Expected price now "Mid-Twenties" for Slate truck

Early days, lots of things could happen.
Obviously I don't know what Slate's battery contract says, but what-if EV sales tank. The battery company says we're sitting on all this production capacity and not making money. Fire sale! Lithium pouches are now $45/kWh! Move them!
Slate says "we can help you", send trucks to Warsaw. New price for big battery Slate is $24k.

from what I know ev battery’s are going down in price so far

Slate, or any startup for that matter, needs to build credibility with consumers. A sure way to lose it is to not honor their “mid-twenties“ advertised price.

We are not dealing with established automakers like Ford or Tesla who have burned us in the past with the Lightning or Cybertruck.

true trust worthy, reliability, and safety I think are the big 3

Just another dishonest clickbait title.

I don’t really see how it is dishonest. Slate was advertising under 20k. Now they’re not. Not their fault, but it’s true!

No, they advertised with the incentive caveat, which the headline conveniently leaves out to to alter meaning

Sure. The incentive was a positive, now it’s gone. We never called out anyone for a positive video about Slate where they called it the sub 20k electric truck. Even if they didn’t include the federal incentive asterisk in their title. I don’t think either one is particularly dishonest, by today’s standards.
