Third Brake Lights

[SteveD62]

Do we know if there is a third brake light?

 

[atx_ev]

yes, required by law.

It has moved in the customizer, at least on the pickup, from the top of the rear window to right above the tailgate handle.

This is from a facebook post that someone took pictures of a Slate on June 12th at Moto Social in Los Angels. I don't know if this is an actual production model. It does look "cleaner"... I noticed though that from the rear picture, it has the 3rd break light above the handle like we said about in the customizer but it also still has the one in the rear window. I do like it up in the window better than down on the tailgate.

Also, I remember in the first Slate videos on YouTube it didn't say "Slate" at the back lol. Always bothered me a bit because it was a missing opportunity for product awareness, I feel better now that it's there. Lol

You're right. I feel like at one time it was just embossed on there as well, no color change or anything.

Yeah, I think I remember that too. I'm glad they fixed it but I wish it was bigger, Toyota got it right with the Hilux, it need to say "I'm here, I'm cool and this is my name".

The early pre-production trucks they showed didn't have anything on the tailgate except for the name embossed on the handle. The rest of the tailgate was flat, perfect for wrapping.

I'm glad they fixed it but I wish it was bigger, Toyota got it right with the Hilux, it need to say "I'm here, I'm cool and this is my name".

We couldn't be further apart on this opinion. 😂
I'd be happy if they left it smooth, but understand the desire for some branding.

Lol that's alright. I just love that old school truck look of the Toyota with the huge branding, the beauty about the slate is that we can customize it how we like it 😍🛻

If that is just vinyl I'm removing it...

Big names and emblems splashed around a truck are ugly and gaudy. I would rather have no name and people scratch their heads or have to ask you what it is. Charging at Tesla Superchargers I bet will be a crowd attraction anyway for a while
I will put these stickers on mine
