SLATE Auto offers the Slate, a uniquely customizable electric vehicle that adapts to your lifestyle.

Its simple design focuses on essential features, avoiding costly extras, so buyers pay only for what they want.

It comes in a base gray color but is designed to be wrapped in various colors and styles easily. Owners can personalize their Slate with nearly 40 accessories, including wraps, racks, and tech mounts, all installable at home or by authorized service providers. Technically, the Slate is rear-wheel drive with a 150kW motor and offers two battery options: a standard range with about 150 miles and an extended range up to 240 miles. Charging is simple, using a standard household outlet or faster Level 2 charging. Owners also get access to Tesla Superchargers nationwide. The interior is uncluttered, with analog controls for heating and air conditioning, and relies on the owner's smartphone or tablet for infotainment. This keeps the vehicle affordable and up to date with the latest apps and media. Maintenance is designed to be easy and DIY-friendly, supported by Slate University, a free video resource hub.
