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. Slateâs not just building the lowest-priced electric truck on the market ($25K), itâs also the craziest: No radio, no touchscreen, no tech whatsoever. We (jokingly) call it the âAmish-Inspired Electric Car.â And she built hype for the launch by creating a bunch of fake companies (true story).
So in todayâs interview from our live Chicago show, Chris explains how itâs possible to build and sell a car for $25. Sheâll tell us the craziest idea they *didnât* launch, why they crash half their vehicles on purpose, and what she thinks of President Trumpâs EV moves.
