Slate 80s mods

I love how Slate brings back that 80s/90s mini truck vibe. If it hits the market, i'm definitely going for a 80s-style build. Anyone else been sketching up custom designs beyond what Slate has shown?

Slate's classic proportions are perfect for 80s builds. Some popular modifications are period-appropriate wheels, a lowered suspension, side graphics, and various bed accessories. For some build inspiration, be sure to check out mini truck forums.

Slate nails that 80s/90s mini truck feel. If it drops, I'm going full retro build. Anyone else working on designs beyond what they've revealed?

Yeah, thats exactly the style i'm going for. I've been eyeing some period wheels and thinking about lowering it a bit. Any favorite mini truck forums or builds you'd recommend checking out for ideas?

Chasing that 80s mini truck vibe is awesome, but let's be honest, most people will just bolt on cheap retro stickers and call it "custom." True throwback builds take way more effort than decals

I haven't seen any mock ups of the 80's yet. Anyone have pictures yet?

Slate is tapping into a market that's been ignored for decades. The spirit of the 80s/90s mini truck was all about personalization and utility, and the Slate seems poised to bring that back in a modern, electric package.

Happy sketching, and I can't wait to see what the community comes up with when these finally hit the road.
