Slate Auto, a Michigan-based startup backed by investors reportedly including Jeff Bezos, has officially unveiled the Slate Truck — a two-seat electric pickup with a base MSRP of $27,500. The $7,500 federal EV tax credit that would have pushed that number below $20,000 no longer exists: Congress eliminated it via the Big Beautiful Bill, effective…
