Jeff Bezos' $25,000 EV Truck Has One Fatal Flaw • Jeff Jablansky | MotoMan Podcast 006

In this episode of the MotoManTV Podcast, we discuss the $25,000 EV Revolution: Slate Auto's Customizable EV Pickup.


Is this the electric pickup that finally makes EVs accessible for everyone? The Slate Auto is an ultra-minimal, $25,000 electric workhorse with a radical plan: let the owner decide what their truck should be.


In this special podcast episode, we dive deep with Jeff Jablansky of Slate into the philosophy and engineering behind the blank Slate. We discuss:

  • The Radical Price: Can the $25,000 EV Pickup win over buyers as the government incentives end?
  • Modularity & Customization: From a two-seat work truck to a full five-seat SUV, the Slate can transform. We explore the add-on kits, 3D-printed accessories, and DIY personalization.
  • The 'Anti-Tech' Approach: Why a minimalist interior with crank windows and no giant screen is a feature, not a bug.
  • Range & Specs: A look at the battery options, mileage, and utility.
  • The Jeff Bezos Connection: What does the Amazon founder's backing mean for this new EV startup?

Whether you're an EV skeptic, a truck enthusiast, or just looking for an affordable vehicle, the Slate Auto is a game-changer. Tune in!
