Massive Market Response to Affordable Custom EVs
Slate, the EV startup backed by Jeff Bezos and Y Combinator, has officially crossed 100,000 reservations for its modular electric pickup. That’s a major milestone for a company positioning itself not just as an automaker, but as a customizable mobility platform. With a sub-$20,000 price (after federal credits), a minimalist design, and open customization potential, Slate is resonating with a wide range of buyers.
The pre-order numbers send a clear signal: the market is ready for an EV that doesn’t feel locked down. Consumers are hungry for electric vehicles that are both accessible and expressive—and Slate is stepping up to fill that gap.

Designed to Be Personalized
What sets Slate apart isn’t just the price—it’s the platform. Owners can choose between a two-seat pickup or convert it into a five-seat SUV using a factory-supported DIY kit. Want to add a roof rack, graphics kit, rear shell, or change your wheels? Over 100 modular accessories are already part of the product roadmap.
