OTA Software Updates will be via phone app

[<3 Crank Windows]

Been listening to an Inside EV podcast this morning and they mentioned how OTA software updates will work. Here's the summary I pulled via AI:

• 📱 Innovative Minimalism: Slate's EV eliminates the need for a built-in infotainment system by providing a standard phone mount. Drivers simply dock their smartphones, which charge and integrate with the vehicle to show range information and navigate to charging stations.
  
  
• 🔄 Smart OTA Updates: Without an internet-connected system, Slate cleverly uses the driver's phone as the medium for over-the-air software updates. Updates are sent to an app on the phone, and when plugged into the vehicle, they are transferred to the car's systems.
  
  
• 🌐 No Constant Connectivity: The vehicle is not connected to the internet for security and simplicity. This feature can appeal to customers who are cautious about constant online tracking or prefer a more analog driving experience.
  
  
• 🎛 Basic Yet Functional Displays: Slate includes a small digital driver cluster behind the steering wheel that shows essentials like speed, range, and backup camera feed, ensuring essential information without the distraction of a big infotainment screen.

Here's the podcast (18:45 mark is where they start talking about phone app / OTA updates)
