Since the body panels are all plastic, is there a reason an antenna needs to be external? Maybe something in the frunk or under a bed rail would work.
Since there is so much chatter about installing radios Slate might just surprise us and produce it with a hidden antenna under the plastic roof panel that we can just plug our radio into

A standard radio??? What is this? 1931?

Slate might as well rebrand to Plymouth with that innovative of an idea.

Maybe Safelite will offer an old-school windshield antenna upgrade :rock:

That would be some smart engineering and in the spirit of BMW from the 90s. BMW used to integrate the FM and key fob antennas in the rear window with the heating element to create a sleek and elegant profile with no metal antenna going up and down.
