Who hunted SLATE?
SLATE was hunted by Chris Messina. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

I saw Slate make the rounds and was impressed by the pitch.
No frills. No FSD. Barely any cupholders. But also under $20K, with government subsidies (if they stick around).
This is what the Tesla Model 2 could be. Maybe.
