Slate Auto: Everything you need to know about the Bezos-backed EV startup

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-08-04 15:00:00

In April 2025, a new company called Slate Auto came out of stealth and shocked the car industry. Not only was this startup focused on making an ultra-cheap, customizable electric pickup truck with funding from Jeff Bezos, but it had also been operating in secret for three years in Troy, Michigan — the backyard of major automakers like Ford and General Motors. TechCrunch was first to the story, reporting in early April about the company’s existence, its involvement with the Amazon founder, and i

Why this LA-based VC firm was an early investor in Slate Auto

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-08-09 15:00:00

Slate Auto, which came out of stealth mode earlier this year with a surprising – and surprisingly affordable – customizable electric truck, has raised $700 million to date. But long before the EV startup broke cover, it quietly raised a Series A round of more than $100 million in 2023. And while Jeff Bezos was involved in that round, as TechCrunch originally reported, he was not alone. A regulatory filing submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission shows as many as 16 investors were inv

is a deputy editor and Verge co-founder with a passion for human-centric cities, e-bikes, and life as a digital nomad. He’s been a tech journalist for 20 years. Slate Auto’s American-made electric pickup — the one with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen — is no longer priced “under $20,000.” The increase is a result of Trump’s “Big, beautiful bill,” which will end the federal EV tax credits on September 30th when signed into law later today. That sub-$20,000 price for the Indiana-built pi

Slate Auto drops ‘under $20,000’ pricing after Trump administration ends federal EV tax credit

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-08-14 14:47:52

Slate Auto, the electric vehicle startup backed by Jeff Bezos, has stopped promoting that its upcoming pickup truck will start “under $20,000” following passage of President Trump’s tax cut bill. The bill, which is expected to be signed into law by Trump on July 4, will cause the federal EV tax credit to end in September — a $7,500 incentive that Slate had counted on to help its all-electric pickup clear that mark. When Slate came out of stealth mode in April, the startup heavily promoted that

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-27 07:19:27

Matt Horne / Android Authority Timekettle’s AI Interpreter Earbuds aim to usher in a “new era of seamless global business interactions.” That’s a bold goal, but a device that can fluidly translate a two-way conversation in real time might just achieve it. We’ve put the device through its paces by running side-by-side comparisons to see how the Timekettle W4 Pro stacks up against Google Translate’s Conversation Mode, on its own and when paired with the Pixel Buds Pro 2.

Google Translate gets a strange new vibe in latest makeover

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-06-04 15:42:36

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing out a new effect for the Translate button in Google Lens. The Translate button has a bluish-purple ring that will pulsate when there’s text to translate. The change appears in the latest beta of the Google app. Google often likes to tinker with the UI of its products. So you may occasionally see something like a button moved to a different location, a new tab in a Google app, and so on. However, these tweaks don’t usually go against
