Slate Auto design philosophy is built around radical simplicity for the base Blank Slate and allowing the consumer what they want and don't want in a vehicle. One area that might prove to be a detractor for some is the lack of a radio. For me it's not a big deal I use my phone for my audio and...

“What [Slate] hasn’t really talked about is how many state credits are available...There are tons of people who already have reservations, who are still going to get a truck that's in the teens because of state credits and...
