Promising review:"I bought this for my cellphone. It comes with a magnet to attach to my cellphone, and then I attach the other magnet to the dash of my car air vent. After I make a call, I attach my cellphone to the magnet and can talk hands-free. My voice is heard clearly by the recipient of my call. I love it." — Arlene Berge

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Most awesome thing I bought all year! I have a small sports car, no cup holders. This thing looks awesome, is well-made, and is sturdy! It's everything I needed, and it looks fantastic in my car, even though I have a dark blue leather interior. Fabulous find!" — 2019

3. Plus, a car cup–holder extender for those who have the extra large Hydroflask or the yeti-sized Yeti bottle and refuse to buy the versions that fit in the regular cup holders.

Swigzy is a small business that specializes in drinkware and accessories.
Promising review: "Fits great in my F-150. I've been manually holding my Yeti for years, oftentimes picking my water bottle off the floor after it slides off my passenger seat. Slide no more. This thing works great. Feels sturdy. Holds all of my oversized cups. Highly recommend." — Bryan
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in two colors and four styles).
4. A retractable car charger if your long-as-heck charging cables are getting on your nerves and creating a tumbleweed-like mess near your cupholders and shifting gear. This comes with a lightning cable, USB-C cable, *and* two other charging ports, so you and your passengers can all charge at once.
Amazon
Promising review: "Didn't realize I had so many cables in my car until I put this in. Now I just keep a few wrapped up in the glove box that fit older connections. Great that the cables retract out of the way. Only complaint could be that it is rather large, but it is to be expected with four connections. Little car voltage display is nice to have as well (everyone should have one of these, by the voltage amount it shows if your alternator is working)." — Jaxmoto
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.
5. A Saucemoto dip clip that clips onto your air vent and lets you enjoy those nugs and fries without fear of spilling bright yellow Chik-fil-A sauce on your fave heather grey sweatpants.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Saucemoto is a small business established in 2018 that specializes in unique car accessories.
Promising review:"How did I go so long without one of these??? The Saucemoto was my first 'TikTok Made Me Buy It' purchase and I have no regrets. It clips easily to my car's vent and the sauce cups clip in easily so I can dip and drive. No more trying not to dump the sauce by accident while steering with the same hand that's holding the dip cup. It even comes with a dip cup for those places that do the pouches for their sauces rather than the cups. (I'm looking at you, Arby's.)" — Pleasure Pamela
Get set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors and larger multipacks).
6. And, a handy car steering wheel tray so you can do your obligatory McDonald's stop and enjoy your food without doing a balancing act on your lap. It's sturdy enough to hold a laptop if you need to send a quick email during your stop when you're "working from home," but really on the road. 😉
Promising review: "I oftentimes like to enjoy my lunch at work in my car. I just like having my own personal space, but I'm always dropping my food on the seats and floor of my car. This product is super nifty, and I am guilty of discovering it via TikTok, of course, but it's great!" — Bella W
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in 19 colors).
7. A portable car vacuum that sucks the way that a vacuum *should* suck up all the dirt, crumbs, and hair that accumulate at the bottom of your car and in between the seats. It even comes with three different attachments for the different interiors of your car!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This was the perfect solution for a busy mom like me. I have three little ones, and every day, there is a mess of some sort in the backseat. It saves time and money to not have to go to a carwash place and keep feeding the machine. It's simple to use and a great size. Wish the suction was a little better, but for the price and quality, I can't complain. It's a must!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four styles).
8. A lil' car mirror swinging duck accessory to remind you that you're just a silly lil' goose if you accidentally get a bit too close to the curb when parallel parking. Plus, it'll make you smile every time you get in the car at 7:30 a.m. (😣) for work.
