Jeff Bezos arrives at the 11th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony on Saturday, April 5, 2025, in Los Angeles.

From an EV under $20,000 to $480 headphones, we’re covering tech this week from cheap to steep.

First, came Elon Musk and Tesla. Now we have Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and the Slate EV pickup truck. There’s already a sizable waiting list for the affordable, bare bones truck that customers can customize. Why is it so inexpensive? The car has no radio and has hand crank windows.

Also, Ohio may say yes to more online gambling, a bill related to iGaming is moving through the state legislature.

Sony and Motorola have released impressive, but pricey, new devices.
