New electric Amazon Pickup Truck.

I like the way it looks.

Reminds me of the bronco sport.

MSRP is supposed to be under $25k for the base model.

If they could integrate the network of Amazon Warehouses into the sales and service of this thing they would have a massive dealer network from day 1. Plus help cut out a lot of overhead to keep prices low.

Looks like a cross between a Rivian and and Bronco Sport. Not horrible. I'm not a fan of an electric vehicle but it would probably work well for someone.

Interesting. Produced by Amazon? I didn't think they made anything.

Probably made for them. Jeff Bezos wants to get into the Tesla game. It has worked pretty well for Elon Musk...

Yea, it's not actually made by Amazon. It's a company called SLATE that is owned by the Amazon Guy.

Looks like a miniature Jeep Comanche.
With EV's there will be more small manufacturers since they don't have to worry about emissions testing.

When every existing gas station is also able to charge EV's let me know.....That's when I might buy one. Drive on......

They are still going to have to solve the charging time problem. Even with fast charging, it's going to take a significant amount of time and most gas stations are setup for people sitting around for a half hour or so waiting for their vehicle to charge.

The SUV version kinda looks like my 90 bronco II

If I could afford an ev I would jump on it. I drive about 75km a day to work. I can plug an RV into regular household outlet and be topped up well before the night is over. And there is an outlet at work i can use... Long trips may take more planning or just rent. I really don't see a need for fast charging in my situation. And I'll bet that 99% of the population in the suburbs would be the same scenario. Even rural I think it would work. Where it's tough is if you don't have easy access to an electrical outlet.

Reminds me more of a Ford Flex or one of those vehicles Hamsters drive in commercials.

Slate Truck is a $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen

Would you buy a truck this bare-bones?

No thank you please. Please, please, please.

That looks to be about the right size for a SxS body swap… I hope they sell a shit ton of them. The more they sell, the cheaper they’ll be in a few years when the battery goes bad.