Promising review:"Saw it one day when I was just browsing. That's usually dangerous, I know. It's actually heavier than I thought it was going to be, in a good way though. It's not cheaply made. I've gotten a few laughs from people in other vehicles. Only side effect is if you get upset at other drivers, it isn't very intimidating when you're giving the mad stare. LOL. I was pleased with the purchase in all." — Charles Ramsey
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
9. A memory foam cushion since driving for hours does a lot for your booty, and not in a good way. This provides extra support to help your back, help improve your posture, and can even give you an extra boost for better visibility.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Life changing on a long trip! My partner wanted us to drive from Colorado to California. I wanted to fly because I had a fall, and half of my body was in pain. He talked me into it, so I purchased this pillow for the car ride. What a game-changer! It helped so much with the pain, and I would recommend it for anyone in the car!" — Nadia
Get it from Amazon for $37.44+ (available in three styles).
10. A squishy universal cleaning putty that'll get every speck of dust off of your dash, out of your vents, and removed from your cup holders. It's less wasteful than paper towels or wipes, which always end up leaving even more specks of dust.
Amazon
Promising review:"This product does exactly what it says it does. I saw this product from TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn't last, just when it's out of the container!" — Loren
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in three colors).
11. A backseat hook so you don't have to do a full Cirque du Soleil move to get your purse from the backseat. This keeps your bag off the car floor and keeps all your necessities within reach.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I saw this product in a TikTok video for 'products on Amazon you didn't know you needed' and added it to my cart. I didn't actually purchase it until I got a new, bigger car, and my kids were sick of me setting my big purse on their feet in the car. It's easy to snap on and stays in place. Money well spent!" — Asha Brown
Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99 (available in two colors).
12. A dimmable LED car visor mirror because that little one built into the car's visor is a sad, sad excuse for a mirror, TBH. You'll have good lighting for makeup touchups, and it's big enough so you can actually see your full face (including if you need to zhuzh up your hair a lil').
Promising review: "Very large, very bright, but brightness is adjustable. You also have the choice of true white LED illumination or a softer incidence 'yellow'/natural light or you can run both simultaneously. Very large but would fit all sun visors. No magnification (that I am aware of), but its clarity makes you think it does. Battery is chargeable, but we have not needed to recharge it yet due to its long battery run time. It's inexpensive and needed for anyone who loves to 'finish getting ready in the car.'" — Chris Cook
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors and in a two pack).
13. A discreet seat gap filler to prevent your phone or sunglasses from falling into the deep, dark abyss known as the space between your seat and the center console.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Drop Stop is a small business that specializes in car accessories.
Promising review:"Somehow, my phone manages to ALWAYS fall perfectly between the large gap between my console and seat. And MAN, when I'm driving it is so frustrating, because I can NEVER reach it without stopping the car, because it's wayyyy under my seat. Before I ordered this, I tried the traditional insert that is a popular solution because it gives you extra storage and such, but it didn't fit the gap, it was loose, sloppy, and would literally slide forward with the brakes. UGH, Those are now sitting on my bar, waiting to be gifted to some lucky person, hopefully with a smaller gap. I immediately ordered these and love love love them!" — Ronald & Shannon White
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99.
14. A "New Car Smell" air freshener and odor eliminator spray if you want to bring your car back to the glory days when it didn't smell like Starbucks egg bites and wet dog. One reviewer says this is the closest thing they've ever found to replicating that new-car smell!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I've tried many of the trees, sprays, air vent dispensers, etc., from other companies, and I found some that I really like. However, this product from Chemical Guys is hands-down my favorite. It is the most faithful to that new-car smell that I've found, and it seems to last quite a while without being overpowering." — Anymouse
Get a two pack from Amazon for $21.94 (available in different sizes and a "leather" scent).
