Slate Auto Unveils Controversial $20K Retro Electric Truck

Slate Auto, backed by Jeff Bezos, has launched the Slate Truck, a retro-style electric vehicle starting under $20,000. Focused on accessible personalization, it lets users modify their trucks without hefty costs. The vehicle features two battery options, a manual interior, and aims for a 5-star safety rating. However, tax credit uncertainties and production challenges remain concerns. Slate aims for U.S. assembly, targeting availability by late 2026.
