Slate Auto launches $24,950 electric pickup — stripped-down, profitable from day one
CNBC—Slate Auto has debuted a bare-bones electric pickup truck priced at $24,950, targeting buyers who want affordable EV capability without premium features. The company says each truck will be profitable at that price, and it aims to reach cash-flow breakeven within the next year. The design philosophy deliberately strips out extras to deliver a practical, workhorse-style EV at a price point most mass-market rivals can't match.
