Hopefully they find a way to make a CarPlay like integration with iPad. Using an iPad for a display right now would not yield CarPlay like resultsPlace all that on an IPad and connect to the slate. Yes!!!
Yes, the open question is the Slate App and integration such as OBD2 data. When I posed the question the answer was along the lines of ’thinking about those things and thanks for brining it up’.Hopefully they find a way to make a CarPlay like integration with iPad.

your last point is key. Yes, consumers (myself included) complain about car tech being dated, clunky, etc. but consumer electronics are not a substitute for industrial electronics.I had a "I will only buy a future car with CarPlay" as I had it with a BMW X2, and absolutely loved it. I traded that for a 2020 Tesla Model Y and still have the Tesla, and broke my rule. I think having some sort of tablet-sized screen that is focused on driving stuff, would be amazing. I wouldn't want to have to take the thing out of the truck every time I run into the store, park at work, etc., though, and it would have to be mounted semi-permanently and be able to withstand the heat and cold environments.
That's not why I'd get this truck, though.
Looking up iPad specs, it's operating range is 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C), and will cease to operate at −4° or below, or 113° F or higher (−20° to 45° C).
