can I get a fleet of ONE?
When I was talking to Christian from Slate at their in person event in SF in August, I think he said that was an option, to get the cargo version of the Slate. I was asking about getting the SUV kit without the seats. I think both are options. But I'm hoping for more details.

or the cargo top, but windowed.
rather not lose the space to the rollbar

I want the slant rear window top without roll bar or rear seats. I don't like the other top, except for it's removable sunroof.

Interesting. I actually wouldn't want it if it had 4 doors. I don't want a back seat either.
Agreed. I already have a four-door hybrid Maverick. It's not an either/or choice, it a both!

While nobody at this point knows for sure, I'm speculating that the Cargo version without seats will include the square back top with NO windows. There would be "blank plugs" where the windows would be located. I'm hoping that's not the case. I like the look of the windows with the understanding I can add the rear seat / rollbar in the future. A true "fleet vehicle" would normally carry cargo, service parts, etc. and windows would invite theft of expensive tools and components. I hope we can get clarity on this sooner than later.
