Of course there are higher priorities, but I was mostly asking if people in general would find it to be a fun addition to the site at some point.

Pretty much as the title states. Do you think some form of a randomize button in the designer would be a fun addition to the site? Could lead to some wild builds.

I will say it is strange that in the maker, if you apply the 'accent decals' it puts the vinyl wrap on the grill lettering, a spot that will get swapped out by probably 80% of the buyers, but not on the trunk lettering which I'd reckon would be on there for much longer and stand out better.

Well, besides height, its similar in dimensions to a compact car such as a Scion Tc, which is much smaller than the majority of trucks on the road. I think that comparison is what makes people think its tiny.

While I'm not against it, I also dont think it should be on the Slate because it does make wrapping harder. If someone wants tailgate branding, I feel it should be with the decals on the maker, similar to how you can already get the logo on specific wraps, but a standalone option for the grill...

That's similar to where I'm at. Inexpensive doesn't have to mean "cheap", but it's important to have quality on things that need to last for long term affordability; which to an extent is far more important than upfront cost. Realistically, as much as I'd like to be in the "first wave", I'm...

Makes me wonder if there is any wiring already setup in the mirror stalks or if they just made it accessible for future upgrades like the power mirrors, blinkers or blind spot sensors to be easily DIY or 3rd party.

Hey everyone, just wanted to get a thread started on things we'd enjoy seeing offered over time. Most might not be feasible but it's nice to see peoples thoughts. Personally, I'd like to see a 'Slate Toolbox' offered in their store. Just a simple handheld toolbox that contains all the tools or...

Lol, my first vehicle was a powder pink hand me down 1992 Suzuki carry truck. Loved that little thing and nowadays nothing in my personal opinion fits that small truck vibe and simple utility factor besides the Slate or Kei trucks.

That's even better than my idea of a wrap or something that is intended to be replaceable over time. A simple letter or card feels far more personal and heartfelt, even if the early adopters all got the same thing, just hand signed by any of the workers. That reminds me of when I did car sales...

I can only speak for myself, but at 35 years old, the Slate would be the first new vehicle I ever owned and it would replace my current and sole vehicle that I've had for about 15 years thats practically my own ship of theseus; the two before that was a hand-me-down suzuki and one HHR i bought...

If anything, I'd happily pay extra for a true "signature" thank you wrap. Possibly still in the 'Slate Gray' color but with the employees signatures or little messages in that white marker/pen look. Could be pretty simple since they'd theoretically just have to sign one or two trucks and scan...

When Mom says we have an ElectricShitbox at home...

Haven't seen this posted yet to my knowledge, but in one of the Slate YouTube shorts they briefly show the aerodynamics testing in the wind tunnel at the 3 second mark. Looked like the truck is still pretty "slippery". Here's the video link since screenshots aren't attaching to the post for...

Wow, I didn't know that was doable in EV's (even my current automatic ICE vehicle hates being thrown into neutral while going over 20). Definitely sure I could get used to "feathering" as an option or using the neutral if able until I get used to the 1pd in the Slate. Even if it happens to be...
