Yes, but it kind of depends on what you're towing. Generally you need to be able to see 200 feet behind the trailer with your mirrors. If it's a little utility trailer, regular mirrors are usually fine, but it also depends on how wide the towing vehicle is. The Slate is pretty small, but with such a low tow rating and low range, you're not pulling a giant box trailer. Maybe a small utility trailer or a motorcycle trailer.

@Weekly_Delivery_8349 happened by the Slate headquarters in Troy and spotted these in the parking lot.

Different style side mirrors on the separate prototypes.

Hope they work on the fit and finish those are some big gaps with those panels and the alignment needs to worked on looks like a cyber truck with those gaps

I don't mind the smaller mirrors. Looks about what the sportier trucks would have back in the day.

Seems like this would be an easy option for people to put on their blank Slate. Small mirrors as standard, but pick up the large ones for a few dollars and a slight hit on highway range.

I'm covered. I have brand new Ford truck mirrors that I bought new for my 1987 Ranger STX in 1987 ready to bolt on to my new Slate.

The best mirror option would be mirrors that are adjustable from inside the cab.
This! I don't really care what they look like, I just want to be able to adjust them without getting fingerprints all over the mirror glass. That would drive me nuts!
