Door speakers are the way to go. Maybe tweeters in the top of the dash in the corners. No central speaker is needed nor wanted. Hopefully room for a small sub under the passenger seat.

Certain stations, yes.

Interesting. Is that how Scout is handling it?

1400 pounds of payload is nothing to sneeze at. Sure it won’t tow much more than a trailer full of lawn mowers, but the work potential is there. I think you are spot on regarding their marketing focus…creating that extra demand in the lifestyle segment. We’ll see…

Ugh…when my radio is on, its almost always tuned to 710am (Seattle Sports).

Pretty sure they have already stated it will be 400v.

If it came with a flux capacitor, more people would buy it.

I really like the jump seat accessory idea. Seat can be hinged to provide storage below. Slate should also consider cup holders to be clipped to the lower dashboard rail.

It’s a company run by a woman selling a vehicle much smaller than the pickups a lot of guys buy. I can guarantee you that they have done their focus groups and other marketing research and know exactly who their target is. I don’t think “serious work vehicle” is the feedback they are getting...

The cab rear wall doesn’t get removed. It’s a fascia body panel with hinged glass and third brake light that gets removed/relocated to make the SUV and Cargo. That fascia body panel is bolted to the cab rear wall.

I could be wrong, but given available information this is what (I think) the key kits will include: SUV Kit: rear seats, roll bar (with airbags), topper with glass side panels. Cargo Kit: topper with glass or solid side panels. One can wrap over glass side panels. Open Air: rear seats, roll...

…and an amplifier? [edit: yes, 25w RMS]

Is the 10% the parts that do or don’t fall off the truck?

Pretty sure you can spec the topper either way.

Slate calls that the Cargo Kit. Pretty sure it uses the same topper as the SUV Kit.

My girlfriend collects two things: Starbucks location mugs and matchbooks. No charm collection. I only collect tools and don’t have much interest in collecting slatelets.

From ChatGPT:

A folding soft top (with removable soft side panels) would be a great option for the Slate Open Air. I’m sure some enterprising 3rd party is thinking about offering this and can’t wait to scan a production Slate with the roll bar installed.

I just bought a very expensive 13” iPad Pro. No way am I leaving it in the vehicle. Just the phone for me with the best Bluetooth powered speaker solution I can find.
