THIS TRUCK CAN BE ANYTHING.

EVEN AN SUV.

CUSTOMIZE IT. CHANGE IT. MAKE IT YOURS.

It's a Slate. A radically simple electric pickup truck that can change into whatever you need it to be – even an SUV. At a price that’s actually affordable (no really, for real).

PURPLE REIGN

A fastback SUV with a purple wrap and lift kit, to make you feel like true royalty. 

DESERT DRIFTER

Take a pickup. Add a Blacktop Kit, Tire Carrier, and upgraded grille. Go have adventures. Repeat. 

CALI SUNSET

Our fan design challenge winner! A roof rack for your board and bright palm tree decals. It's proof that summer is a state of mind.

THE PROFESSIONAL

Roll up in a sleek, black fastback SUV with tinted windows. Perfect for celebs, secret agents, or keeping a low profile.

MAUVIN' ON UP

It's suave. It's mauve. It's an SUV with 20" wheels and bright green accents.

THE SUNNYSIDE

A sleek, capable fastback meets laidback attitude.

SURF BREAK

Racks for your board and a design that almost smells like sunscreen. Good for catching waves. And making them.

THE WEEKENDER

32” tires and a big SUV roof rack mean the adventure starts as soon as you leave the house.

BLUE WANDERER

Nothing says "up for anything" like an Open Air Kit, offroad 31.5" tires and a roof rack.

GLOW STICK

A glowing green fastback SUV with roof rack and 20” white wheels. Because the rave is wherever you are. 

THE CHERRYBOMB

A street-ready pickup in classic red. Definitely your color.

GRIT AND GRIND

Room for your pals in the back. And room for their boards up top.

HIGHWAY HERO

A squareback SUV in a handsome blue wrap. Get ready for carpool requests.

THE STARGAZER

Pro tip: head out to the fireworks and watch your Open Air Kit make everyone else jealous.

PETAL TO THE METAL

Cool green wrap and a custom decal: this is growing into something awesome.

MUD MASTER

Big, bold wrapping and plenty of accents: this isn’t just a truck, it’s a time machine to the weekend.

STELLAR STRIDER

Eye-catching? Functional? Have it both ways with bold colors and a rugged Tower Rack.

THE DJ SET

Custom wraps. Room for your PA. The party’s here, y’all.

KIND OF A BIG TEAL

Now that’s a fun wrap. Even makes you look forward to the Monday commute.

BEACH BOUND

Lose the door, throw on an Open Air Kit, and turn errand-running into summer fun.

THE VINTAGE

Sunburst racing stripes — is this your dad’s old pickup?? Not by a mile.

STREET SMARTS

Custom wrapping to wear what you love where everyone can see it.

QUIET POWER

Sleek and smart with a fastback body and 32” tires. You don’t have to be loud to be heard.

POSTED UP

Lowering Kit + custom wraps = this isn’t your neighbor’s SUV.

THE BUILDER

Not too big, not too small: wraps, racks, and storage make this truck the perfect fit for your business.

CHECK OUT MY HIGHLIGHTS

Sometimes a little pop of color is all you need.

MOVING DAY

Put that pickup bed and roof rack to work. Pizza sold separately.

LUCKY 77

Custom wheel and body wraps say “I street race” without the whole lawbreaking thing.

THE DOER

No matter what you’re building, fixing, renovating, or installing, this truck is ready to work.

NIGHT WATCH

A custom wrap and room in the back for boards, speakers, and your friend who holds the camera.

IT’S A BLANK SLATE. YOU CALL THE SHOTS.

We believe you should decide how to spend your money, not us. So, while other auto companies make bigger, pricier, feature-packed cars, we made a blank Slate. A vehicle in its essential form, without all the unnecessary stuff that adds to the price tag. Less cluttered, more useful. It's a blank canvas for personalization, so you can get exactly the Slate you want, with the stuff you want, at the price you want.  

Space, comfort, simplicity.

REFRESHINGLY UNCLUTTERED.

The interior celebrates personal space and comfort with an intuitive feel that’s elegantly simple yet memorable, and above all else, useful.
