- The Blank Slate pickup is a minimalist EV with no infotainment screen, lane-keeping assistance, or modem, focusing on modularity and affordability.
- The vehicle is designed to be customizable post-production and is expected to be priced in the mid-twenties, likely around $27,500.
- Production is set to begin in Q4 2026 at a repurposed printing plant in Warsaw, Indiana, which will also serve as a customer center.
- The Slate pickup will use only 600 parts, significantly fewer than traditional pickups, and won't require a paint shop or large stamping.
- The company is considering offering factory pickups to customers, potentially eliminating delivery fees.
