Slate Auto unveils its US-made barebones electric pickup costing just $20,000
A company backed by Jeff Bezos, Slate Automotive, just came out of stealth mode to unveil its first EV, and it's incredibly interesting.
For the entry-level model (the "Blank Slate"), you get two seats, a bed large enough to hold a sheet of plywood, plastic composite body panels and any paint color you like, as long as it's grey. There are a number of exterior options, like a spare tire carrier, rear and front bumper upgrades, fender flares, running boards, a lift kit and tower rack lighting. In its video, the company points out that it took out everything "that wasn't a car" like "a fancy screen, colored lighting, cooled seats, self driving, self parking and automated cup holders."
