⚡️ Slate Auto debuts ultra-customizable, low-cost EV to challenge Tesla's dominance

⚙️ What they’ve built:
• Unveiled a modular EV pickup called Blank Slate, starting under $20,000 post-tax credit
• Manual windows, no default infotainment screen, and no paint - fully customizable design
• Offers two battery options: 150 miles or 240 miles range
• 150kW rear motor, small size compared to rivals, and basic federally mandated safety features

❓How they’re changing the game:
• Over 100 accessories at launch, letting owners transform the vehicle from pickup to SUV
• DIY kits, wraps, and accessories via “Slate University” for non-gearheads
• Focus on cutting production costs by eliminating paint shops and embracing personalization
• Building factory in Indiana, focusing on domestic production and low overhead

🚀 Why it matters:
• Targets a severely underserved low-cost EV segment
• Reverses the usual “high-end luxury EV first” approach seen with Rivian, Lucid, Fisker
• Bezos and other heavyweight backers provide financial firepower for scaling
• Could redefine how Americans think about EV ownership — affordable, modular, personal

In a market drowning in $70K EVs, Slate Auto is betting that cheap, customizable, and proudly analog is the real future of electric vehicles.

⏬ Is shorting in a bull market really a bad idea?

Most coins you long have low odds of ever printing big multiples.

But shorting vertical pumps?
It’s becoming one of the highest-probability trades this cycle.

Especially when:
• Coins fly into obvious supply zones
• Sentiment flips ultra-bullish on weak fundamentals
• Market structure remains fragile

Fresh examples:
$SUI, #FARTCOIN, $SOL — setups where shorting might not be "catching a falling knife," but a calculated play.

The market changed.
