The Slate truck website has a little thing to customize one (ostensibly to get you to pre-order it) but I just treated it like a fun picrew
That said, yeah, I WOULD drive this
I wasn't sure what I was gonna do with it until I saw the orange stripe design for the side and then it all clicked into place
The one issue I have with these trucks is they have no integrated radio head unit. I understand why, it's an easy cost saver and most people use their phones anyway, but like. You gotta have a radio.
They're marketing this these as being extremely customizable tho so I wouldn't be surprised if one of those dash panels could come off and you could plonk a head unit in there
@coriander radios can interfere with the electronics of electric vehicles if you don’t do them right and a lot of EV manufacturers do not care enough to do them right and would rather leave out the radio

@Lady Oh that's fascinating, I had no idea
@coriander i think the problem is mostly just interference on the radio side and not anything on the engine side but i am not an electrical engineer
@Lady Either way it is an interesting thing I was entirely unaware of
