A new electric truck is being developed by Slate, a company backed by Jeff Bezos, with a planned price point under $30,000 and possibly under $20,000, although the final cost is uncertain. The truck is described as bare-bones, with features such as crank windows and no paint, and possibly optional extras like a stereo. The company has reportedly received a significant number of reservations for the vehicle, but its launch and pricing may be affected by various factors.
