Bezos' Representative Leaves Slate Auto Board — What It Means for the EV Startup

Friends, a transport update: Bezos' representative has left Slate Auto's board.

- State filings in Delaware, Florida and Massachusetts show Melinda Lewison (Bezos Expeditions) resigned in recent months.
- Bezos no longer has a direct representative; Slate is preparing to launch an affordable electric truck.
- The company has gone through multiple financing rounds — initial ~ $120M, to Series B ~ $700M, and a recent Series C of $650M; Bezos' role is undisclosed.
- The team includes many former Amazon employees.

Why it matters: the departure raises questions about the level of support from a key investor and the risk ahead of serial production.

How do you assess the impact of this move on Slate's prospects?
