Slate says its electric truck will start at $24,950.
Startup Slate has set a $24,950 starting price for an electric pickup truck. The company's website lists the figure prominently but offers almost nothing else. There is no published range, payload capacity, charging spec, or delivery timeline. What exists, so far, is a price and a URL.
Electric trucks have generally entered the market at prices that exclude most buyers. A $24,950 entry point, if it holds, would meaningfully shift that picture, but a price announcement without supporting specs is closer to a pitch than a product launch.
A number is only as useful as the vehicle it describes. Until Slate publishes what the truck actually does, $24,950 is a headline in search of a story.
