Starter Packs are Slate's pre-configured build presets — 33 named packs grouped into 6 themes, each a complete vehicle with wrap, wheels, lighting and interior already chosen. They are a shortcut through the configurator, not a discount. Slate publishes prices for the 10 Wallet-Friendly packs, from $25,549.96 (Over Easy) to $31,004.90 (Concrete Camo); the other 23 packs have no published price yet.
What are Slate Starter Packs?
Pre-configured complete builds — a named preset with the wrap, wheels, lighting, interior and decals already chosen, sold as a whole vehicle. They are Slate’s answer to a real problem: a configurator with 209 accessories and three body styles is paralysing if you don’t already know what you want.
In Slate’s August 2026 store restructure, Starter Packs moved to the front of Build & Shop alongside Exterior, Interior, Merch and Collabs. That placement matters — packs are now a primary entry point into buying a Slate, not a side menu.
What they are not, as far as anyone can currently tell, is a discount. Slate doesn’t advertise pack savings, and there is no published component list per pack to check the arithmetic against. We’d rather say that plainly than imply a bargain that may not exist.
How many Starter Packs are there?
33 distinct packs, grouped into 6 themes. The themes contain 48 slots between them, because twelve packs appear in more than one theme — The Ice House, Cali Sunset and Surf Break each show up three times.
| Theme | Packs listed | Prices published |
|---|---|---|
| Wallet-Friendly | 10 | Yes — all 10 |
| Built for Fun | 10 | No |
| Keep it Sharp | 7 | No |
| Turned Up | 9 | No |
| Weather-Ready | 8 | No |
| Work-Ready | 4 | No |

Slate Starter Pack prices
Slate publishes prices for the Wallet-Friendly theme only. The carousel for the other five themes lazy-loads without showing price, so as of our August 10, 2026 capture these ten are the complete set of published pack prices.
Sorted cheapest first, with the difference from the $24,950 Blank Slate base truck:
| Pack | Price | Over base truck |
|---|---|---|
| Over Easy | $25,549.96 | +$599.96 |
| Baja Blaze | $25,569.94 | +$619.94 |
| Laser Tag | $25,654.90 | +$704.90 |
| Third Eye | $25,954.93 | +$1,004.93 |
| All Green Flags | $25,989.93 | +$1,039.93 |
| Rally Point | $26,259.88 | +$1,309.88 |
| Base Camp | $26,774.88 | +$1,824.88 |
| Fresh Kicks | $27,184.86 | +$2,234.86 |
| Lucky Streak | $28,354.88 | +$3,404.88 |
| Concrete Camo | $31,004.90 | +$6,054.90 |
Read that third column carefully. It’s the useful number — what the pack’s content actually costs — but it only holds if the pack is built on the Blank Slate body. A pack configured on a Squareback or Fastback starts from $29,950 or $31,950 instead, and the accessory content would be correspondingly smaller. Slate doesn’t state which body each pack uses. Concrete Camo at $31,004.90 is the one to be suspicious of: that could be $6,054.90 of accessories on a truck, or roughly $1,055 of accessories on a Fastback.

The “asterisked” pricing in Slate’s own carousel points the same way — these are vehicle totals with conditions attached, not accessory bundles.

Which packs appear in more than one theme
Twelve of the 33 packs are cross-listed, which tells you the themes are marketing lenses rather than mutually exclusive categories. If a pack works for both weather and work, Slate files it under both.

What’s in a pack?
Each pack selects across the same set of decision points Slate’s configurator exposes: body style, wrap, wheels, lighting, interior, audio and tech, decals, and dashboard flags. Which specific items each pack picks is on the individual pack detail pages, which we haven’t captured yet.
That’s an honest gap rather than an omission, and it’s the next thing we’re going after. When we have per-pack itemisation, two things become answerable that aren’t today: whether a pack costs the same as its parts bought individually, and which body style each pack is built on. Both are currently inference.
Should you buy a Starter Pack?
If you want a shortcut through a large configurator, yes. If you’re optimising cost, price the parts yourself.
The case for a pack is genuine. Choosing a wrap, a wheel set, a lighting package and an interior from a 209-item catalog is a lot of decisions, and somebody at Slate has already made a coherent set of them. A pack lands you a truck that looks designed rather than accumulated.
The case against is the one this site keeps making: you can’t evaluate a bundle you can’t itemise. Until per-pack contents are published, you’re buying a name and a photograph. And there is no advertised discount to offset that, which means the convenience is the entire value proposition — reasonable, but worth knowing you’re paying for convenience rather than saving money.
The middle path, and the one we’d actually recommend: find a pack you like, then use the accessory price database to price the components you can identify from it. If the numbers line up, take the pack. If you only wanted three of the eight things in it, build your own — and see order now or add later for what genuinely needs to be on the original order.
