    Aftermarket sunroof - Suitable for Slate

    Bed topper required for our 3 boxers, sunroof required for ever loving wife. All else optional. Apparently Donmar had no local presence, so DYI.

    Aptera-style solar panels in SUV option.

    Adding solar to topper roof is on my bucket list of ideas. If I could squeeze another 10 miles during a Costco trip, I’d be ecstatic. but I’m all interested even if it’s just additional 12vdc. Seems many of my accessories/mods involve power. i’ll be 80 yo when I get my Slate but apparently not...

    If the Slate succeeds I hope they do a full size truck version next

    Hope not, stay focused. 4wd, battery capacity likely, but I suspect 4 doors would be a major redesign, impact safety certification, expensive. Market unknown as it would be just another 4 door truck. Much rather time, effort, money put into the viable product.

    Some imaginary person wouldn't want one? Who cares? Here is why I actually do.

    Apparently there are specific rules for EVs looks like about $2300+ Ca to Hi via Matson. That would be an amount not available for accessories for me. Looking like a Blank Slate without Fed credit would be about $31500 for me.

    Slate is "confident in our plan -- [tax] incentive or not."

    Isn’t that amazing. Not in a good way.

    The Slate Truck Needs A Four-Door Version!

    I think there are many people hoping to get a full blown design, 4 door, 4wd, long bed, etc at the Blank Slate price. Perhaps they’d have better luck going to the existing manufacturers and asking for lower prices.

    Topper version

    Same here. I believe the rear window gets repurposed to the topper. Also don’t need the full blown roll bar. We have 3 boxers. Would want to keep that mid gate in place. Likely find or craft a grid type barrier for between mid gate and roof. have already been thinking if Slate doesn’t offer an...

    Removable top over cab - or large sunroof/moonroof, t-roof like Pulsar NX

    Would love to see a version of the Sportbak available. I think Slate probably has the basis with the SUV panels. Maybe a 3rd party option. was already on my list to add the sunroof even if I have to cut in myself...

    Aftermarket sunroof - Suitable for Slate

    Awesome, this is one of my planned mods. we very rarely use AC, but have the sun roof open times. Glad the vendor is in contact with Slate. Would be great if Slate offered a roof panel with a blank, ready to be replaced at will.

    Phone charging - wired or wireless?

    Numerous charging pads available that will plug in USB. Doubt it will be an issue.

    Slate EV Truck Will Be U.S.-Exclusive, for Now (Article)

    I bought a brand new 2007 GMC diesel, 3500 doublecab with 8 ft bed. Awesome as I was building our house at the time. Hauled a lot of building materials etc. But, gawd, how I hated to go to Walmart. I think size of the Slate will be great.

    Reservation List - Delivery Order Priority?

    I asked a related question of Slate. Received this answer: Lastly, I do not have an exact timeline as of now as to when we will start converting reservations to orders, but it will definitely be more than 30 days out! You have time so don't worry. When we do have one of our team, whether me or...