15. An all-purpose car upholstery cleaner since the backseat of your car is an absolute horror from spilled snacks, muddy soccer shoes, and that mysterious sticky mess your kids left you. This works specifically for car interiors but can be used for carpets, leather, and vinyl, too! Plus, it even comes with a microfiber cloth!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "It smells great, and the easy spray bottle makes application a breeze. It works wonders on leather car seats and various surfaces, leaving everything clean and spotless with minimal effort. I love how versatile it is — it tackles dirt, grime, and stains effectively without harsh scrubbing. Perfect for quick cleanups or deep cleaning sessions." — Roselle
Promising review:"Works great! I saw a video for this product on TikTok and knew that I needed it in my life. I love it, and it helps keep my new car looking clean and new!" — Alison Crawford
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
16. Plus, a spray-on interior cleaner and protectant to revive your dashboard, doors, and pretty much anywhere else that has gotten dusty and faded over time. Because as much as you care about how the exterior looks, the interior should be taken care of, too (I mean... you're sitting IN the car).
Promising review:"This does exactly what I wanted — clean all the interior surfaces of my car while not leaving any residues, streaks, or strong odors. I first used this on my 4-month-old Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that was CAKED in dust (inside!) from a recent off-road adventure. The Total Interior Cleaner cleaned all my surfaces — dash, screen, leather seats, etc. After things settled, my car looked and smelled new again!" – T. Porter
Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in three sizes and various bundles).
17. A compact emergency seatbelt cutter and window breaker, something that you hopefully will never have to use but will give you peace of mind just knowing you have it. In the case of an emergency, this will quickly cut through your seatbelt and smash your window.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Note: Reviewers warn *not* to test it out on the window for fun because it does its job well, and it absolutely will break without much force required! It even works if your car is underwater!
Promising review: "This is a great window breaker/seatbelt cutter combo. I love that they give you a small piece of safety glass to test the window breaker on. That gives me peace of mind that if I ever need to use it, it will do its job. I highly recommend buying these for everyone in your life." — Haley
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors).
18. A chic collapsible trunk organizer so all that stuff in the trunk of your car doing the Cha-Cha Slide can stop from sliding all over the place. This has pockets on the inside *and* the outside for ultra organization.
Promising review:"Great organizer. Easy to collapse if I need to put it away. Storage pockets are well thought out and sturdy. Fun prints, too." — RDD
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 12 colors and three sizes).
19. A set of collapsible, reusable grocery bags with a sturdy bottom to ensure your groceries or whatever you decide to put in these stay upright and stay put. You've got precious cargo (like those absurdly overpriced eggs) in the car, so keep things safe from spilling all over the place!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I got tired of a collection of ratty, cheap reusable bags that were collected from various grocery stores over the years. I replaced them all with these. Excellent purchase. They are larger, sturdier, and better made than any of the bags I have had in the past. They also look really nice. I will never go back to the sort of cheap reusable bags I had in the past." — David H.
Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors).
20. A bottle of Invisible Glass windshield cleaner to rid your windows and windshield of all that dirt, grease, and grime without leaving any streaks on the glass. Now the only thing you need is a permanent ✨ sparkle ✨ to go with your car as you're cruising down the street.
Promising review: "Okay, so I got this magical Invisible Glass cleaner for my car and home. First of all, it's invisible, so I'm not sure if I even sprayed anything. But wait, my windows are suddenly sparkling! I guess the 'deep cleaning foaming action' did its thing. It's ammonia-free, so no stinky smell, and it's safe for my car's tinted windows, which is great because I want to keep looking cool. Two bottles in one pack, so now I can clean my car and my house windows, too! Double the shine, double the fun!" — B
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.76 (also available in larger multipacks).
21. And a mega-absorbent "Shammy Towel" — you went through the hassle of washing your car, so you better finish it off with a towel that will dry it without leaving any scratches or streaks. Post-wash watermarks better watch out!
Amazon
Note: Shammy Towels should be stored slightly damp in their containers after use, or they'll dry out.
Promising review:"I've tried my fair share of car cleaning products, but this has truly stood out in terms of performance and quality. If you're passionate about keeping your vehicle in pristine condition, this product is a must-have. Its unmatched absorption power, streak-free shine, and durability make it a top-tier choice for keeping your vehicle looking its best." — Jose Galeano
Get a set of three from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in four color options).
