There was a 12V in the frunk of the beta Slate I saw at the Space Needle yesterday. Right next to the light on the passenger side. I was joking with the Slate rep about smoking and drinking out of the frunk. Having said that, this particular Slate did not have a drain hole for the frunk cooler...

I’d take it with a grain of salt. This was a prototype and we don’t even know if these were hooked up to anything. Maybe by 2027 there will be some updates.

I thought of this thread when I saw a Slate at the needle. Looks like enough room for a double DIN and the compartment bottom can be removed for a LOT more space underneath for an amp, etc… There were 2 ISB-A ports on the left of the compartment and a 12V “cigarette lighter” in between the...

Closer to 4.25” when you account for the flip up door. That’s just the opening. The bottom panel inside the compartment dropped down a few more inches and the rep showed me it pulled out and he was able to reach his hole hand down behind the lower dash. Could probably fit an amp AND a sub in there.

I don’t think so. I looked for the wire going to the door locks when I was discussing adding speakers to the door. The Slate rep McKay said the electric locks were not activated (not wired) because it’s a prototype. I think we’re seeing an early beta and everything should be taken with a grain...

I did not. I wanted to pull seats forward and take some photos but the Slate rep said the seat on this particular truck didn’t move forward (prototype). Of course he also said the steering wheel didn’t move and it did. He did say for the seats that actually do move, they go WAY forward, with the...

The yellow Space Needle logo on the doors was a decal on top of the wrap but I’m pretty sure everything else was printed directly onto the wrap, including the photos of the Needle.

HA! You’re right @Adam W Guess this finally proves you can’t believe everything you see on the internet. :CWL: Here’s a pic from my rejects to prove two of us were there:

You were able to get some better outside pics with less people in the way. It had descended into more of a free-for-all by the time I got there. Fun to see the enthusiasm, but you know how some people are. I had a guy get in the passenger seat while I was in the drivers and he proceeded to stomp...

I'll be heading down to the Space Needle after work tomorrow. I’ll take some pictures.

That makes so much sense that I hope it is true.

My 2008 Prius has a slot that you can push the FOB into. I have never used it because the car knows the FOB is inside the car (my pocket). I have noticed the dealership always puts it into the dash, so I take off the leather sheath I have for it before handing the FOB over. I would expect the...

This talk of wiring has me wondering: Has anyone seen inside the fuse box? I think the “white truck in Warsaw” thread shows the cover.

Evtruth said the doors have a key hole too. So I guess the question is whether the ignition is FOB only meaning we have to carry both.

I noticed the tailgate has a “traditional key.” Thanks for posting, evtruth. This was very helpful.

Ambulance is spelled in reverse for your rear view mirror. Your camera shouldn’t be on unless you’re going down the highway backwards. :rock:

Hi Josh!

Looks like Yolanda’s phone number is the same as was mentioned in the “Did you get a call from Slate” thread. 833-HI-SLATE Laser scanners are cheap and easy to use. Always better to go to the source so you’re not just perpetuating any manufacturing errors from what you’re scanning.

I did a DIY “SUV conversion” to my ‘74 GMC K1500 about 20 years ago and have used it twice for passengers. Sure, it comes out, but then it’s taking up garage space. You may have different needs but I learned my lesson and will keep my Slate basic. I might get the larger battery, depending on...
