That I believe should be coming some time early next year. As of right now they probably don't know what the prices on many accessories will be, and probably don't have half of them even in the maker yet.
Cannot wait for Slate to rollout its build site, just as you’d find on mostly every other OEM site. What I’d especially like to see is if packages which include multiple individual accessories can be priced lower. Examples: wheel and tire kits including a lift kit and running boards, or upgraded front bumper including fog lights. Upgraded consoles with all weather floor mats included.

Since Slate hopes to increase margins through its accessories portfolio, bundling option packages will help achieve their goal while making them more affordable.

Bundles might be attractive, but bear in mind that there's a "Paradox of Choice" hazard.

The "Paradox of Choice" by Barry Schwartz explores how having too many options can lead to anxiety, dissatisfaction, and decision paralysis, rather than increased freedom and satisfaction. Schwartz argues that reducing choices can improve our well-being and decision-making processes.​

Keeping choices Radically Simple might achieve better results than offering bundle discounts.

Some simple bundles might actually simplify the buying decision, because you then don't have to pick and choose your way through the menu, getting the half dozen or more items needed for a certain build.
Some retail stores need to figure out that paradox of choice thing though, with an entire long aisle of candy, near 100 different choices of just 1 brand of deodorant among many brands, etc.
