American journalists found out the main characteristics of the truck after the presentation. Slate Truck is very compact: it is shorter than Honda Civic and compare in size with the Toyota SR5 truck forty years ago! Practicality is also not impressive: the mass of the towed trailer is only 453 kilograms, and the carrying capacity is 635 kilograms. This can scare off buyers.
Electric pickups: who needs it and why?
The length/width/height of the Slate truck is 4435/1793/1760 millimeters, respectively, the wheeled base is 2766 millimeters. Journalists noted that the novelty is “much less than buyers think”, because even Ford Maverick seems a giant compared to electric car. Another reverse side of accessibility is a utilitarian interior without an audio system and with the “oars” of the windows.

However, taking into account subsidies, the price of Slate is promised to keep within 20 thousand dollars, and this is an interesting offer, because other electric ones at least 2.5 times more expensive. Also, the startup, supported by the billionaire Jeff Bezos, promises fast charging from 20% to 80% in half an hour. The range will be from 240 to 386 kilometers, depending on the type of battery.
The rating of the most popular pickups in Russia has been compiled
One of the competitive advantages of the Slate pickup will be a transformation: from a truck you can make an SUV with a closed body or Lando with a removable roof behind. However, first, the basic version should be reached by the basic production: they plan to bring it to the US market at the end of 2026.
