Nothing Fun
Seems that Slate is investing a bit of money in small creators to show how "customizable" this truck is.



Love the investment in the creators- assuming they are being well compensated- but I can't help but feel that these customizations aren't specific to Slate.... I could put a custom tailgate on any truck, or custom seat covers....

This is just silly. First the useless wooden tailgate and now this. Where's the substance Slate? Not some superficial arts and crafts like this. Show us electrical diagrams and CAD files.

They have to feed the voracious appetite of the internet. They have nothing of substance to share, nor should they. IMO.

Agree, it is just silly.

While I agree this is silly, I don't think that's a bad thing. Creating the aura of customization / modification / artistry only helps expand the audience, in my opinion. For instance, the nuts and bolts things that I'm interested in are not the same as the "arts and crafts" that my wife is interested in. If they only showed the attachment points and wiring diagrams to support all the different ways to build an audio system, my wife would just see that there's no radio.

Once the product gets closer to launch, I suspect we'll get more of both technical and "arts and crafts." Something for (almost) everyone....

Next up, the Slate Truck interpretive dance video (16 seconds long).

Cute and silly is fine. But a steady diet of the stuff has me craving substance. Why not show us ground clearance, fluid capacities, 12-Volt fuse block showing what and where we can connect, !2V DC-DC ratings, skidpad Gs.

C'mon, Slate. You gave us frosting. Now how about some cake.

BTW... the headreasts should be wraparounds.
