The Slate ships as a single-trim, rear-drive truck with one 205-mile LFP battery, 1,550 lb of payload, 2,000 lb of towing, and NACS fast charging up to 120 kW. There are no drive modes and no battery options — Slate consolidated everything into one configuration and lets you build up from there.

Powertrain and range
The Slate is a single rear motor, rear-wheel-drive truck — one powertrain, no dual-motor or AWD upgrade. Rated range is 205 miles on the single battery. There are no drive modes and one-pedal driving is the only mode, which keeps the vehicle mechanically simple and the price down.
This is a deliberately narrow spec. Slate's whole model is one truck that you personalize with accessories rather than a trim ladder, so the powertrain is a fixed baseline for every build.
Battery and charging
Every Slate ships with a single 205-mile LFP pack. LFP chemistry is the practical winner for a daily-driven truck: it tolerates charging to 100% every day without the degradation penalty that hits nickel-based chemistries, and it's backed by a 10-year / 110,000-mile battery warranty.
Charging is over the NACS connector at up to 120 kW on DC fast chargers, which puts the Tesla Supercharger network in reach without an adapter [VERIFY adapter/native NACS details against slate.auto]. Expect a 10–80% fast charge in [VERIFY] minutes.
Capability: payload, towing, and turning
The two numbers that shape every build are 1,550 lb of payload and 2,000 lb of towing. Payload is the one to watch — passengers, a bed rack, a storage system, a spare, and cargo all draw from the same 1,550 lb. Our build calculator tracks that budget live as you add accessories so you don't discover the ceiling in the driveway.
A 37-foot turning radius keeps the truck manageable in tight lots and trails despite the bed.
Dimensions and the bed
The bed is 5 feet long with T-rails and factory bolt points designed for accessories from day one [VERIFY exact bed and vehicle dimensions against slate.auto]. That accessory-first bed design is what makes storage systems like the BuiltRight MOLLE panel bolt on with hand tools instead of fighting the geometry.
What's fixed, and what you build
Because the drivetrain, battery, and trim are fixed, the interesting decisions are all downstream: wraps, racks, storage, wheels, and the SUV conversion. For price and timeline, see how to order; for the full accessory landscape, start with the mods guide.
