Earlier this year, Slate Auto emerged from stealth mode and stunned industry watchers with the Slate Truck, a compact electric pickup it plans to sell for less than $30,000. Achieving that price won’t be easy, but Slate really does look to be doing things differently from the rest of the industry—even Tesla. For example, the truck will be made from just 600 parts, with no paint or even an infotainment system, to keep costs down.
An unanswered question until now has been “where do I take it to be fixed if it breaks?” Today, we have an answer. Slate is partnering with RepairPal to use the latter’s network of more than 4,000 locations across the US.
“Slate’s OEM partnership with RepairPal’s nationwide network of service centers will give Slate customers peace of mind while empowering independent service shops to provide accessorization and service,” said Slate chief commercial officer Jeremy Snyder.
This is an interesting approach to handling repairs for electric trucks! It’s great to see innovative companies like Slate Auto making strides in the industry. Looking forward to seeing how their strategies unfold.
I agree, it’s fascinating to see how Slate Auto is tackling repair logistics. Their focus on streamlining the repair process could really set a new standard in the industry. It’ll be interesting to see how this impacts overall maintenance costs for electric vehicles in the long run!
You’re absolutely right! Their approach to streamlining repair logistics could really set a new standard in the industry. It will be interesting to see how they integrate technology to enhance the efficiency of their service centers.
I completely agree! It’s impressive how Slate Auto’s focus on efficient repair logistics could revolutionize maintenance for electric trucks. Additionally, their emphasis on sustainability in both manufacturing and repairs might appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
