So today, we are looking at a single number - Slate EV Truck's price leak - that is "breaking" the automotive internet, and could actually be a June 24 nightmare for Tesla and Ford's affordable EV platform. And it has nothing to do with maximum horsepower, insane battery range, or how many tons of gravel you can tow. We are talking about a price tag.
According to massive breaking reports over at The Autopian and Car and Driver, a sharp-eyed tech fan was digging deep into the hidden metadata and background source code of a new car company's website. And what did they find? A buried line of code explicitly stating that the highly anticipated Slate electric pickup truck is going to launch with a starting price of $24,950!
Now, the company pulled that web page down faster than a speeding bullet, and they haven't officially confirmed the number. But the leak instantly exploded across every social media network and enthusiast forum on the planet.
And look at the sheer irony here! This isn’t a high-performance Ferrari. It isn’t a sleek new Corvette. This is a dead-simple, bare-bones electric pickup truck from a brand-new startup that hasn’t even delivered a single production vehicle to a retail customer yet! So why is the entire world losing its mind over a hidden piece of website code?
The answer reveals a massive, painful truth about the state of the modern car market. Before we look at the nuts and bolts of what you actually get for this money, let me ask you a very honest question. If you were shopping for a brand-new vehicle today, would you be more excited about a car because it has the latest self-driving AI technology, or simply because it’s one of the few vehicles on the market that you can actually afford? Think about that carefully, and share your answer in the comments section below!
Let’s look at the real automotive facts.
Why a $24,950 Price Tag Is a National Headline
A Potential $24,950 Slate EV Truck Price Leak Generated Enormous Interest Because Affordable Cars Are Becoming Rare
