I felt like the house was moving to a different rhythm to the earth. I had to carry my mum out. She was paralysed by fear,” said 18-year-old Sebastian Rodríguez, whose family runs a shop in Centro Plaza, a brutalist commercial centre in the affluent neighbourhood of Los Palos Grandes.

BYOK is my new go-to distraction-free writing tool

I've even converted an old laptop into a writerdeck. But neither solution really clicked. Last year, I paired a Boox Palma with a NuPhy Air and there was a lot to like.

And the proposal is pretty radical: Would you trade all the bells and whistles of a modern car for a more affordable price? The Slate Truck has unquestionably been one of the most talked about new EVs in a long time. Slate says the base version will start at a little under $25,000, but customers can add a bevy of 3D-printed accessories, as well as a galaxy of different colored wraps, to personalize their trucks. The ultra-minimal design also enables a low-cost approach to manufacturing that has caught the eye of major investors. It’s been engineered and will be manufactured in America, but is this extreme simplification too much for American consumers? I drove the Slate Truck — there’s more to it than EV minimalism The Slate Auto pickup truck starts at $24,950 Slate raises $650 million to make its budget electric truck Is the Slate Truck too minimal for its own good? Slate Truck FAQ: answering all your questions about the barebones electric pickup What if Tesla made a Slate-like EV instead of the Cybertruck?

Slate Auto confirms where it’ll build its $20,000 Truck The Slate Truck is a whole new kind of car Why the Slate Truck is the most interesting car released in years.
