Yes, I get your point. Everybody wants to request a feature on a product that's supposed to be intentionally lacking features to save the customer money...
However...
The doors are already wired for optional power window motors to be mounted and plugged in.
Also, the dash is wired to accept...
Slate Auto's website contains very, very little detailed information about ANYTHING about this truck. The website seems to be just a pleasant tease to get people interested and excited, while not informing. Of course, it's still very early and maybe they don't want to promote a feature they may...
There is so much confusion over whether or not the Slate Truck has a screen. The fact that the customer can add their own phone or tablet to the dash seems to be making some people assume that the stock truck, therefore, has NO screen. Also, journalists like to say "this RADICAL DISRUPTOR EV has...
The removeable rear roof is shown here in this here video @ 15:15
I get the need for the roof panel providing rigidity, but if they can do away with the roof over the rear passengers, why not the front cab roof which has 1/3 the square footage? I am not an automobile engineer.
My favorite thing about my Jeep is the ability to drive 9 months of the year topless and doorless, so I'm a little disappointed that the Slate isn't (yet) showing an option for cab roof panel removal. They built that ability into the SUV shell option, but it just isn't the same.
So many...
The mirrors look like they're in an a roomy enclosure, and I saw in a video a journalist asked a Slate rep if power windows were an option and the rep said to "stay tuned."
I share the impulse to want to add on things I don't currently have. Only one car I"ve ever owned had power windows and it would be one of the few addons I would consider for the Slate. LOL. Everyone in the media is going crazy over the hand crank windows on this truck (!) and I want to install...

These are a thing, apparently. $35. I'm sure the quality is superb.
When the shifter is placed in R Reverse, the 4" screen behind the steering wheel automatically displays the backup camera's POV and when the shifter returns to D Driving mode, the screen would revert back to speedometer. Simple and automatic. I heard that using a smartphone in the cradle is...
I saw a video that showed USB ports in the compartment directly above the climate control knobs. Also, I think I saw another 12V port in the frunk, which would be a perfect spot for a portable cooler when shopping or camping. And if they're smart, there would be some kind of port presence at the...
This is simply false. Slate Auto has said, repeatedly, that showrooms will be open in all major metropolitan areas where a prospective customer can test drive it, put their hands all over it, ask a thousand questions and maybe, for a small fee, make sweet, sweet love to it.
I made that last...
I've also seen many of these pessimistic takes on YT, and nearly all are the same POV. These pundits always pop off with arrogance and a desperation to be seen as seasoned experts. They are almost always looking at things from a very narrow and negative perspective: to say obvious things that...
