Remember Slate Auto, the minimalistic, made-in-America electric truck that went viral in 2025? Originally, the car was supposed to start at $20,000 after federal incentives. Now, official price has been revealed and it's not exactly that, but it isn't too bad either.
The official starting price for Slate Auto is $24,950, though that doesn't include a destination charge, taxes, and other potential fees. Those federal credits that Slate hoped would push the price below $20,000 no longer exist thanks to Donald Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill", so hoping the price would be so low was unrealistic, anyways.
