I don’t think I have seen the slate having ether of these. Can anyone confirm?

That would be crazy if it didn’t have any interior lighting.

Dome lights are nice to have, but if it doesn't, there are plenty of little battery/LED devices that could be stickytaped to the ceiling. If there isn't one, it might bother you, but wouldn't bother me. Much.

The maker shows a dome light control in the area around the rearview mirror, but nothing on the roof. So it must be a map light style in mirror assembly.

Ok cool that will work, adding a sticky push light from the dollar store is just way to silly

Being a retro-themed vehicle, I like the idea of a map light. I’ll open up one of those Rand McNally maps to find my way, since there’s no embedded navigation.

Now if I can only fold the darn thing back to fit in the glove box… Hmm, where’s the glove box? 🧐

The glovebox is where the speakers go, lol. It needs a map pocket behind the passenger seat.

Yes, and when we install the dash mounted speakers, the optional door pockets, then the center console, what’s left? Maybe add some storage pockets in the sun visors?

Haha, is Slate the first vehicle produced with crank windows and no ashtray?
Doubtful, pretty sure ashtrays went into an optional smokers package well before power windows became standard on lots of vehicles.
On storage, even with both the center speaker and the speaker pair, there is a bit of dash space for a small storage space, and the console adds space.
