The Slate Truck is a modular electric vehicle that starts as a basic two-seat pickup and can be customized with over 200 add-ons. While the base model costs $24,950, a fully customized build, inspired by a 1970s Ford Bronco, can approach $40,000. This build includes a squareback SUV conversion, a Michigan Copper wrap, throwback decals, upgraded bumpers, and a roof rack, though the estimated range is around 205 miles for the base model. AI
