Slate Auto confirms where it’ll build its $20,000 Truck

The electric truck from Slate Auto will cost just $20k when it hits the market in 2026, a bold move aimed at undercutting Tesla while showcasing US manufacturing prowess. Built in Warsaw, Indiana—a former printing press factory now converted for electric vehicles—Slate plans to produce up to 150,000 trucks annually, a goal Tesla took over five years to reach with its Fremont plant. The all-dominos vehicle skips expensive parts like paint and metal stamping due to its minimalist design, emphasizing simplicity and cost efficiency. With a focus on domestic suppliers, Slate aims to counter global trade tensions while setting a new standard in electric truck manufacturing.
