Slate Auto will start taking orders for its low-cost EV on June 24

Slate Auto, the electric vehicle startup backed by Jeff Bezos and LA Dodgers owner Mark Walter, has announced that it will officially start taking orders for its low-cost electric vehicle on June 24, ahead of the first deliveries late this year.

The company sent out emails to prospective buyers on Thursday that encouraged them to make a reservation now ahead of “preorders” starting next month, in order to get a “delivery window before non-reservers.”
