## Slate Auto Confirms Indiana Location for $20,000 Electric Truck Production

Slate Auto, the company making waves with its promise of an ultra-affordable $20,000 electric truck, has officially announced where it will be manufacturing its groundbreaking vehicle. Following a week of intense internet speculation and a *TechCrunch* report hinting at an Indiana location, Slate Auto has confirmed it will be retrofitting a massive 1.4 million square foot factory in Warsaw, Indiana.

The company plans to eventually reach a production capacity of 150,000 Trucks annually at the Warsaw facility. This announcement marks a significant step forward for Slate Auto, which only recently emerged from stealth mode and generated considerable buzz around its radically simplified EV.

The Slate Truck aims to be a “minimum viable car,” achieving its low price point through strategic compromises. It boasts a range of 150 miles and foregoes features like a touchscreen, radio, power windows, and even paint. This minimalist approach not only reduces costs but also enables a uniquely streamlined production process.

As the company prepares to begin production next year, the success of the Slate Truck will likely depend on the continuation of federal EV incentives. However, the company’s commitment to affordable electric mobility and its innovative approach to manufacturing make it a compelling player in the evolving EV landscape.
