Slate Auto: Inside the EV startup, stealth production facility backed
by Jeff Bezos
In a nondescript supplier park in suburban Detroit, an electric
vehicle startup backed by Amazon
founder Jeff Bezos is building what it hopes will be America's newest
automaker.
The facility is filled with dozens of prototypes, crash-tested
vehicles, a crude lab vehicle skeleton adorned with wires and, most
importantly, a busy "beta" assembly line that has been building
electric vehicles since December for the startup, Slate Auto.

I hope it works out well for them. The US really needs a small basic truck like this. It's being advertised as all electric, but basic with manual roll up windows and no radio.
I hate to say, but if they made a 4 cylinder 5 speed version, I bet it would fly off the showroom floors for the advertised $20k price tag.