22. A cleverly designed retractable window sunshade because you're tired of the sunshades where you twist, fold, and twist again, only to annoyingly throw it in your backseat. This attaches to the window and easily fans out and back in seconds!
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the sunshade in action.
Promising review:"I purchased this windshield cover for our RV; it holds the heat out and covers the window completely! Well worth the money, it's sturdy, and the suction cups hold up for long periods of time!" — Allison
Get it from Amazon for $26.45.
23. A set of stick-on shades that make a big difference in how toasty it can get in your car. These can help prevent UV rays from heating the car and block some of that nasty midday sun that always seems to get in your eyes.

It's also helpful for older kids to unbuckle themselves at the end of car rides!
Promising review: "I purchased this because I always struggle to unbuckle my sons from their car seats if I have nails. This has allowed me to have my nails done and still be able to do their buckles. I have two. One for the car and one for the diaper bag. It's so worth it." — VASILIY YEFIMOV
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four color combos).
25. A car tissue holder, which clips onto your sun visor so you don't have to pull over to take both hands off the wheel and rummage through your bag for those little tissues that you then ALSO have to open up. Or, you can use this for all those Chipotle napkins you've been hoarding in your car.
Amazon
Promising review: "I bought this to keep my car more organized. It looks great on my visor, doesn't block my view, and is simple. It also allows me to be safe while driving. No more looking for a napkin around my car to blow my nose. I can keep my eyes on the road." — Amazon Customer

Amazon
High Road is a small business that specializes in travel and car organization products.
Promising review: "My car console does not have a handy place for my phone, my reading glasses and sunglasses, my small bottle of hand sanitizer, and my lip balm. These are the things I seem to constantly need within reach when I am in my car. This pocket holds them all. It is roomy, sturdy, and easy to attach to a vent, yet it does not get in the way of my gear shift because it can slide back and forth on the vent if you want it to. I am really pleased with this purchase." — VWB

28. Or a "car side pocket" that'll be the perfect designated spot for your phone or other important things that you might need on hand, like lip balm or a pen.

Promising review: 'Purchased this for a road trip, and it has been amazing. I actually use it for my rear-facing infant, so it is on the front side of the back seat.

My dad is impossible to shop for, but this YETI beach chair is the best Father's Day gift I've ever given him
My dad is famously difficult to shop for, which makes Father's Day one of my most dreaded public holidays. Every Christmas he gets pajamas, and when his birthday rolls around in February, I usually scrape the bottom of the barrel with some sort of novelty sock. It's not because I don't want to lavish him with gifts. Far from it. I'm dying to upgrade his rusty old lawnmower or treat him to a fancy new gas grill. But my dad, like many, is a practical and sentimental man. He doesn't want anything, and if he does, he'd probably prefer to buy it for himself. This Father's Day, however, I've found the perfect gift that I didn't even know existed. So dad, if you're reading this, look away now. Here are 3 reasons why the new YETI Hondo beach chair is the ideal gift for the dad who has everything. Available in two colorways and constructed from breathable, UV-resistant fabric, the YETI Hondo Beach Chair is an ideal gift for fathers. There's nothing my dad loves more than a trip to the beach. On summer weekends when I was a kid, he'd spontaneously pack the family into the car for a day by the sea, and they're some of our happiest memories together. But in recent years, he's switched from a beach towel to a chair, packing a rusty old camping seat into the trunk so he can soak up some rays in a more upright position. I confess, I didn't know beach chairs even existed until I heard of the Hondo, but its low-lying reclining position is truly ideal for beach lounging, and it has four reclining positions for maximum comfort. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. So long, rusty camping chair, there's a new seat in town. I don't think my dad will mind me saying that he'll find the wider dimensions of this beach chair especially comfortable. The top review on the YETI site is titled "a huge win for bigger guys," and I'm inclined to agree. The reviewer says, "I have embarrassed myself 4 times on a public beach in front of hundreds of people, breaking every beach chair I've bought until now. Thanks guys, this thing is 'me-proof'." The lightweight and durable FlexGrid fabric claims to support up to 350 pounds, and the seat itself is 26.5 inches wide. So it's a gift that most dads can enjoy. Despite its wide dimensions and sturdy construction, this thing is surprisingly lightweight, weighing in at under 12 pounds. Its removable strap attaches easily onto each side of the chair to allow you to pop it over your shoulder or even wear it cross-body as you make your way across the beach to find that perfect sunbathing spot. Because of its portable design, you could also happily take the Hondo camping or on fishing trips, where you might have a considerable walk from your car to your destination. The strap is even padded, so and I found it very comfortable on my shoulder.

