  The Slate truck is simple for YOU. It doesn’t have lots of bells and whistles, but is still and electric vehicle that runs on computers. I haven’t heard if it has a remote connection yet, but I bet it does. Also, Jeff Bezos is an investor and I am pretty sure it is not some new altruistic streak for Amazon to launch a consumer product that they can’t monetize forever.

    Slate will have no OTA capabilities. How they will monatize forever is by selling parts to users and educating them how to service themselves.

    You have to do your own updates over USB.

    My guy, the motor type matters not one iota to those trying to make money off your data.

    Gas, diesel, all manner of hybrids, and EVs all track the ever loving crap out of you (by default, and often not on a defeatable level.)
