When you buy a Slate Truck, you only pay for the tech you want, and Slate is taking that idea pretty far.
Slate offers that connection as a separate $275 Telematics Module.
It's important to understand the difference between Slate's app and its Telematics Module.
The Telematics Module makes the most sense for owners who want to access their Slate remotely.
The optional module will enable the truck to exchange information, though Slate hasn't specified what data the module will send or store.
