Thanks for posting this. I will say it's getting me excited to pick the right color for my little truck - this, and a personalized license plate. 😁

I also do this! But I am not averse to installing a string in the garage to hit the windshield when I pull in the right amount. 😁 With the Teslas the visibility is so bad a rear camera is necessary. With the Slate I expect the visibility to be great (in truck form), that I can see a backup...
