New Cybertruck video clip (from Cyber Rodeo 2022). Shows tail lights & reverse lights

This tailgate design is not going to work (one piece tailgate that covers the whole rear of the vehicle) because it does not leave enough taillight area if someone drives with the tailgate down. One reason current trucks look the way they do is you have to have a certain number of square inches of light area that is visible with the tailgate up or down and there are also some requirements about how much is visible from the side of the vehicle. The center brake light also needs to be above the other lights (something like at least eight inches) and visible with the tailgate down. They will end up with a more conventional rear light setup to get past the regulators.

If only there were a way to have the lights be visible when the tailgate is down.

That’s a pic if the original. There‘s a somewhat different design on one of the later prototypes, but basically the same idea.

The CT has wrap around lights at the front, and I have just noticed the side light at the rear.
There may even be a side light on the tailgate.. or the bar across the top will be bright enough.

Why would the down lamp have less space than a lamp aside the gate?
