The first vehicle by the mysterious electric vehicle startup named Slate Auto has surfaced online, and it appears to be an early version of the company's low-cost pickup truck. A photograph posted Wednesday on Reddit by u/discostranger09 shows a small, dark gray, two-seat pickup truck on a flatbed trailer, reportedly being unloaded from a shipping container near Los Angeles. TechCrunch, citing an anonymous source familiar with Slate's vehicle design, confirmed the truck is indeed connected to the startup. It is believed to be a concept vehicle for investor demonstrations at Slate's design studio in nearby Long Beach, California, and the pickup will go downmarket as a foil to the pricey Rivian R1T.
