The Slate Auto truck is set to make waves this summer, with its only scheduled appearance confirmed for the Monterey Motorsports Festival on August 16. This exciting event, held at the Monterey Fairgrounds, promises a celebration of automotive passion with an eclectic mix of hypercars, muscle cars, race machines, overlanders, JDM icons, and the newest EVs.
Slate Auto Truck Takes the Stage
The Slate Auto truck has been called a gamechanger for its radically simple manufacturing and ownership model. Designed with affordability in mind, it offers a flexible architecture that lets buyers skip unnecessary features and focus on what they truly want.
Versatile Design and Customization
One of the most unique aspects of the Slate Auto truck is its ability to transform. Owners can reconfigure the body style from a pickup into an SUV using accessory kits like the Fastback, Squareback, and Open Air options. At Monterey, the display model will feature the Squareback SUV kit, turning the two-seat pickup into a five-seat SUV.
Made in America for Modern Needs
Proudly manufactured in the United States, the Slate Auto truck blends practicality with innovation. With its modular approach, it gives drivers the freedom to adapt their vehicle to changing lifestyles without replacing the entire vehicle.
More Than Just the Slate Auto Truck
While the Slate Auto truck will be a highlight, the Monterey Motorsports Festival has much more to offer. Expect to see New Zealand drift legend Mad Mike with his 1000hp MADMAC McLaren P1, the U.S. debut of the Giugiaro-designed Peralta S, and James Kirkham’s impressive Unimog transporter.
Festival Atmosphere and Entertainment
This automotive showcase also delivers a strong festival vibe. Platinum-selling DJ Dillon Francis will headline the Arena, supported by four live bands performing throughout the evening. Food, drink, and a vibrant social scene will round out the experience.
Ticket Information
The festival runs from 5-11PM on August 16, with tickets starting at $129 for adults. Junior tickets are available for $69, while children under 12 get in free. Visitors can also opt for the $229 Vino & Vibes package, which adds exclusive winery access and curated tastings.
Summary
The Monterey Motorsports Festival offers a unique opportunity to see the Slate Auto truck in person. Its versatile design, American craftsmanship, and future-focused approach make it one of the most intriguing vehicles on display this year.
