An affordable line of electric vehicles expected in late 2026 from Slate Auto, Troy, Michigan. The base price for the pickup is $24,950; however, add-ons can raise the total to more than $30K. With barely more than a speedometer on the dashboard, the Slate uses the driver's phone or tablet for navigation and infotainment.

The concept is that the vehicle is a "blank slate" for user customization, and the company has trademarked the term. A 10-year, 110,000 mile warranty is optional. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is an investor. See
