The creativity of the members on this particular thread is truly amazing!

Along with a little help from AI.

I'm convinced that something close to this - maybe with a splitter under the front bumper - would be ideal for getting max range out of a Slate. And it just looks awesome.

The rubber band tires and 5-spoke rims are a step too far towards aesthetics over practicality for me, but I can see the vision. You'd want airbags for ride height on demand, but letting it droop while on the road would be sick.

Who needs a bed step to access your cargo when you can just sit on the rails?

This is why I don't have the membership. 🤦

Because you can't park on center either? :CWL:

My F150 has never felt constrained in the almost comically oversized Costco stalls. Even with that terribly parked van, something as narrow as a Slate parked on center would still have plenty of room to open the doors.

The whole setting (parking lot and warehouse) is too chaotic for me. I used to go with friends/partners. The only thing I miss is the Ahi Tuna Poke in the deli section.

Folks, I can't get Gemini to modify the truck in Maximum Overdrive style. Tried several different prompts already. Due to third party content something. There's gotta be a way!

No idea what Maximum Overdrive is, seems like a movie. Hopefully this is what you were thinking of, via ChatGPT.

And after also providing a photo of the movie truck for reference. I like the first one better though, but this is closer to the source inspiration:

That's it! The second one is closer to source but the first one is brilliant with the headlights. 👍👍👍
