I like to make a proposal. A centralized thread/sub forum for discussion of non Slate accessories and mods.
So far this forum has numerous posts scattered about discussing these things. Too often in an unrelated item. Do believe I’m guilt of that.
Not a place to discuss what are clearly Slate concerns, AWD, 4 door, longer bed, those types of things requiring Slate engineering and detract from getting initial truck into production.
Not a place to whine about what you can get in a competitor product or don’t get with Slate.
Good place for the DYI er to suggest either something built or modded by the consumer or maybe suggestion for a low volume 3rd party that support DYI. 3D printed things
Good place to discuss other 3rd party, such as Donmar who have an interest in installing sun roofs, not DYI
Some ideas:
The addition of solar panels have been brought up in a number of fashions, augmented milage, augmented the 12 volt system, DYI, 3rd party. This discussion could benefit by sharing.
Front bench seat. While I mostly think this would be a Slate concern down the road, perhaps there is a DYI approach early on. Perhaps someone sees the production specs and can package a well thought out approach. Or maybe a solution offered by a 3rd party business.
Connectivity: Simply accessing internet via your phone will suffice for many. I want to explore an independent solution such as AT&T Mobley that provided cellular via OBD ll . Likely newer better available now.
If this were to catch on, perhaps the administrator would expand to a sub forum rather than a single thread.