Slate Auto: Inside the EV startup, stealth production facility backed by Jeff Bezos
LAKE ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich. — In a nondescript supplier park in suburban Detroit, an electric vehicle startup backed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is building what it hopes will be America's newest automaker. The facility is filled with dozens of prototypes, crash-tested vehicles, a crude lab vehicle skeleton adorned with wires and, most importantly, a busy "beta" assembly line that has been building electric vehicles since December for the startup, Slate Auto. Slate is using the location — a stone's throw away from a massive General Motors assembly plant — to produce more than 70 vehicles for internal testing, certification and everything else a company needs to prepare to produce and sell vehicles in the United States. The beta production line features roughly a dozen labeled stations for things such as the vehicle's doors, tailgate and front ends that sit in bins or on surface areas made out of wood and steel parts. Employees move back and forth between the bins, tables and assembly line as songs such as Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love for You" and Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" echo throughout the lively facility. The largely hand-built vehicles being made are bare-bones, two-seat, two-door electric pickup trucks that can also be converted to different body styles of SUVs, such as a five-seat fastback or into a squared-off look like a Jeep Wrangler. The vehicles have injected-molded composite exteriors, crank windows, no infotainment systems and a litany of do-it yourself options. The plan is for every vehicle coming off the line to be the same to reduce complexity, before adding any additional features or different covers/tops. Auto executives have tossed around the idea for such a modular, stripped-down vehicle amid the rise of connectivity and affordability concerns, but so far the challenges have outweighed the potential opportunities, or companies have struggled to keep prices down. Slate believes it can succeed where others have failed through simplified manufacturing and lower costs – two areas where other EV startups have failed in recent years. "This one's going to be different for a number of reasons," Eric Keipper, an auto veteran and Slate's head of engineering, told CNBC after a tour of the company's manufacturing facility. "We took the back-to-basics, only-the-essentials approach, and, really, we're building a completely new category of product." Slate exited its "stealth mode" in late April by revealing its first vehicles — several two-door electric pickup trucks and converted SUVs — that it expects to begin deliveries of by the end of next year. It's in the process of building out a full production facility at a former printing plant in Warsaw, Indiana, where it expects to have capacity for up to 150,000 vehicles a year. It's a daunting timeframe even for an established automaker, let alone a new startup that's establishing its supply chains, production processes and workforce, among other things. Hand-building vehicles at a small facility is one thing; mass producing them is another. "We've put together a really solid plan, and we're working to achieve the plan," Slate CEO Chris Barman told CNBC. "It doesn't mean that we follow the plan exactly. We gotta pivot when different information comes, but we understand what we've got to do to ultimately get to the goal of having vehicles that meet all of our requirements." Slate revealed its unnamed vehicle (the company is telling customers to name it themselves) to notable fanfare, attracting more than 100,000 reservations that required a $50 deposit. For other companies, however, vehicles reservations have fallen significantly short of actual sales. The company said it is conducting a Series C round of financing after raising $700 million in its first two rounds of financing. TechCrunch first reported the Series A round in 2023 raised $111 million from 16 investors, including Bezos. Other EV startups have needed significantly more funding and have quickly blown through billions of dollars annually attempting to get a vehicle into production. But Slate believes it can be far less capital intense thanks to the engineering and production of the vehicle. "We are building the affordable vehicle that has long been promised but never been delivered," Barman said during the April 24 debut. "But with a twist, it's a vehicle people are actually going to love and be proud to own." The company declined to discuss future targets such as sales and profitability, as well as expected capital requirements, other than that it plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in its Indiana plant. Barman and Keipper — veterans of Stellantis predecessor Fiat Chrysler, among other companies — met nearly three years ago to discuss the vehicle and Slate's business plan as the first employees of the startup. "It started with a blank slate," said Keipper. "The CEO and I sat together on the fifth of July in 2022 and looked at a blank whiteboard, and I filled it. I said, 'Here's the plan. Let's do this.'" During the reveal, the company positioned itself and its vehicle as a "a radically simple, radically affordable, radically personalizable car." The vehicle — which has a targeted starting price of under $20,000 with an up to $7,500 EV credit — features many "off the shelf" parts from suppliers, lowering costs. Its body also is exclusively injected molded composite instead of steel or aluminum, bringing down cost and weight. It does not feature any "connectivity" such as a modem or large screens, just a small driver information screen. Instead of a center infotainment system, drivers can use their own devices such as a smartphone or tablet for navigation and music. Speakers also are optional. The exteriors of the Slate vehicles also won't be painted. The company says it was engineered to be wrapped with a vinyl film, eliminating the need for a costly paint shop — a massive investment for automakers. The basis for the company is for consumers to be able to easily change the vehicle themselves or add whatever they'd like to it after purchase through the removal or addition of bolts. The company plans to offer some services such as the vehicle wrapping, but customers aren't required to do those things through Slate and can purchase add-ons later. Slate says the vehicle — about the length of a two-door Ford Bronco — only features roughly 2,500 parts, including only 500 to 700 "end items," or parts, for final assembly. That compares with a Slate estimate of 2,500-end item parts for other competitors and thousands of more overall pieces. "Fundamentally, there's no new technology because technology costs money to develop," said Jamie Standring, formerly with Karma Automotive and Stellantis/Fiat Chrysler, standing by the beta assembly line. Standring said the initial idea was to have the vehicle's frame that everything is built upon be bolted together – almost like an erector set – to remove the need for a full body shop, much like it's attempting to not use a paint shop. But the drawbacks eventually outweighed the benefits, he said. The Slate truck is expected to ship with a standard 52.7-kWh battery with an estimated range of around 150 miles, or a 84.3-kWh pack with a target of 240 miles of range. Its battery supplier is SK On, according to the company. Its top speed is only 90 miles per hour. "I'm really proud of the team for how they really thought out of the box," Barman said. "We'll have kits, and we're doing it in a way that's lean as well, but we want to offer people many choices." But more choices for consumers mean more complexity. On the company's website, there are 11 categories for customers to customize with a combined 160 options, excluding customizable exterior colors for wraps. That's a lot of options – ranging from dozens of decals to lighting, audio and tires and wheels – for a customer to pick and a company to store and offer. Slate executives say the point of the customization is for customers to be able to make the vehicle their own and easily upgrade or change it when they'd like, but auto analysts see it as one of many potential problem areas. In addition to traditional startup challenges such as capital, profitability and scaling up, other hurdles include: A limited market for two-door vehicles, slower-than-expected adoption of EVs and regulatory uncertainty regarding federal tax credits that Slate is relying on for the vehicle's affordability, among other things. "They have an interesting idea," said Stephanie Brinley, associate director in AutoIntelligence at S&P Global Mobility. "The question is, how many people really want to do that much themselves, and how big is the adjustable market?" The sale of two-door regular cab pickup trucks like Slate's debut vehicle only accounted for less than 90,400 registrations in 2024. That compares to more than 2.5 million registered four-door crew cab trucks. Brinley, who attended Slate's reveal event in California, said if the company wants to be sustainable, it would need to expand its product lineup to four-door models, which the platform seems to be able to support, as well as additional vehicles in the future. "Just like every other startup before it, their sustainability is not going to be determined by the first product in the first six months," Brinley said. "The first product just gets you in the door." A handful of auto startups such as Lordstown Motors, Electric Last Mile Solutions, Fisker, Canoo and Nikola all made it into various forms of production but went bankrupt. Even better capitalized EV startups such as Rivian Automotive and Lucid Group have continually had to raise capital to stay afloat. Industry insiders also have raised concerns about the affordability of Slate's vehicle once customers add options or a new SUV top, which can be installed and uninstalled using bolts. "I think it's super interesting. The idea behind it, we've talked about that idea a million times," Tim Kuniskis, CEO of Stellantis' Ram Truck brand, said recently when asked about Slate. "Now, what's it going to actually transact at in the marketplace … when people start to option them up, it's not going to be $20,000. It's going to be $35,000, and by the time you get to $35,000, you're in midsize truck territory. " Slate has not announced pricing for customizations or exact pricing of the vehicle without a federal tax credit that's in jeopardy under President Donald Trump. "Slate is an example of why and how hard it is to produce a cheap EV" said Karl Brauer, a veteran auto analyst with "They are producing an electric vehicle with only two seats, 140-mile range, manual windows, no touch screen, and it's still $27,500 … To me, it's not a competitive vehicle at that point." Brauer said there are other EVs close to that price, as well as smaller pickups such as the Ford Maverick hybrid with a lot more features that could be a better buy for consumers. Both Brauer and Brinley gave Slate credit for trying something new and attempting to address affordability concerns, but the auto industry isn't an easy busy to break into, even when starting from a blank slate. "It's modular. It's cool. It's a really clever idea," Brinley said. "The question for me comes down to how many people want to do that? And we'll find out, but I don't know that it's as high as they think it is."

Is Ford's Model e Business Dragging Down its Overall Results?
US Legacy automaker Ford Motor Company F operates a dedicated electric vehicle (EV) segment, Model e, to focus and strategize its efforts toward EVs. The company's Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning EVs have been received well by customers. The segment, however, has failed to generate profits for the company despite continued improvements. After having incurred losses of $4.7 billion in its EV business in 2023, Ford's loss from Model e widened to $5.07 billion in 2024, exacerbated by ongoing pricing pressure and increased investments in next-generation EVs. The segment incurred losses of $849 million in the first quarter of 2025, owing to stiff competition, pricing pressure and significant costs associated with new-generation EV development. The company is expected to incur huge losses in its EV business this year as well. The persisting pricing pressures caused by stiff competition in the industry are significantly ailing margins. China's markets, led by BYD, have been slashing prices, forcing others to follow. The industry also remains prone to supply-chain disruptions. To keep up with the contemporary developments in the industry, Ford has to consistently invest ample amounts. Although the investments are weighing down cash flows, these remain indispensable. Ford is working to improve charging infrastructure throughthe Ford Power Promise campaign, the success of which has already provided customers with a home charger in standard installation. Further plans to drive volumes in the upcoming quarters with recent launches are in place. Toyota Motor Corporation TM, a Japanese auto giant, also remains cautious in its approach toward fully electric vehicles. Toyota's EVs did not constitute more than 1% of its sales globally in fiscal 2025. This has led Toyota to plan on cutting down its EV production target by 20%, reducing from 1.5 million to 1 million units by 2026. However, the company has started to unveil several new EVs. In China, Toyota launched its most affordable EV, the bZ3X, in March, starting at just over $15,000, to regain the market. Honda HMC, TM's closest peer, is also cutting down its EV production as global demand remains stunted. Honda rather seems to shift its focus toward hybrid cars, aiming to launch 13 new hybrid models globally between 2027 and 2030. With rising pressure in China and loosened emission targets in the United States, Honda is expecting a rise in hybrids' popularity, leading to a 30% lowered investment target in EVs. Shares of Ford have lost around 10% year to date against the industry's growth of 11%.
