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.

A new era is on the way for Apple as Tim Cook plans to step down from his CEO role in September, handing the reins to hardware chief John Ternus.

Ternus may be inheriting one of the most durable businesses in tech, but he’s also stepping into a very different ecosystem than the one Cook spent decades shaping. The App Store’s 30% cut is under pressure, the behind-the-scenes power Apple once held over developers is being challenged, and vibe-coded apps are changing what it means to build on Apple’s platform.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into what this transition means for startups and a closer look at some of the week’s biggest deals — including SpaceX’s $60B option on Cursor.

Chapters:

00:00 Intro

00:26 Anthropic’s Mythos accessed by “unauthorized groups”

04:28 Is Amazon’s $5B Anthropic investment just another circular deal?

09:53 SpaceX and Cursor’s $60B option

18:25 Is this finally the year of the IPO?

21:38 SpaceX, Revolut, and Cerebras: the IPOs to watch

26:41 Tim Cook’s retirement plans

29:15 What a new Apple CEO means for startups and the App Store

35:59 Outro
