We brought a surprise guest to our LIVE TBOY show in Chicago: Chris Barman, CEO of the wildest (and newest) electric car brand.
Jeff Bezos invested, and Chris is leading it. Slateās not just building the lowest-priced electric truck on the market ($25K), itās also the craziest: No radio, no touchscreen, no tech whatsoever. We (jokingly) call it the āAmish-Inspired Electric Car.ā And she built hype for the launch by creating a bunch of fake companies (true story).
So in todayās interview from our live Chicago show, Chris explains how itās possible to build and sell a car for $25. Sheāll tell us the craziest idea they *didnāt* launch, why they crash half their vehicles on purpose, and what she thinks of President Trumpās EV moves.
