Delivery Date Poll: When will Slate Truck deliveries begin?

[AZFox]

Repeating the poll from six months ago.

Slate Auto says "production will start in 2026, with first deliveries starting at the end of 2026".

When do you think the first Blank Slates will begin being delivered to customers?

Counting early runs In small numbers.

Under my tree at Christmas....David is going to fly in to ATL and help me unwrap it.

I'm in Cincinnati, so can I come over and drive one of the first ones off the line ?

I like it. On the pointy tip of the bleeding edge!

I will point out that they did not say "first CUSTOMER deliveries will start in late 2026". Startups are famous for meeting first delivery promises by token deliveries of test vehicles to their own employees, just so they can do a press release that they met a target.

So OP, maybe you can edit this thread to read "when will the first true customer deliveries..."?

Don’t you need to get it wrapped before you unwrap it? 🙂

What do you think the “26.2” Slatelets mean? I use to think they were planning on getting production started in the 2nd quarter of 2026, work out all the bugs of the assembly line, and possibly make some changes to the final design.

I thought of that.
They could easily do something like that.

Holiday Season productivity drop-off won't help, either.

I think.... they are probably a Slatelet to appeal to the running crowd. 26.2 is the distance of the marathon, in miles of course. Similar to the 26.2 bumper stickers we used to see

Well duh. Of course, I'm ordering two to get you up in line.
