What happened
A new report suggests that deliveries of the Slate truck could begin as soon as December.
The report indicates that the first wave of deliveries will not cover everyone who preordered the vehicle.
Only a select few customers are expected to receive their trucks during that initial timeframe.
Why it matters
If true, this points to a limited, staged rollout rather than a mass delivery event, which could help the company manage early production challenges.
The distinction between a handful of customers and all preorder holders suggests Slate may be prioritizing certain orders first, leaving many buyers waiting longer.
