With out Bezo’s name recognition very, very few would have heard about Slate and their little pickup/SUV. That’s a level of advertisement that money simply can’t buy as a startup. We certainly wouldn’t be talking about them without Bezos’ name being attached to them. And they certainly wouldn’t have access to the investors and financial doors his name can easily open.
I would guess he’s thinking money. Design, production line, and legal are all going to be extremely expensive. Bezos is a name and face but if you replace his name with JP Morgan Chase, BNY Mellon , Blackrock, etc is there really that big of a difference. The large financial institutions have done far more for far longer to people all around the world
I really wish it wouldn’t benefit Lex Luthor. If it makes waves, hopefully other similar types of cars will come along by the time my civic needs to be replaced.
I thought it was further along that a pipe dream with the demos and videos I’ve seen. I think I’m cautiously optimistic until it officially comes out and I see reviews.
It has the modularity I like at a reasonable price… We’ll have to see if it can deliver.
Sounds a bit like the Slate truck to me.
Imagine Slate without Bezos
Would be so exciting
I have. Then I realize Slate doesn’t get a chance to change vehicular design without him.
Intriguing, care to say more?

Hey there we go, now I can be excited about their future… Nice
Yeah, has that gotten off the ground yet? Or is it still just investor stage pipe dream?
