Somewhere I read, or hear them say, it isn’t big enough for two carry-on size bags. That’s a lot junk in that frunk!

"It IS big enough for 2 carry on bags" was the quote. In that image the 2 bags do have some room to spare, though it wouldn't fit 3.

🤦‍♂️ that’s what I meant. Mistyped.

I have not recieved any communication from Slate since the notice of receiving my reservation. WTF?

I wonder if the 4-post shock and vibration shaker that Slate installed on the shop floor will replace the “road test” that’s typically performed on vehicles off the line. The Warsaw facility does have ample outdoor space for setting up a small track. It may just be easier to run the vehicles on the shaker as an in-line inspection station. Or perhaps it’s being used on a production lot sampling basis.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the vibration shaker and stuff is used for testing of specific parts. I've seen 70s Ford factory footage of them putting a dashboard assembly with a wheel on the table to see if it rattles to pieces.
