Did anyone notice there's two sets of tail lights on the Leak Images ?

One normal set of tail lights are with the tail gate up located above the bumper.

The second set is required for when the tail gate is down, and unable to see the 1st set.

Your arrows are pointing at reflectors.... lights are just above them.

I think the lights just above the bumpers are some kind of running lights.

One curious thing, I thought vehicles were required to have a center brake light? Perhaps that’ll go in the bar above the vault door? Lots of stuff going on with the tailgate so seems like that isn’t a great place.

I don’t see a collapsed ramp in that tailgate.

The tailgate will suffice.

You're not required a center light when cargo obscures it.

We don't see a vault cover, either.

One thing I hope they avoid is animated tail lights and signal lights or weird shaped lights. Those look cute/ interesting for exactly 10 seconds before they become annoying.

I almost find Tesla’s too big/ blatant and I hope they are not crazy bright. My feeling on vehicle lights is they should be just big enough and bright enough to do their job and no more. After that, the bigger and brighter they are, the more annoying.

Center brake light in the middle of the tailgate fulfills all height and visibility requirements. When tailgate is down, it is not required.

Yeah I think most trucks have them in the back window so they can have cheap tailgates. Of course now they’ve turned tailgates into entertainment centers so they could just put the light there

I think it was so you could remove the tailgate...
