Slate Auto is making affordable, fully customizable EVs for $25,000

Jeff Bezos-backed Slate Auto has come out of stealth, with EVs built without all the high tech bells and whistles. The Blank Slate truck doesn’t even come with paint which allows customers to fully customize their ride and skip and costly add-ons that they don’t need.

      You know that ev credit isn’t free right? You just pay more taxes elsewhere to compensate for it

      Well it was “under 20k” and now it’s “mid 20’s, price subject to change, plus fees”. So they lost the $7500 tax credit meaning that “mid” 20k price is likely going to be $27k or a bit more, as long as it doesn’t have any more price creep.
