Buzzy New EV Startup Slate Auto has collected more than 100,000 reservations for its customized low -cost electric pickup trucks, confirmed to the company TechCrunch.
The slate milestone crossed the slate milestone just two weeks after the truck was unveiled at an event in Los Angeles, California. The agency says the truck will start below $ 20,000 after the $ 7,500 Federal EV tax is applied and plans to create a vehicle at a former printing plant in Indiana Wars, as TechCranch first said.
“We are truly humble by the reaction of the slate brand launch and the introduction of our truck,” Jeremy Snyder, Chief Commercial Officer Jeremy Snyder TechCrunch, Slate said. “We are excited for what is in the future.”
There is a sign of how much the truck has been interested in the slate that is raised in the reservation so soon, but there is no guarantee that these storage will translate the sale. The company is just asking potential buyers to order the truck to order their place to be reduced to $ 50 to save the line; The fee is refundable.
Many other EV startups have only emphasized the saving for failing to live according to the expectations of such a large, round number. Fiscar filed for bankruptcy, which once more than 60.5 reservations, but only a few thousand Ocean SUVs sell SUV. Lordstown Motors, was already Charge Investors by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to confuse the number of “preperders” for their own electric pickup truck. (Lordstown Motors filed for bankruptcy alike and finally fixed with seconds)
There is a big goal for the slate truck, which – for currently the priceless price – can also be converted to an SUV. The company has said that the Indiana factory will have the ability to make about one and a half thousand cars at the end of 20227. And it has big supporters to try to reach that goal, including Jeff Bezos (through his family office, Bezos Expedition), Googenheim Partners CEO Mark Walter and VC Farm General Catalist.
