I sent Slate an email with my suggestion for the tailgate…. If their final production decision is to have embossed raised letters on the tailgate, at least offer a smooth unlettered tailgate body panel as an accessory that can replace the stock panel. I think that the supplier should be able to make unlettered body panels since that’s what Slate had in their original prototype.

This one looks like wrap over a cut vinyl logo on a flat panel. But is it representative of the current direction? We'll probably have to wait until our crack team of investigators returns from Huntington Beach.

I'm not sure I care either way. Part of me doesn't want it there since I don't like being a company's billboard/ad, but on the other hand I want them to do well, so.. competing priorities.

My belief is removing the company’s logo just makes me think they are ashamed they bought it. LOL
Dealer logos are a different story though.

According to a chat I just had with a rep from Slate on the website, this will be imprinted on the tailgate. She couldn't confirm how, but is planning to get back to me on it. 🤷‍♂️

In this case, they are one in the same. 🤣
