As the site points out, the vehicle has a lot in common with a kit car, except that the base model is ready to drive. Another thing that I hadn’t thought about was that the electronics are reduced a minimum, no gps (use your own phone), no stereo (use your own phone and speakers). It does have backup cam (required by law in new cars), air conditioning, and cruise control with automatic braking. So a lot basics are covered. And one mention that I like was that the bed was big enough for a sheet of plywood. Hoping that means 4x8, now that would nice.
Most of what you wrote about the Slate is right in my wheelhouse. I don't NEED or WANT a lot of the gizmos forced on buyers today. My only beef so far is that I would like a model with a larger bed. I don't believe the model shown is 4' x 8'.
