Slate: Introducing the Bezos-backed EV pickup for the masses
Yahoo Finance ^ | April 25th, 2025 | Pras Subramanian Senior Reporter

Posted on 04/25/2025 8:37:06 AM PDT by Mariner

“We built it, you make it.”

That’s the motto for Slate, a new American electric vehicle company, which just revealed its launch model and is backed by ex-Amazon (AMZN) executives, including, reportedly, Jeff Bezos’s family office

Slate said its EV pickup, a bare-bones truck with a footprint smaller than a Ford (F) Maverick, will cost somewhere in the mid-$20K range, and it will come in any color you want — as long as it’s slate gray, that is. The option-challenged vehicle offers a choice of two battery sizes for the rear-wheel-drive truck: a 52.7-kWh battery pack targeting 150 miles of range and an 84.3-kWh pack with 240 miles of range.

[[It was stupid because it was false and only posted because you want to insult anyone or anything associated with EVs regardless of the truth of your post]]

So, you’re not only Insulting but omniscient too? Don’t tell me why I posted it! I posted becsuse to me it looks awful- in NO WAY did i post it as a comment on anyone who likes ev’s- i happen to think that elon musk’s cybertrucks are horrid looking too, but ALSO many gas powered vehicles over the years IN MY OPINION look horrid as well- and that NOT a comment on people that like gas powered vehicles either

So your comme t that my somment was “stupid” is just an opinion of yours that doesn’t jive with reality, and ow you are assigning motives to my post I NEVER INTENDED! In addition!.

Again, why do you feel the need to insult people on fr? Do you have low self esteem or something? I note that you do it frequently.

[[It was stupid because it was false]]

THat is your opinion! Shall we call your opinion stupid because “it is false”? (Which is not a bright thing to say about someone’s opinion unless actually false- aperson stating that something looks horrible to them, or looks like it belongs to a certain class isn’t “false”- it is an opinion- why would you attempt to claim that “its false”? It absolutely does look like something a metrosexual would drive- if you don’t think som then that is your stated opinion- nothing more- I’m not here calling your opinions on fr “stupid” without warrant- why do you do it?

LOL! That may be your opinion but you state it as fact.

You can’t have it both ways.

[[You didn’t post that it looked awful to you.]]

No you are just introducing lies- nowhere did I state is as a fact- I simply stated an opinion. I’ll be sure to ping you thouhg if I ever say “ my opinion about such and such is a fact, a d all other opinions are false”

So i guess you aren’t gonna explain to freepers why you spend so much time insulting them on fr?

“I simply stated an opinion.”

No, you stated it as fact. That is a fact, not my opinion.

Here, lemme help,you

An opinion expresses someone’s feelings views or ideas about something or someone- whether factual or not-

A person does not have tO say something like “it is my opinion” when stating an opinion- “beer tastes good” is an opinion- and is not a statement of universal fact. one does not have to state “my opinion is that beer tastes good”- it is assumed that a person is giving their personal opinion and not a statement of fact, and therefor doesn’t need to state that the statement is their opinion. It is no more a “statement of fact” than what I stated, it is merely a person’s opinion- some people can’t stand the taste of beer- and will say “no it doesn’t”. neither OPINION is stated as a universal fact- both are stated as “feelings views or ideas” of the person making the statement about a subject.

And btw- you stated “no it doesn’t” - really? Have you proven that it doesn’t? No? Then how can you, using your logic or illogic as the case may be, make a “statement of fact” like that? You didn’t- you gave your —opinion— that it doesn’t scream that. But your opinion isn’t established fact nor would anyone conclude that it is even though you didn’t include “in my opinion, no it doesn’t “

“A person does not have tO say something like “it is my opinion” when stating an opinion- “beer tastes good” is an opinion-”

Stating “beer tastes good” is stating a fact.

Stating “beer tastes good to me” is an opinion.

“And btw- you stated “no it doesn’t” - really? Have you proven that it doesn’t? No? Then how can you, using your logic or illogic as the case may be, make a “statement of fact” like that?”

Because I reviewed the sent matter unlike you that posted falsely because you only wanted to slander.

Nope sorry my last post stands- An opinion expresses someone’s feelings views or ideas about something or someone- whether factual or not. Learn the difference before you go on a d on about it- look it up if you don’t beleive me

Lol. Slander! Good one! Still FALSELY assigning motives to me eh? You are the one assigning motives to me I never intended and making false statements about me. Cry me a river there spanky.

Also, your first sentence contained a lie- “you never miss” is not factual yet you “stated it as fact” (using your illogic)- infact I rarely if ever post “stupid things” on ev threads- i rarely if ever post to ev threads and certainly never do so to make sure that I “never miss an oportunity” to do so.

I note that not only are you lying in this issue, but you also have not addressed the question about why you feel the need to,insult people on fr as frequently as you do? Do you perhaps think that making up more lies hides that fact?
