Slate tells customers when to expect the earliest deliveries of its $25K electric truck
Slate, the Jeff Bezos-backed company that's building a $25K electric truck, gave customers more clarity about their delivery timeline.
Slate, the startup building customizable $25K pickup trucks, has announced that its no-frills electric truck will begin hitting US roads in December 2026. Previously, the company had given a vague delivery window of late 2026. In response to customer inquiries, Slate provided a clearer timeline, listing December 2026 as an option in an email.
The company also included estimated delivery windows in the emails, ranging from "coming soon, 2027" to "July-September, 2027." Slate's affordable electric truck, with an estimated 205-mile range, has attracted attention due to its unique specifications, including two seats, crank windows, and no touchscreen or stereo. The company has received over 180,000 refundable $50 deposits and over 10,000 nonrefundable $300 preorders.
The $28,350 Ford Fathom pickup, with features like Apple Maps navigation and four doors, will serve as a benchmark for Slate's truck.
