In just one week he went from rumor to reality and we already have a date for his official presentation: he will be announced on April 24.
Jeff BezosOwner Amazon wants to enter the world of cars. The CEO secretly brought the adventure in the car sector, but in recent days, the rabbit jumped and took place a series of events that ended by bringing light How will your first model be.
It is Techcrunch’s merit to have given the first indication. On April 8, he published a news in which he took off how the process was, quite secret, for which Bezos invested money in a start-up with the idea of creating an electric car.
It would be the brand Automatic slateUnknown to many and that, in reality, it derives from Re: Build Manufacturing, another Bezos company operating since 2022. The CEO would have been part of the first round of financing, made in 2023 and in which 111 million dollars were collected, and recently it would have been made for a second.
In these almost three years, a fairly wide team, including workers with previous car sector, would have been formed, which would have been sufficient to greatly advance the development of the first vehicle.
The details about this were very rare. According to sources, it would be a Fully electric carin format of Pick-upwith a starting price alone $ 25,000 And there would be intended to start producing it in 2026.
If the filtered road was correct, it seemed to have news about him in the coming months, but things were in a hurry more than to wait.
Just a few days after the news appeared, a Reddit user shared the image below asking what car is, since I didn’t know him:
The thread answers indicated in very different directions. Someone stressed that it looked like a Ford Bronco Sport But with a loading box, something that does not exist officially; Another emphasized that it could be a conversion based on a Land Rover … but you didn’t need to wait until someone emphasized that it could be Bezos’s car.
Participating in the few data who gave themselves, I am square. It was a truck with a simple cabin format and compact dimensions that could make it square with the mentioned budget. In addition, although it cannot be seen whether or not it escaped, the clean and minimalist design, if we were in accordance with the usual battery models.
It would be Techcrunch that, quickly, would confirm that, in fact, it was the car model. They were able to talk to a source that was plunged into the vehicle design and acknowledged that it can be one of the conceptual units that the company used to learn potential investors.
With all the agitated Hornet, yesterday, April 15, 2025, an “X” publication appeared in “X”, which announced an exclusivity: “A new American electric vehicle company is approaching. The new slate manufacturer shares the first public photos of its next electric vehicle, camouflaged with Newsweek camouflage.”
In it you can see the following video as an advance:
Although only small details are seen, having the image of Hunted as a reference, by joining them, it was clear that we were before the same car.
He would also accompany him with a short article that, more than anything, was a statement of intentions / advertising campaign itself.
Mass -Media wrote that “slate is preparing to revolutionize the new car market with a radically simple solution for the accessible and common machine.”
And also, “founded under the principle of redefining profitable transport, Slate intends to reach Tesla with a compact and economic electric vehicle for the common citizen. This means that customers have a higher purchasing power than when buying a new vehicle in a traditional dealer.”
Finally he stressed that we will not have to wait a long time to get out of doubt because the official presentation will take place the next day April 24In which we hope that official data will be given, starting with a name that is not known and, hopefully, technical details about its propulsion system, as well as practical information for a vehicle of its characteristics, such as towing and loading capacity.
