I think every new owner should receive a box of Slate cookies with their purchase to reward us for our patience 🙂

This is a brilliant idea ! Fits the creative theme of Slate perfectly. Making the truck how you like it.
AND sending out the 3D files for people to practice before making stuff for the real thing. Applause, standing ovation on this one Slate.
For Easter, can we do Slate Auto egg wraps ?

I don’t see a disclaimer so I’ll be the one to remind everyone that 3D printed parts have layers, making them inherently not food safe. It’s recommended to use plastic wrap (Saran wrap or cling wrap) between the cookie cutter and dough or to treat the cookie cutter as single time use only.

Thanks! the lab where I'm having mine printed told me the same thing.

The other issue, even if you use "food safe" filament, running it through a printer with various plastics and metals, including likely brass nozzles and other parts, and so it is then no longer "food safe"
You would need to replace these parts with food safe equivalents, like the proper grade of stainless for the metal parts.
Is it really going to be a health issue if you print a cookie cutter and make some cookies and eat them? probably not, but it could be.

  • Slate CEO: "We don't have a truck yet! People are starting to ask questions.".
  • Slate Marketing: "Don't worry. Our fanboys are easily distracted. We'll give them a cookie cutter. That will occupy them until January.".
  • Slate CEO: "No way that works".
  • Slate Marketing: "Elon's been doing it for a decade. And Tesla stock sells at a 300 P/E ratio, while other automakers sell at a P/E of 12".
  • Slate CEO: "Ship that cookie cutter NOW!".

Not trying to simplify things, but all Slate needs to do is focus on one style (pickup), one color, and one motor to transition into production. No options, as they will be added on later. Just plain vanilla. This is “task adaptation” in its purest form, when individuals are asked to perform the same task over and over, they complete it faster and more efficiently. Anyone who has worked in a production environment can appreciate the lack of variation, which leads to errors on the assembly floor.

Stamp them out like cookies. Anyone see the irony here?
