Can Bezos dethrone Musk with a cheap EV ute

15 min • 22 maj 2025

Elon Musk’s once firm grasp on the EV market seems to be crumbling as Tesla sales slump, so bring in Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

He’s investing in Slate, an auto start-up building a cheap bare-bones electric pick-up truck in the USA, called a ute in Australia.

It’ll be much cheaper than Musk’s controversial Tesla Cybertruck.

Today, Giles Parkinson, founder and editor of websites Renew Economy and The Driven gives us an update on the EV market in Australia and how Slate could be a game changer if it ever came here.
