The Car Crank Window Is Back! - LevelUP - 07-10-2026 Anyone who's followed my EV threads knows I'm pretty gung ho for EV technology. That being said, I think some EVs are more hype than practical for the average person. Jeff Bezos-backed Slate has revealed its new EV pickup with a starting price of $24,950, making it the cheapest new truck in America. The catch? Crank windows No back seat No speakers (There Ain't Nothing Wrong with the Radio, because there is no radio.) Apparently, Slate says it already has 180,000 preorders. https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/article/jeff-bezos-backed-slate-reveals-24950-starting-price-for-ev-pickup-making-it-the-cheapest-truck-in-america-120148545.html For comparison, the Ford Maverick XL, the current cheapest truck in America, starts at $27,145. For about $2,000 more, you can buy a real truck. If you had to choose between the Slate EV and the Ford Maverick XL, which one would you choose? RE: The Car Crank Window Is Back! - wow - 07-10-2026 I do love the idea of crank windows. I do not love the idea of no speakers.
