The Slate Truck's price may have leaked, starts at $24,950
The leaked listing also showed 181 hp and a 2,000-pound tow rating before Slate removed the details from its website.
- Slate Auto accidentally leaked the starting price of its Blank Slate electric pickup truck at $24,950 on its website, just one week before the official pricing announcement scheduled for June 24.
- Originally targeted at around $20,000 in 2025, the truck's price increase reflects the loss of a $7,500 IRS clean vehicle tax credit that was abolished later that year.
- Updated specifications show the Blank Slate features a 150-mile range and 181 hp electric motor, with a tow rating doubled to 2,000 lbs for enhanced capability.
- Slate faces significant competitive headwinds from Ford's upcoming full-featured electric truck and a growing surplus of off-lease EVs soon saturating the market.
- Designed with a back-to-basics approach, the Blank Slate appeals to buyers seeking a compact footprint with the option to upconvert the vehicle into an SUV or fastback.

Ford teases compact electric pickup, Slate leaks its truck's price
It looks like the small-'n'-inexpensive electric truck wars have begun, and with two secretive shots fired. Ford has put up a video of its truck prototype on its U.S. consumer site, while Slate revealed the starting price of its bare-bones model at US$24,950 (about CDN$35,270) in what was either a leaked mistake or well-planned publicity.
