Earlier this week, the Jeff Bezos-backed company unveiled the Slate Truck—a bare-bones EV pickup with a purported base price of around $20,000 to $25,000. The Slate Truck base models lack a stereo, infotainment system, power windows, and other now-standard accessories. The base truck will include a 57.2 kWh battery pack with rear-wheel drive and a 150-mile target range. The Slate Truck lacks an infotainment system, and instead relies on a smartphone hookup. Slate vows much of the manufacturing will take place in a “reindustrialized” Midwest factory that Ars Technica suspects will be located in Troy, Michigan.
