Slate’s electric pickup is no longer ‘under $20,000’ — thanks, Trump
This price of less than $ 20,000 for the pick-up built by Indiana was a large sale argument for the startup EV supported by Jeff Bezos, and was only possible after having applied the tax credit of $ 7,500 to retail. Price promotion has been rubbed with the Ardoise Auto site as recently as yesterday, according to Techcrunch. The website now displays an expected “middle of the twenty” price.
Slate less than $ 20,000 price for a vehicle that it will not start to deliver before the end of 2026 was always accompanied by an asterisk, with small characters highlighting the federal incentives which were “subject to change”. And the change was certainly expected: Trump has greatly campaigned on the promise to end the fictitious “WE” of President Biden, because electric cars are intended for socialists in the world of Maga.
The adoption by Trump of oil and gas, while simultaneously marrying the incentives intended to stimulate the adoption of electric vehicles and clean energy, is a gift for Chinese manufacturers of electric cars, solar panels and batteries. The United States is now underway to own the past while China is firmly positioned to dominate the future.
