The Slate Truck is expected to start deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2026. However, due to the high number of reservations, actual delivery for some customers may extend into 2027, with estimates suggesting around the second quarter of 2027 for many. The truck is being produced with a planned annual capacity of about 150,000 units. The entry model price is anticipated to be around $27,000, potentially dropping below $20,000 with federal EV tax credits. Slate is producing the trucks at a repurposed factory in Indiana, and the truck is positioned as a simple, customizable electric pickup with a short range of about 150 miles for the base battery. The company has indicated that initial deliveries will begin at the end of 2026, but due to demand, some buyers will wait until 2027 to receive their trucks.

In summary:

  • Slate Truck deliveries start late 2026 (Q4 2026)
  • Most customers may receive trucks in early to mid-2027 due to reservation volume
  • Price around $27,000 before incentives
  • Production in Indiana

If you have a reservation or plan to order, expect your truck to be available mainly starting late 2026, with the bulk of deliveries in 2027.
