Slate Truck First Drive: A Minimalist's Delight

A first-drive review found the Slate Truck easy to operate and modestly quick in city driving.

The electric pickup is intentionally bare-bones, with no paint, stereo, or touchscreen.

It uses a 181-horsepower single-motor setup and is rated for about 205 miles of range.

Slate also offers strong customization, including vinyl wraps and an SUV conversion kit.
