Hey yall, after seeing and feeling the Slate Truck in person, there are a few accessories that I think should/could be added as options. I'd like this to be a space where we can all throw ideas together. Whether Slate or the aftermarket make these, I think more ideas is moar better. My goal is to keep these suggestions within the realm of reason, so not things like torque controlled steering actuators for use with Comma.ai, etc.
1) Leather wrapped door armrests/pulls.
- The door pulls/armrests (as well as the center console lid) are all a hard plastic. I'd like an option that basically clips around to add a 1/4" or so of padding & leather, just to make it feel a bit more premium (and more comfortable). The options in the Slate Maker currently appear to just be vinyl wraps.
2) Pickup Storage Chest
- As noted in my Ember Goods event thread, I think they should build a toolbox that replaces the floor panel in the bed that covers the rear set mounts. A drop in toolbox with a key to lock it that bolts to the existing seat bracketry under the existing panel would be ideal.
3) Lower door card speaker panels
- The bottom of the doors have easily removable panels. I'd like to see them sell a drop in replacement set that features common aftermarket speaker sizes to tap into the existing wiring for the Premium Audio speakers in the dash.
4) Rear subwoofer enclosure to work with or without the center console
- There is quite a bit of space between the seats and the rear bulkhead. It'd be awesome to see an option for adding even a small 8" subwoofer or something like that in this area.
5) Dead Pedal Grip in "Pedal Kit"
- The Pedal Kit shown in the Slate Maker doesn't change the dead pedal area of the floorboard at all. Some added grip & texture would be nice to include. Not a big deal.
Let me know what you all think about these option ideas, or if you have some of your own. This Truck seems like an awesome playground for customization.
