"Slate Auto is taking a radical approach to meet that price. It will be assembled from just 600 parts, a tenth the amount of normal pickup trucks."
"Each truck will be built at the company's Warsaw, Indiana, factory in the same blank configuration: two doors, manual windows, and no infotainment or touchscreens."
"People on the Internet for some time now have said they want to buy something uncomplicated and bare-bones, and Slate Auto is taking them at their word."
Slate Auto has raised $650 million in its latest funding round. The company aims to sell an electric pickup truck starting in the mid-$20,000s, significantly lower than competitors. Unlike other electric vehicle manufacturers, Slate's truck will be assembled from just 600 parts, utilizing plastic body panels and a simplified design. The trucks will be built in Warsaw, Indiana, with a focus on a bare-bones configuration, catering to consumer demand for uncomplicated vehicles.
