Scrolling through your feed, would you stop at a $24,950 electric truck? That’s exactly the buzz around Slate’s newly unveiled EV pickup. With average new vehicle prices soaring (from $30k to $36k in 5 years due to inflation), affordable new cars are rare. This no-frills truck from an unproven startup feels like fresh air for shoppers priced out. Some note Nissan Leaf offers similar range and more practicality for a bit extra. Would you rush to check a sub-$25k new car, or are you too burnt out to hope?
