehicle but emphasizes personalization, Slate Auto offers more than 200 accessories (80% priced under $500) and more than 100 wrap colors. Slate Auto CEO - Peter Faricy said there have been more than 180,000 reservations and the car is expected to be delivered in Q4 2026.

The car's design is minimalist, square, and practical, but the exterior can be customized with kits, allowing the car to become a Fastback SUV, Squareback SUV, open truck, off-road, or open roof like a Jeep. The vehicle's body is a blank canvas, easy to wrap and attach accessories.

The interior is also simple, there is no entertainment screen, only a small screen for the driver, all physical knobs and buttons, many drawers and storage compartments. The interior is also customizable with additional accessories for purchase. The material is durable, cheap, easy to produce but still has a "premium" feel just enough.
