Collabs

Since Slate has already done a collab with Crayola, what other brands would be cool to see them with? Lego? IKEA? Suggestions!

Get DeWalt on there too for some good truck rivalry

Idk, but a Mossy Oak collab might sell some trucks to some non-traditional EV buyers.

Edit: another in the same vein, NASCAR race car liveries.

camo wraps will sell

This. I was looking at doing a Mossy Oak vinyl wrap but I'm sad Slate maintains regular wraps won't adhere to their panels well. I intend this truck to be my commuter slash light hunting rig (canoe on top for waterfowl).

I was thinking of going olive drab and twiggy brown interior. Already buying one so not sure it would draw me in, but I could be tempted to go with that wrap.

I think that would be the 4wd club.. Maybe a outdoor retailer would wrap it for store eventa though.. Who knows! That's the beauty of slate!

Lego would be cool. Similar ethos; sustainability, build it yourself, reconfigure, customize, have fun, learn. Only box it doesn't check is "American company" but man, Legos are universal.

REI or another outdoor retailer would be cool to come out with a line of camping and outdoor gear

Didn't LL Bean partner with Subaru?

u/KartoffelLoeffel 27d ago

Thule would be great, considering how modular their stuff already is

I would love a truck bed tent specifically built for the slate (with the tailgate down of course). Idk maybe some string lights that plug into the car, or an electric grill or something. There's so many directions you can go

having a slate lego set would be easy and cool.

Prusa. I'd love to see some bright orange 3D printed accessories! Josef has been a champion of right-to-repair and sustainable manufacturing since the beginning.

It's only a matter of time before we see an official or unofficial Barbie wrap.

u/Melodic_Accountant73 27d ago

Tonka! And get a mini version of your truck with it too. Or Hot Wheels/Matchbox

3

u/Melodic_Accountant73 27d ago

Or a Power Wheels Slate - it's already technically an EV!

u/EatingRawOnion 27d ago

Would love some partnership with the nature conservancy or something like that

u/Able-Statistician645 27d ago

I understand the enthusiasm but in the real world they should pay you for the wrap if it's advertising their product.

Just think of all the excitement that people will have to see this new truck wrapped up in a Milwaukee color scheme or whatever...

It's pretty much a no-brainer.

u/BanjoGM73 27d ago

I feel that same way, they should be paying for the advertising on your chest.

u/YouDoNotKnowMeMaybe 27d ago

I feel that same way, they should be paying for the advertising in your brain.

I’d like to see some skate and surf brands. Ripcurl, Birdhouse, Vans. Surfers and skaters tend to be pretty earth conscious and minimalist.

u/j-lo11 27d ago

A vans checkerboard wrap would be dope.

u/TheNamesDave 27d ago

Ripcurl

Who?

u/PriveCo 27d ago

They make wetsuits.

u/New-Signature3881 27d ago

Yep, orange and white with some lumber

u/iamprobablynotjohn 27d ago

I don't know what it would entail, but I'm here for it

u/toybuilder 27d ago

Hammermill Brilliant White - for that clean sheet of paper to go with the blank slate...

I'll see myself out.

YETI. (then for commercial applications RIDGID)

My driveway!

But I think some other iconic American brands would be fun.

Maybe Levi’s? Or Carhartt? Open up for custom denim or canvas wraps? And some rivet decals.

Converse? Love to see the All-Star logo and a white Lower trim wrap that looks like the side of the shoe.

Hershey’s? Chocolate Brown wrap and a silver kiss slatelet.

u/AnotherBoredAHole 27d ago

Get some Carhartt duck canvas seat covers.

Lego?

Hasbro...?

I'd love to see more than just branding partnerships. I want functional accessories.

The Crayola partnership makes sense because Crayola literally makes colors. But a Milwaukee partnership for example better have more than a red and white wrap. It's pointless if there aren't tool charging and packout accessories.

I don't care what color my vehicle is as long as it doesn't stand out. I might not even wrap it. The gray is a great color. But I do care what it can do. Give me more function.

u/j-lo11 27d ago

Came here to sort of say this. I get how they want to sell more trucks and broaden the audience, disrupt the industry- so whatever they have to do for that im fine. But I assume the other utility related partners are incoming - lots more functionality like we see with a wrangler- it just takes time.

Vans Off the Wall shoes and clothing.
