Summary
$24,950 appeared on Slate Auto’s website as the starting price for the standard-range Blank Slate pickup, with screenshots circulating ahead of the truck’s formal debut next week.
The leak also showed a rear motor rated at 181 hp, down from 201 hp, while tow capacity doubled to 2,000 pounds and range remained 150 miles.
That price is higher than Slate’s earlier roughly $20,000 target, which had assumed the now-abolished $7,500 U.S. clean-vehicle tax credit would stay in place.
June 24 is when Slate is expected to confirm final pricing and specifications for the stripped-down EV, which omits features such as standard power windows and infotainment.
