Slate Auto's $25,000 Electric Pickup: Bare-Bones but Affordable

The Slate Auto electric pickup truck is priced at $25,000, making it one of the most affordable EVs in its class thanks to a deliberately stripped-down design with no touchscreens or advanced driver aids. It enters a highly competitive electric pickup market already dominated by the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1T. Hands-on impressions confirm the vehicle's radically minimalist approach.
