Does it matter while storing the pod if the slide is out or in?

i store mine closed.  this reduces breaches under the slide to allow critters, bugs, dirt, etc to get in.  hogone

We don't have a choice. Ours is in a fully enclosed storage compartment and there's no room to extend the slide-out and still get in the door.

I have mine under a Costco carport and leave the slide open. No problems so far with doing this.

We keep ours in as well, snakes, bees, flies, mosquitoes can find their way inside via the slide underneath, at in our neck of the woods.  Don't like those surprises, especially the snakes, even though they aren't poisonous, they can still scare you.
