I think it's cool how Slate Auto is trying to make EVs more accessible 
. $25k for a pickup truck is insane, but if people want it that bad, I guess they'll buy it 
. The thing is, though, what's the point of having all these reservations if the prices are gonna be hiked due to tariffs and taxes? It's like setting up a party without the invites 
. Ford's move to ditch the F-150's battery pack for a gas one is also a smart move, I guess. They're just trying to hedge their bets, you know? 
But honestly, who cares about all that drama? At the end of the day, it's all about getting from point A to point B without breaking the bank
. If Slate Auto can deliver on affordability and simplicity, they'll be golden 
. And if they can't, someone else will come along and fill the gap 
. The market is already shifting towards value over features, so I'm not surprised that manufacturers are responding with more basic models 
. Bring it on, I say!
