The final number lands squarely in the \"mid-$20,000 range\" Slate flagged as its fallback. Customers can place a $300 non-refundable deposit within the next 30 days to secure a delivery slot, with production set to begin in autumn 2026 and deliveries expected in late 2026.\n\nThe pricing matters because affordable EVs remain a genuine gap in the American market — most electric trucks start well above $40,000. Slate is betting that a bare-bones, American-made truck at this price point has an audience, even without federal subsidy help.\n\nWhether $24,950 still feels like a deal when you account for options, destination fees, and the now-absent tax credit is a question Slate's order page will start answering shortly.","[\"electric vehicles\",\"startups\",\"hardware\",\"transportation\"]","2026-06-24T12:00:00.000Z","2026-06-24T13:04:02.577Z","2026-06-24T13:04:05.543Z","published",null,[],"consumer-tech",[26,27,28,29],"electric vehicles","startups","hardware","transportation",[31],{"name":32,"url":33},"The Verge","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theverge.com\u002Ftransportation\u002F955738\u002Fslate-auto-truck-ev-price-availability",0,{"sections":36},[37,42,47,52,57,61,65,70,75,80,85,89,94,99],{"name":38,"slug":39,"count":40,"latest_published_at":41},"AI","ai",538,"2026-06-24T15:15:00.000Z",{"name":43,"slug":44,"count":45,"latest_published_at":46},"Deals","deals",161,"2026-06-24T13:00:00.000Z",{"name":48,"slug":49,"count":50,"latest_published_at":51},"Security","security",148,"2026-06-24T17:25:00.000Z",{"name":53,"slug":54,"count":55,"latest_published_at":56},"Policy","policy",103,"2026-06-24T13:35:19.000Z",{"name":58,"slug":24,"count":59,"latest_published_at":60},"Consumer Tech",87,"2026-06-24T14:22:56.000Z",{"name":62,"slug":28,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Hardware",79,"2026-06-24T16:36:06.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Software","software",64,"2026-06-24T16:15:00.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",53,"2026-06-23T18:13:40.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Science","science",39,"2026-06-23T05:25:16.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Gaming","gaming",36,"2026-06-24T15:05:01.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":27,"count":87,"latest_published_at":88},"Startups",31,"2026-06-24T16:48:43.000Z",{"name":90,"slug":91,"count":92,"latest_published_at":93},"General","general",27,"2026-06-24T08:50:14.000Z",{"name":95,"slug":96,"count":97,"latest_published_at":98},"Reviews","reviews",20,"2026-06-24T12:00:01.000Z",{"name":100,"slug":101,"count":102,"latest_published_at":103},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
