Clip: From moving your couch <> to moving your crew

"When Life Changes, Slate Changes. Ready for the great indoors. Or the great outdoors."

"From moving your couch to moving your crew."

More and more the two-tone idea tempts me, reminds me of the Bobcat from the PS2-era GTA games.

they always manage to skip the part where you have to squeeze in out with the front seat forward...

To be fair, with it setup like the video, they could have exited out the side just as easily.

How many people never rode in the back of an 80s 2-door car? I suppose it is 2026, and those were 40 years ago, but it wasn't that hard. Not going to ask my parents to do it at their age now, but I'm not planning on the SUV kit anyway.
Slate will surely be easier to get in and out of than those, partly just by being higher, and having a taller internal height?

I keep imagining a footholds (like on fake climbing walls) mounted to the side of the rear panels. The SUV kits having a sliding half hatch and panic grip to enable independent rear entry and exit.

Makes me wonder how quickly you can install/remove the open-air kit. I'd be inclined to get it and install it for the summer, but there are only a few months out of the year where it would make sense, and I do need to haul pretty regularly. If it can be swapped in less than an hour I'd be very curious.

My thoughts exactly.

I had a 2000 tundra with suicide doors. Sometimes the door was blocked so the back had to come out the front door. It was definitely hard even with all the height/space. I personally will not get the SUV kit so it doesnt matter for me.

The hard part is when you are in a tight parking space and cant open the front door all the way.

When I sat in the Slate at the Space Needle event last year, the rep said the seats will slide under the dash with the seat back going up to the steering wheel.

If this information is correct, there should be a lot of room for back seat passengers to get in and out.

I have a 2-door Bronco. Its a PITA to get into the rear seats.

Saves bandwidth.

That wasn’t a couch it was love seat 😊

My father had a mid-80s hatchback corolla for commuting, the passenger seat, when you pulled the seatback tilt lever, would tilt forward and then the slide would release allowing the seat to slide forward. It was lower and shorter than the Slate will be, but workable. I'd still be asking the younger and shorter passengers to sit in the back.
