Interview: Sandy Munro calls Slate genius and a disruptor

[Luxrage]

My 2015 Wrangler had manual mirrors; I was the sole driver and I found it to be a non-issue.

Agreed, if you're the sole driver of the car it's usually a 'one and done' affair.

I've had a few cars with manual mirrors, usually I just have a passenger help me set it and that's the end of it.

A few years ago I was daily driving a car that didn't come with a right-side mirror and didn't find it to be an issue missing it. At least Slate isn't going THAT far down the money-savings route!. It saved something like $26 in 1987 money on the Ford if I remember from the build sheet it came with.

While I wouldn't complain about electric mirrors taking away too much of the 'bare-basic' feel of the truck I wonder if it comes down to door card / armrest design and keeping it as minimal as possible. I'd rather it not even have keyless entry if that meant getting rid of all of the wiring in the door.
