Place all that on an IPad and connect to the slate. Yes!!!

Hopefully they find a way to make a CarPlay like integration with iPad. Using an iPad for a display right now would not yield CarPlay like results

Yes, the open question is the Slate App and integration such as OBD2 data. When I posed the question the answer was along the lines of ’thinking about those things and thanks for brining it up’.

I had a "I will only buy a future car with CarPlay" as I had it with a BMW X2, and absolutely loved it. I traded that for a 2020 Tesla Model Y and still have the Tesla, and broke my rule. I think having some sort of tablet-sized screen that is focused on driving stuff, would be amazing. I wouldn't want to have to take the thing out of the truck every time I run into the store, park at work, etc., though, and it would have to be mounted semi-permanently and be able to withstand the heat and cold environments.

That's not why I'd get this truck, though.

Looking up iPad specs, it's operating range is 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C), and will cease to operate at −4° or below, or 113° F or higher (−20° to 45° C).

your last point is key. Yes, consumers (myself included) complain about car tech being dated, clunky, etc. but consumer electronics are not a substitute for industrial electronics.
