I would like to see a power port above the rear view mirror for dash cam power. Some of the Grab vehicles I rode in when I was in Kuala Lumpur had them. I thought that was a fine idea.

As a DIYer vehicle, if Slate could at least run conduit, that might be nice. From the dash toward the doors, a good path back behind the seats and one up to the ceiling (& near rear view mirror)?

I learned about the value of conduit about five years after building my house. Cat5 ethernet to each room, but now that the drywall is up, Cat 5e / 6 /7 might be nice here or there. And plastic tubing is cheap!

Conduit, molded channel, or just space within the removable interior and exterior panels to DIY wiring, cables. No pre-wiring needed.

Modern cars do not leave room inside the panels or make them removable to be able to add wiring in for any accessories. Slate could really differentiate themselves here.

Slate core mission is to economically produce a vehicle that does not have anything other than what is required to make it go and pass regulatory compliance safely.

Seeing lots of requests to pre-wire this and that misses Slate’s core mission.
