In a shocking twist, a $20,000 electric pickup is shaking Tesla’s throne. Here’s how Slate’s budget beast stacks up against the mighty Cybertruck—and why Elon should be worried.
🔥 The Battle of Electric Pickups Just Got Real
The EV world just got its most unexpected challenger—the Slate Electric Pickup Truck, priced at a jaw-dropping $20,000. Meanwhile, Tesla’s Cybertruck, once hailed as the future of trucks, now finds itself facing a fierce new rival that's cheap, smart, and stunningly capable.
âš¡ Price War: Slate Leaves Cybertruck in the Dust
While Cybertruck’s base model crosses $60,000, Slate’s fully-loaded version starts at just $20,000. That’s one-third the cost, making it the most affordable electric pickup in the U.S.
So if you're wondering whether you can go electric without breaking the bank, the answer is: Slate is your hero.
Range & Power: Can Slate Compete?
Surprisingly, yes.
-
Slate Pickup Range: Up to 250 miles
-
Cybertruck Range: Up to 340 miles
While Tesla still wins on max range, Slate is no slouch. It delivers dual motor power, fast charging, and enough torque to tow most mid-size trailers—all while staying wildly affordable.
🚙 Design & Usability: Bold vs Practical
-
Cybertruck: Space-age, angular design, polarizing looks
-
Slate Pickup: Traditional truck styling with modern touches
Cybertruck screams futuristic beast, while Slate feels familiar but smarter. For truck lovers who value form and function, Slate may just be the better everyday option.
Features vs Price: Slate Wins Big
Despite the price gap, Slate offers:
Dual motor AWD
Digital dash and infotainment
Towing up to 7,000 lbs
Fast charging support
All of this under $25K.
Tesla fans may argue over style and tech, but the average buyer might just vote with their wallet.
Eco-Friendly Edge
Both pickups push the green agenda, but Slate's lower price point means EV adoption for more people, which could be a bigger win for the planet.
Slate Might Just Outsmart Tesla
Cybertruck is powerful, futuristic, and full of flair. But Slate brings the EV dream to the masses. If you're looking for an electric pickup that doesn’t empty your wallet, Slate might be the true Tesla killer—at least in terms of accessibility.
