Slate Auto will start taking preorders for its bare-bones electric truck on June 24

The startup says customers who made a reservation before the preorder period will get an early delivery window.

Deliveries are expected to start in late 2026, but there’s still a big question hanging over the Slate truck.

Slate Auto, the startup that made headlines for its bare-bones, no-frills electric pickup truck, will start taking preorders for its first product on June 24. The company offered a few more details about the ordering process, but the final price of the vehicle is still unknown.

Slate said it will reveal pricing on the same day when preorders start, and that customers who paid a $50 refundable reservation fee will get dibs on the first finished mini trucks, as long as they pay the non-refundable $250 deposit and lock in their delivery window in 30 days.
