Slate driving in Factory

Where Slate is Made

We’re proud to be an American automaker, designing, engineering, and manufacturing vehicles right here. Each part of our process is centered in locations chosen for their expertise and heritage in automotive innovation. Our people are located across the country, from Washington State to Florida, drawing talent and inspiration from anywhere and bringing local insights to everything we do.

Design: Michigan & California

Our teams split their focus between Michigan and California, two powerhouses of automotive creativity.

  • Michigan: With its legacy in automotive design, Michigan brings deep industry knowledge and a tradition of practical, user-centered vehicle design.
  • California: Known for pushing boundaries in style, technology, and sustainability, California contributes a modern, forward-thinking edge.


Together, these perspectives balance timeless utility with contemporary design language.

Engineering: Michigan

The engineering core is based in Michigan, where advanced testing, safety systems, and performance development take place. This region’s long-standing role in automotive engineering provides:

  • Access to world-class facilities.
  • Partnerships with leading engineers and suppliers.
  • A culture that values durability, safety, and innovation.


Manufacturing: Warsaw, Indiana

Slate vehicles are manufactured in Warsaw, Indiana, a community with deep roots in American industry and craftsmanship. This location allows us to:

  • Tap into a skilled regional workforce.
  • Keep manufacturing close to home, reducing supply chain complexity.
  • Maintain high quality standards through direct oversight.


By anchoring production in Indiana, we’re realizing our vision of creating jobs and crafting long-lasting vehicles on U.S. soil.

WHY THIS MATTERS


By combining design and engineering leadership in Michigan and California with manufacturing in Indiana, we’re keeping the entire process American-based, tightly integrated, and driven by quality. This holistic approach results in vehicles that aren’t just assembled here, but thoughtfully imagined, engineered, and crafted in the USA.
