Large glovebox capacity size demo: Less Tech Stuff = More Room For Stuff

Thanks! That is one of the suggestions from AI. The price range on these devices is crazy. $30 - $100+.

The more expensive ones probably have higher fidelity (better codecs, DACs, etc.).

Can you imagine the uproar should Slate decide to include a very basic radio?

Zero uproar if Slate follows its own philosophy: go to the Maker and add it to your build "IF" you want it.

There's no uproar that a $279 telematics module in the Maker. Won't be one for a Radio either. Especially if it is under $279. ;-)

Just call them "glove boxes" instead and with gloves in there, no rattling. Problem solved.

Coda thought: when I grew up in the midwest, we called it the "glove compartment." I'm not sure if that term is used anywhere else.

That was the term as a kid growing up in New England

Agreed. Choosing any addon from the Maker is not the same as Slate choosing/adding.

Yeah there would, because for all but a very small number of people it would not have the "right" features. Car audio is a "no win" because people have insanely strong preferences. Slate could put a bunch of effort into this and still end up with something that virtually no one would buy.

The Telematics module is a completely different animal because it's capabilities are dictated by the truck's design, not the desires of consumers. Only a minority will want it, but for those that do, Slate knows exactly what it needs to be.

So I'll actually be using this for truck stuff. I plan on using that space for:

• Hours and mileage logs
• Extra clean t-shirt
• Safety and PPE for my volunteers (masks, goggles, ear plugs, gloves)
• Durable snacks

Raiti’s Rides always evaluates storage space by the number of snacks it can accommodate. Love this guy!
