That's a nice frunk size (7 cubic feet) for a truck this small. Wish there were some pics showing its size against the larger pickups that it's parked in between.

Wow, the Blank Slate isn't going to win any beauty contests. Reminds me of the Volkswagen Thing.

My mind is changed about wraps and decals now. There's lots of time to come up with something personal.

Ugh! Sandwiched between a Cybertruck and a bloated Tundra.

My guess for the caps is:
  • windshield washer fluid
  • brake fluid
  • coolant (for the batteries and possibly the electric motor)
The panel to the left appears to be a 12V power port and frunk lamp.

I really hate that I’ll have to put a front license plate on this.

Also, who do they have caring for these? Right side tires are clean and passenger side looks like they rubbed the curb all the way around.

Preproduction vehicles take a lot of abuse from curious hands-on people and also their designated drivers. The interior, dash, and phone mount is already starting to look a bit worn. Some lucky bystanders actually got to sit inside.

You can also be sure that all those caps under the hood will be properly labelled on production units.

Maybe power steering fluid depending on which system they are using.

Is it just me or does that thing not look great unwrapped?
Gray is my favorite color so I personally love it. I think we all should wait until we see it in person to pass judgement.

I will say, one thing I don’t like about it is the hood is just flat. I think if it had some contours it would look better

Another shot where you can see its size compared to Cybertruck a little better. The Slate is gonna be the easiest pickup truck ever to parallel park! Look at how little space it takes between the lines :like:
