Slate 的 2.5 万美元灰色卡车迎来“绘儿乐”色彩大变身

Slate Auto, the Bezos-backed carmaker building America’s cheapest electric truck, is teaming up with Crayola on five vehicle wraps. It is apparently the crayon company’s first-ever automotive partnership, yet it neatly fits Slate’s basic pitch: a gray, unpainted truck designed from the start to be wrapped rather than sprayed to keep costs down.

由贝索斯（Jeff Bezos）投资的汽车制造商 Slate 正在打造美国最便宜的电动卡车，该公司近日宣布与绘儿乐（Crayola）合作，推出了五款车身贴膜。这显然是这家蜡笔公司首次与汽车品牌达成合作，但它与 Slate 的核心理念不谋而合：这款卡车出厂时采用灰色、无喷漆设计，从设计之初就是为了通过贴膜而非喷漆来降低成本。

The five searingly bright colored wraps—Cerulean, Fern, Jersey Tomato, Razzmatazz, and Dandelion—are pulled from Crayola’s existing crayon lineup, meaning that, yes, prospective owners will have to spec that they want a hot-pink Razzmatazz Slate (WIRED’s pick).

这五款色彩鲜艳的贴膜——天蓝色（Cerulean）、蕨绿色（Fern）、泽西番茄红（Jersey Tomato）、狂欢粉（Razzmatazz）和蒲公英黄（Dandelion）——均取自绘儿乐现有的蜡笔色系。这意味着，未来的车主们真的可以选择一辆亮粉色的“狂欢粉”Slate 卡车（这也是《连线》杂志编辑的选择）。

Each comes as a starter pack with decals, complete with a color-coordinated key-fob cap and a clip-on dashboard accessory Slate calls a Slatelet. The packs will sell through Slate’s online marketplace, alongside the more than 200 other accessories the company offers.

每款贴膜都以入门套装的形式出售，内含车身贴纸、配套颜色的钥匙扣盖，以及一个 Slate 称为“Slatelet”的仪表盘夹式配件。这些套装将通过 Slate 的在线商城销售，与该公司提供的 200 多种其他配件一同上架。

The basic “blank” Slate truck starts at $24,950, a price that has made it the cheapest new truck on the US market. The EV ships with a single gray composite body, no touchscreen, and manual windows, all in service of hitting that low price point.

基础款“空白”Slate 卡车的起售价为 24,950 美元，这使其成为美国市场上最便宜的新款卡车。这款电动汽车出厂时采用单一的灰色复合材料车身，没有触摸屏，配备手动车窗，所有这些设计都是为了实现这一低廉的价格。

Wraps for the Slate have been part of the plan from day one, with standard wrap kits in over 100 hues starting at $500, and the company has said professional installation runs roughly the same. However, while this particular colorful makeover might evoke childhood memories, the price of the Crayola starter packs is certainly not pocket money. A Dandelion or Jersey Tomato transformation will set owners back $1,550—three times the cost of a standard Slate wrap—a meaningful jump considering the brand’s “affordable customization” pitch.

为 Slate 提供贴膜从第一天起就是计划的一部分，标准贴膜套件有 100 多种颜色可选，起价为 500 美元，公司表示专业安装费用也大致相同。然而，虽然这次色彩斑斓的改造可能会唤起童年回忆，但绘儿乐入门套装的价格绝非“零花钱”级别。选择蒲公英黄或泽西番茄红的改造方案需要花费 1,550 美元——是标准 Slate 贴膜成本的三倍。考虑到该品牌主打的“经济实惠的定制化”理念，这确实是一个不小的涨幅。

As we reported at the end of June, prospective buyers can preorder a Slate for $300 (or $250 for existing $50 reservation holders) and add the Crayola pack later, ahead of deliveries, which the company states are still on track to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, though most are expected to ship through 2027.

正如我们在 6 月底报道的那样，潜在买家可以支付 300 美元（已支付 50 美元预订金的用户只需 250 美元）预订 Slate 卡车，并可在交付前添加绘儿乐套装。公司表示，交付工作仍计划于 2026 年第四季度开始，尽管大部分车辆预计要到 2027 年才能交付。

The rear-wheel-drive, single-motor electric truck has a claimed 205-mile range and a 2,000-pound tow rating. Payload is 1,550 pounds, zero-to-60 mph is a sedate 8 seconds, and top speed is a modest 90 mph.

这款后轮驱动的单电机电动卡车声称续航里程为 205 英里，牵引能力为 2,000 磅。有效载荷为 1,550 磅，零百加速时间为平稳的 8 秒，最高时速为 90 英里/小时。

The Slate’s 65-kWh battery pack also explains how the truck reaches its rock-bottom price. It’s a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, a technology invented in the US but perfected in China, that’s cheaper than traditional nickel-manganese-cobalt batteries. Despite the cost-cutting, the Slate can charge at DC 120 kW, meaning it can go from 20 to 80 percent in just 30 minutes.

Slate 的 65-kWh 电池组也解释了该卡车如何实现如此低廉的价格。它采用的是磷酸铁锂电池组，这项技术由美国发明但在中国得到完善，比传统的镍锰钴电池更便宜。尽管削减了成本，但 Slate 支持 120 kW 直流快充，这意味着它可以在 30 分钟内将电量从 20% 充至 80%。
