The Crayola Collection introduces the first collaboration for Slate's customizable electric truck through a selection of vinyl wraps inspired by Crayola colors. The collection applies recognizable crayon shades to the vehicle's exterior, allowing owners to personalize the truck without permanent paint changes. The initial lineup includes the retired Dandelion color alongside other classic hues, giving buyers additional factory-supported customization options while reinforcing Slate's modular approach to vehicle ownership.
The wraps install over the truck's body and can be replaced with different finishes as owners update the vehicle's appearance over time. The collection expands Slate's catalog of accessories designed to adapt the truck for different preferences and uses instead of limiting buyers to fixed trim levels. The collaboration also introduces a familiar consumer brand into the electric vehicle platform.
