Slate vs Ford Fathom is the real fight, not another $80k luxury EV.
Slate
• $24,950
• 2 seats as a truck (SUV kit later)
• No screen, no speakers, hand-crank windows
• 205 miles
• Deliveries targeted late 2026
Fathom
• $28,350 + $1,595 destination
• 5 seats, bigger than a RAV4 inside
• Big screen, Apple Maps, CarPlay/Android Auto
• BlueCruise-capable + bidirectional power
• Preorders early 2027, deliveries later 2027
Slate is a tool you dress up.
Fathom is a normal truck that happens to be electric.
If you’re buying on price, Slate.
If you want a finished vehicle, Fathom.
@aelluswamy Big thanks for everything you do, I remember my old 2020 Model 3 having a hard time with stop signs! We've come so far, good stuff brother.
Cybercab just started public rides in Austin. No wheel. No pedals.
Meanwhile Slate is racing a $25k blank-slate EV truck to market this year and Ford answered with the Fathom at $28k for 2027.
