What bad timing for Slate... this is frustrating! Meanwhile fossil fuel subsidies ($646 billion annually) remains. :headbang:
Hopefully a few senators defect and vote this down.

Didn't notice this until now, but great to see that sound bars will be easy to install / mount on the Slate truck dashboard. There's already a factory rail / clip for it.

The dash comes prewired with multiple USB-C ports, numerous lidded cubbies, and a rail...
Yea these are guys who know what they're doing when it comes to business investments. To me, the billion raised in second funding round further legitimizes the Slate Auto's product and business plan.

Just added this part from the Tech Crunch article about the Series B funding:
The Delaware paperwork also lists [Mark] Walter and [Thomas] Tull as new board members, suggesting the two invested in Slate’s Series B round. The two recently formed a $40 billion holding company to make investments...
Update/Correction (May 8, 2025)
Slate Auto confirmed today that it has $700 million in investments through Series A and Series B funding. So it's not quite 1 billion yet, but still well funded at its current stage.

Man, how can you not be anything but excited about Slate Auto and the Slate Truck after hearing this interview. Q4 2026 - Q1 2027 can't come soon enough...
Looking forward to Sandy Munro's walk through of Slate's engineering facilities next week!
Here's for all the tall future Slate owners - a 6'10" journalist from Motortrend reviews and sits in the driver's seat and rear seat of the Slate truck.
