Looks like '60s wallpaper is making a comeback(!)

I think the camera may have failed to capture all the rear lighting on the truck. Another night time video on this forum shows a full width running light. The CT has reflectors on both sides of the license plate and while the reflective background of the plate shows well in this video, the small reflectors are evident at times. I think the night vision of this camera is the problem. Here is a still frame from the Palo Alto night video

The wrap industry will be happy.

Also, there may be opportunity for the pesky graffiti artist to earn a lucrative, honest living.

Better pic friends.

Thank you - these portrait video bandits . . . . Sheesh.

Is it an image artifact or does this look like it has turn signal indicators on the outside mirrors? First time I have seen that.

we'd know for sure if the driver had bothered to indicate that lane change.

It is *very* poor by today's standards of making cars easy to see. Especially in inclement weather. I think this is a major fail actually. They weighted/went_for style instead of function and safety.

Why do we Tesla owners always find fault no matter what???

It's hard to get a good representation of taillights at night time with the camera on a phone. You have to get just the right exposure. It probably is going to be just fine in person.

We’ll see how many CTs get rear ended by other Teslas on FSD…
Camo, atypical shape, small lights.
I hope part of the total testing process includes the computers learning to identify the CT.

I hope it does have indicators in the mirrors. Way better for visibility being higher up, other vehicles can see it through the windows of other cars. Pretty common in Europe for good reason.

I rented a YLR at the airport recently. A woman was asking across The crosswalk in front of me with her large suitcase at her side. The computer didn’t know what to make it it, so on the display it showed a trash can crossing in front of me. I couldn’t get my phone up quick enough because I was laughing so hard at the dancing trash can. I have no doubt all the others will get an update and a great graphic on the screen to represent the CT. But if not, maybe we’ll just be a traffic cone on our side.

With the dim rearward lighting y'all might want to rethink camo wraps lol

That is very interesting, considering that the entire premise of the Cybertruck is function over form. I doubt this prediction will come true.

Someone mentioned not seeing turn signals in the front of the CT when turning and that maybe it was just a pre-production thing, but aren't turn signals required on the front by law? Do they have to be visible from the front and the side or just from the front?

I see your point. I was suggesting they were using small aesthetics of little square/rectangle geometry to match their style and emphasis the massive SS.

I have to say that the rear lights are unimpressive in size and shape, but if they throw out enough light and are visible (and at that height that shouldn't be an issue) I am fine.
