🎙️ “LIVE Interview with Slate’s CEO 🛻 Chris Barman’s EV Disruptor”

We brought a surprise guest to our LIVE TBOY show in Chicago: Chris Barman, CEO of the wildest (and newest) electric car brand.


Jeff Bezos invested, and Chris is leading it. Slate’s not just building the lowest-priced electric truck on the market ($25K), it’s also the craziest: No radio, no touchscreen, no tech whatsoever. We (jokingly) call it the “Amish-Inspired Electric Car.” And she built hype for the launch by creating a bunch of fake companies (true story).


So in today’s interview from our live Chicago show, Chris explains how it’s possible to build and sell a car for $25. She’ll tell us the craziest idea they *didn’t* launch, why they crash half their vehicles on purpose, and what she thinks of President Trump’s EV moves.
