Slate Auto, a startup supported by Jeff Bezos, has officially launched its new electric pickup truck, priced under $20,000, aiming to capture the market with a no-frills design. The Slate Truck, which is customizable and manufactured in America, features a straightforward concept with minimal amenities like manual windows and no touchscreen. This bare-bones approach challenges the high-tech offerings from competitors like Tesla. With plans to also introduce a transformable SUV variant, Slate Auto positions itself as a major contender in the electric vehicle sector, promising an accessible option for budget-conscious consumers. Preorders have begun for this revolutionary vehicle, further igniting interest in its potential to disrupt traditional truck markets.
