A lot of the cameras are in the gate like that. Even on our suburban it's on the gate and if that's up, it's useless then too. Haha
I'm curious about the locking/unlocking with the fob. That would be nice but it does look like a point for key there too.
Slate gave me a call this past Friday. The girl I had talked to said to be on the look out for more released information shortly. That they were on track with the demolition and such at the plant. Also that more dates for Slate to state would be released end of September, early October. I'm...

I thought it looked great. I'm going with just the truck though, so no extra seats for me. There were some "rough edges" to it but I realize this is a beta and that the production models will be cleaner and maybe utilize different materials as well. Parts will probably have been redesigned or...
I'm not a manufacturing expert but I think you're forgetting that they are not planning on a conventional auto assembly plant. Pretty much the same thing rolling off the line and a huge reduction in parts/assemblies. And no paint to boot. 😄
