Slate Auto to Sell EV Pickup via Carvana

Slate Auto, backed by Jeff Bezos, has a deal with Carvana to sell its electric pickup ahead of launch. The startup, which reported 100,000 reservations in two weeks, plans to release pricing and start preordering later this month. Carvana received shares in Slate Auto via a warrant last year. Slate Auto, based in Arizona, expanded into new car sales by buying Stellantis dealerships. The EV pickup starts under $30,000 and offers customization options.
