Another motor just means something else to go wrong. I want less. I want simple.

Ohhh maybe he is bitter with no good EV trucks in Canada then. lol

I guess I’m just not a typical truck guy. What I really want is a compact, all-electric two-door—something like my old Ranger, but fully EV. The Slate is the closest thing I’ve seen that fits that vision. I don’t get the hate in that video. What’s wrong with having a U.S.-made truck, built for...

it has been done before. Small truck and light weight shell. Sure. Range extended will need be added. I hope a second battery can be plugged in for longer ranges.

A good used set of seats will be cheaper I think.

Look ugly to me. I will look for a cleaner way.

I’ve been thinking it would be awesome to develop a swing-out tailgate option for the Slate—kind of like what you see on old Land Cruisers or Jeeps with spare tires. Instead of dropping down, the tailgate would swing open to the side on a hinge. Here’s a quick breakdown: Pros: • Easier access...

agreed. There is lots of kits already out there. Nun for me to be innovating and original with. I am sure others will have a kit quickly. I like the crazy ideas and try to make them.

I can see this truck blow up with Motorhome owners for a simple pull be hind car. Why small jeep are high demand with them and other small easy to pull cars.

I work in the smart home tech world. So I have connections with manufacturers overseas so finding this stuff and getting made is easy. The app side is the hardest part for me to find someone to do. My hope is I have like severalproducts I can come out with like this for the slate truck and sell...

I would 100% take one, and I am not a boomer. can we make that center dial be a push to turn on and off? e-ink display an option, I honestly do not know. That’s exactly what I was thinking—keep it simple. A black-and-white screen with white text, and a large knob that you press to cycle...

I do not think so as it uses the back glass from the short cab

I’ve had a few folks tell me to just stick with FM for the audio setup—but I’m curious what the rest of you think. Personally, I don’t use FM or AM much anymore—I’m all about streaming—but I know some of you still love the analog charm. If adding AM means another knob or switch (and a bump in...

I’ve been daydreaming about what a wide body kit or some bigger off-road fenders could do for the Slate truck—and not just for looks. If the fenders are bolt-on (which I really hope they are), swapping in a new set would be one of the cleanest ways to totally change the stance and capability of...

Already found some solid manufacturing options for stuff like the rearview mirror module. Cost is still high due to import tariffs, but it’s on my list of products to eventually sell. As for power, we’ll need to wait until we get a Slate in-hand to properly test and plan wiring. The power...

Another angle I’ve been exploring for the Slate’s audio setup with a manufacturer: a modular Bluetooth amp system with a built-in DAC and optional FM radio. The goal here is a super clean, minimal install—no traditional head unit, just a solid sound system controlled by your phone or a small...

Hey everyone, So I went down a rabbit hole last night after seeing the discussion about Bluetooth mirrors and the steering wheel’s Bluetooth connector. Turns out, there’s actually a pretty cool possibility here: I contacted a manufacturer in China, and they’ve got a model that could work...

A pair of mopeds mirrors should slide into the mounts and be fine. We do that on many jeeps. Or stick on mirrors.

I will work on a Bluetooth design for you. :giggle:

Can someone please take a 3D scanner with them and get some scans and some measurements so we can start working on some ideas of after market products?
