Slate Auto Launches with Affordable, Customizable EVs

Slate Auto, a company receiving backing from Jeff Bezos, has officially emerged from stealth mode. Their approach centers on electric vehicles (EVs) designed without the complex, and often expensive, high-tech features commonly found in modern cars.

This strategy allows Slate Auto to target a considerably lower price point for its vehicles, making EVs more accessible to a wider range of consumers.

The Blank Slate Truck: A Focus on Customization

The company’s initial offering, the Blank Slate truck, takes a unique approach to vehicle aesthetics. Notably, it is delivered without any paint applied.

This deliberate choice empowers customers with complete control over the customization process. They can personalize their vehicle to their exact preferences and avoid paying for features or finishes they don’t require.

By eliminating unnecessary add-ons, Slate Auto aims to streamline production and reduce overall costs.
