    we also gotta look at the possible cost of accessories rising 6-12 months after vehicle launch. i like the idea of "locking in" the price of some stuff when the truck launches.

    Third parties i get. Tho I question why get them from slate. But the actual slate accessories like the optional headlights, center console, speaker kits. In my business I order stuff all the time through venders and have to pay the shipping charges to a business address... Can't imagine the...

    Thinking of not ordering any accessories.

    At first I was under the impression that if it was ordered at the same time as the truck, some of the accessories would be installed, but then I was thinking "ok, they'll just all be in the cab or bed of the truck when it shows up on the trailer." But now another couple hundred on shipping...

    Info & discussions from Slate/Reddit AMA

    Wait... So any accessories we order, from slate... Don't for up in like the bed of the truck... We actually have to pay additional shipping?!? So another couple hundreds of dollars on top... "I have altered the deal..." "This deal is getting worse all the time"

    Release Day! What pleasantly surprised you. What mildly disappointed you?

    Tonneau / bed cover (factory OEM) will be available

    cant tell a huge diffeerence between the 2 non solar options, but i did find a youtube video of the Nexus and i liked the features i saw, and it can withstand 400lbs on top.. so like, i could stand on it for no reason and not break it i guess.

    What are your thoughts on the Panel Van / Cargo Kit setup?

    I originally was going for the "cargo" set up, but upon further thinking, and wanting the ability to reach my tools, think im going with the tonneau/ladder rack set up.

    Release Day! What pleasantly surprised you. What mildly disappointed you?

    i'm assuming this is comes installed upon delivery besides maybe the tower racks on the bed. If my truck shows up with all the accessories in the bed for me to install than whats the point of ordering em through slate? also i dont trust myself getting the wheel decals perfectly centered so they...

    disappointed the lack of price on the lowering kit. assuming they are just replacing existing parts, shouldn't be that much, but since its "pending" im worried.
