Are the brake lights of CT too small?

[MyFirstElectricTesla]

Any after market products/hacks that are longer and brighter?

Looking for the same. They’re borderline too high tech for most ICE vehicle drivers to realize when they’re activated.

Dear Sir,

With respect to the inquiry which you have thought proper to lay before us, I have only to observe that, however one might be inclined to examine its several aspects with care, the conclusion to which I am brought admits of little uncertainty and less dispute. To state the matter in terms as plain as the case will permit: no, they are not.

I thank you for your inquiry, and have the honor to remain, your obedient servant.

Sir,

Your recent communication has been received and noted with all the attention due to any gentleman undertaking to make himself understood. As to your observation that you possess only a GED, I beg leave to assure you, Sir, that the foregoing was composed entirely in the King’s English, though not, I should have thought, so far removed from the common vernacular as to defeat the understanding of any attentive reader, whatever the particular dignities or deficiencies of his formal course of study may have been.

If, however, in its structure, expression, or general cast, it has appeared to you burdened with more ceremony than substance, or attended by a degree of verbal elaboration in excess of your present appetite, I can only regret that what was intended as plain sense conveyed with proper order and civility should have been mistaken for something requiring more scholarship than ordinary patience. I trust, nevertheless, that upon a calmer reading, its meaning may yet disclose itself without the necessity of translation into a coarser dialect.

I have the honor to remain, Sir, Your obedient servant,

In all seriousness though, I have almost been rear ended here in Charlotte on a couple of occasions. Both times it appeared that the driver behind me failed to realize that I was braking.
Notwithstanding the fact that people are also on their cellphones quite a bit, I do wish there was a hitch light option for CT like the one I have for my Explorer ST.
Diode Dynamics 3-in-1 running, reverse and brake light pod. Super bright and extremely useful.

I propose a duel. With pistols. At sunrise.

There are so bright though! This is the first time I’ve heard anybody raise this concern -ever, anywhere. Also, I think all the animation makes them stand out quite a bit.

 

[funnbobby]

You would think so. But like the other guy said, people are fucking dumb.

If you're really worried just get this:

Are the brake lights of CT too small?

The brake lights are of normal size. They only look small by comparison to the huge truck.

My understanding that you're saying about size, not brightness.

Correct me if I'm wrong: I believe there was a rule/law decades ago US requires to have a third brake light.

BTW, to me they are both small and dim. Especially driving at night with long red light in the back and when braking it turns off with 2 brakes lights turn on.

They definitely look tiny compared to the size of the truck. I've been worried about people not seeing them in bright sun. Just look for light bars that tap into the trailer hitch wiring.

People just gawk at the CyberTruck and not realize it’s slowing down. When I press the breaks I can see them shine in my mirrors and cam. Headlights on activates the full bar. Think headlights off, it’s just the two squares tha light up. I have no complaints & insurance. It’s nearly time for a fresh warranty anyway.
