What are your personal MUST HAVE Add-Ons/Accessories for your Slate?

Although many folks seem to like the factory steelies, including myself, I think a wheel upgrade and 20” tires is a personal must have for a more rugged look.

Every time I see them, I can’t help be reminded of ‘space saver spare tires.’ Just a full sized version. lol.

I think those are the way they are so they'll be decal-ready.

I'd prefer some holes for ventilation.

Ventilation for brakes is a thing, but if it's mostly using regenerative braking, I don't think that will be an issue. Larger more rugged looking tires will mean more rolling friction and less range. Actually the smooth steel wheels may also be to minimize wind resistance too.

Good point about Wind Resistance. I didn't think of that!

Combined with non-use of the brakes because of regen-braking, that makes those hole-less wheels look a hole not better.

Compared to what I'm driving now, the blank Slate is positively luxurious. aircon, Back up cam, heater with no weird smells, intermittent wipers, any thing else is just a bonus. I like the bench seat, but I really do slide around a bit. No must haves' just bring it and lemme drive it!

Well the main thing that appeals to me is the simplicity. But it is ripe for personalization.​

I need music and speakers for sure. Maybe just do it through an iPad/carplay. But I’m also liking that retro 90’s stereo that Panasonic is coming out with. so I hope there’s a single din mount available.​

I’m also thinking about running a window less cargo top for a sedan delivery look so I’m gonna need a convex mirror on the past side. or maybe I’ll run side view cameras..​

while I love steelies. Wheels will probably be the first change I make. We’ll see how low the factory lowering ends up being.​

Unless there's a meaningful cost savings to buy accessories upfront, I'd really like to try rocking a blank Slate for as long as possible and let it grow/change as true needs develop.

That said, my gut says speaker(s) will be top of the list.

Assuming it's very cheap will you be getting at min the bluetooth speaker mount instead of the premium speaker options? Personally I'm going to try it out since it's something very unique to this truck and still fits with the Kei Truck style Minimalism that the Blank Slate has going for it.

That lines up with how I'd like to do it, provided the power supply to the speaker doesn't look too unwieldy
