Slate Auto’s electric truck starts at $24,950 with 205 miles of range. It sits at roughly half the average price of a new car in the US, which now hovers around $50,000. The truck uses a 65 kWh LFP battery feeding a rear motor with 181 hp. First deliveries are expected by the end of this year.

I really want one. Not ready to buy any new car at the moment, but I really want one…
Good on them for increasing the base range. That really starts to hit a sweet spot now. This is pretty compelling now, if you consider the next generation of battery may get 250-300 in a few years.
I get why they mad it 2WD, but AWD would make this an instant buy for me.
Available in Europe?
Ugh, dang. I’m going to be the guy in the friend group with a truck.
LFP chemistry is huge. This truck should have hundreds of thousands of miles in its lifespan.
My LFP equipped Model 3 is at 207k miles and battery is 90% state of health.
