CEO of Jeff Bezos-backed EV startup explains how it'll make the affordable $25,000 pickup no one else can
With the average cost of a new car edging toward the $50,000 mark, affordable, basic transportation is becoming increasingly difficult for many Americans.

Slate, a new EV startup backed by Jeff Bezos, believes its new $25,000 pickup truck, which could cost less than $20,000 with tax credits, could help change that, its CEO, Chris Barman, told Business Insider.

"There's a massive population of people out there when it comes to safe, reliable, affordable transportation; there just really aren't many alternatives for them," Barman said in an interview ahead of the unveiling of the new EV this week.

A $25,000 price point would mean achieving something the current EV sales king, Tesla, has been unable to do. Elon Musk has long teased consumers with the prospect of a $25,000 Tesla model, but there's no firm timeline for its release.

That look like a barebone tiny tonka truck... Not worth the $25K and more like $15K.
It remind me of that Isuza sidekick.

I think a lot of the new cars now are overpriced due to corporate greed.

I brought up the Cybertruck because it's initial price is much lower:

When the Tesla Cybertruck was first revealed in 2019, the initial price point was set at $39,990 for the base model. According to an article on Yahoo Finance, the Cybertruck was originally slated to start at $39,990, according to another article on Autoweek, and an article on Quora also mentioned this initial price. However, the current price has increased significantly, with the base model now starting around $60,990.
