The HVAC control unit is already centered on the dash. Centered. The DIN mount opening above it behind the flap is off-center. It's confirmed they did this due to the assumption that everyone wants to mount their phone where SA assumed everyone wants to mount their phone. Then they designed the...

I feel it is you who is the curmudgeonly curmudgeon, here, seemingly insisting that it's such a terrible thing for the DIN mount hole opening to be centered because phones. The SA chat CSR told me it was off-centered because of the phone placement. Then rudely dismissed me. I'm simply making...

I'm part of that 99.9% that has a cell phone, but I don't want my cell phone the center of my dash experience. I want my radio to be the center of my dash. There's no reason they can't do both, so both kinds of customers can get what they want. They just didn't because they think DIN users don't...

Uh, there's a static screen embedded in the dashboard, front and center a few inches beyond the steering wheel. That screen displays speed, battery level, estimated range remaining and likely a trip meter, too (if you look closely at pictures, the screen has a push button at the lower left)...

You're not a weirdo for wanting that. I get it. I'm not trying to force a design that makes the DIN head unit out front for those who don't want to use it. I understand why som people don't use DIN stereos and use more recent tech that fits their lives. Again, I do like the plain horozontal...

Sorry, but you're wrong: the chat CSR confirmed to me the DIN is off-center because of the phone placement. I understand the phone mount can be removed. It's just on a common T-slot rail. But what's behind it is designed to place the DIN 2-3" offset just because of the flap panels segmented...

Me as a politician? I'd get shot for speaking truth to power! I'm confident it wasn't a chat bot, just a rep who doesn't care about what people actually want, you know? Bots are nicer, which is why they're obviously not humans. I actually did try to write them an email first, but it only allows...

LOL, yes I was really ranting. I was fuming about the interaction with the chat rep Saturday morning, who was so rude in multiple ways. It just exacerbated my dislike of the dash and I was TRIGGERED! Posted this late last night and reread it this morning and kinda SMH at myself. It's why I put...

TL;DR: The Slate Truck's dashboard design sucks and the car stereo should be centered and accessible and the phone should be banished from sight. What is your opinion? Otherwise, this is a long read, sorry. Most won't have the patience for it, but I believe it's actually important for minor...

Yes, a thousand times, yes. I would rather not store tools in the frunk with groceries. A secure place to stash a small collection of tools and an air compressor would be extremely helpful.

LOL, yes. Before I coated the plastic dash and door parts they always showed scratches and sun blotch. After the Monstaliner it always looks great, other than dust, of course. After a wash I'm always kinda amazed how good it looks years later. My Jeep's lined floor looks great after about 10...

Yes. I did my Jeep's interior with Monstaliner. The dashboard and interior panels of both doors, all plastic. Scuff and clean very well and it will adhere fine. It's been about 8 yrs since I did it and no sign of wear or peeling or color fading.

No. I just received my 2-gallon kit from Monstaliner I ordered a few weeks ago to do my 2-door Jeep's exterior. It's shipping weight is 28 lbs. That includes the weight of the metal cans, the install tools like roller and disposable roller pads, gloves, stir sticks, brush, printed instructions...

I did the interior of my Jeep with Monstaliner bed liner years ago and am currently prepping to do the exterior, long overdue. Monstaliner is fantastic. Indestructible, UV stable, resistant to nearly any chemical. They have several dozen colors. I did the tub floor of my Jeep about 10 yrs ago...

The man sieg heil'd TWICE on camera at a political event. No, he wasn't being "awkward Elon," as his protectors have disengenuously suggested. He has inserted himself into far, far right politics, including Holocaust denialism. He not only allows hate speech on Twitter/X, he commits hate speech...
