Spotted in the Wild

Looks cool, but I’m not a fan of brake lights / turn signals that are in the lower bumper instead of where you think they would be. (Where the marker lights / light bar is) A lot of Kia’s and Hyundai models do this (and it’s confusing to drivers.

The lower blinker is awesome IMO. When it's in the same housing, the brake and turn signal can't be on at the same time, which I'd argue gives bad signals (no pun intended). The only reason having it lower could be an issue is if you are tailgating, to which I say stop tailgating.

That’s not true, tons of cars have separate blinkers and brakes in the same housing.

But when the blinker activates, the brake light for that side doesn't initiate, only the other side.

That is literally not true. Tons of cars have independent blinkers and brakes in the same light that work at the same time. Stop downvoting me because you don’t know what you’re talking about.

This isn’t true in many cars, even in some Teslas that have a separate amber turn signal lights… Objectively dumb placement on the cybercab here.

This literally is true as the majority of manufactures moved to a single bulb many years ago.

no rear glass?

Is that the model Y 6 seater?

Cybercab

I have had multiple cars that this isn’t the case. I’m just arguing that they exist, which is easier to prove than your claim. Toyota Tacoma has had this. My C5 A6 had this. Your source of a bronco not having this does not mean all cars are like the bronco.

it was deemed unnecessary for a driverless cab

Looks sexy.

Of course they can be on at the same time, if the US actually used proper amber turn signals like the rest of the world.

These terrify me. They are too goth. Terror on wheels. It looks dangerous to any pedestrian. Run u down and keep on going. Description is 😑. The driver description? Just ◼️ .

Isn’t the point to let the driver behind to see ahead as well?

This is where they are supposed to be though. Some people did spot some in the wild in San Francisco.

The current Model 3 and Model Y have amber turn signals that can be on at the same time as the brake light in the same housing.

When have you ever cared to look in the rear windshield of the car in front of you?

I fell in love 😍

Lol.. Willy Wonka went out to do some shopping.

For that to be effective we’d need to outlaw rear window tint and mandate that vehicles all be the same height.

I think the lack of steering wheel and pedals might be a larger impediment. There’s no reason a consumer can’t buy and drive a car without a rear window. See the Polestar 4. Or any cargo van.

All the time. It gives me advances warning if something is happening ahead of the car I'm following.

 That license plate. Anyway, ... there is no 3rd brake light.

Exactly. Lack of rear window means nothing. You don’t legally need a rear window. Only side mirrors

The person you responded to isn't saying that zero cars share the same bulb for turn and brake signals so posting examples of that doesn't contradict them or their preference for multiple bulbs in the same housing.

Should have been 4 seaters.

I can honestly say I’ve never done that and we were never taught that in driving school

Why? Polestars have cars on the market right now without a rear window.

The reason the brake lights are lower is so they can be visible when the tailgate is up. If you have lights on the tailgate then you need fixed secondary lights somewhere. Tesla is cheap and only wants to pay for one set of brake lights.

GEY

But side mirror are a must.

Legally yes.

Wholeheartedly agree. these will be nice for commuting to and from work, but what if you are a family of four trying to go to the airport? Nobody wants to ride in two separate cars, so they are going to end up choosing an Uber or a Waymo instead

I can see them looking down at their phone instead of driving when the light turns green :(

If you're more than 2, why can you not order a Model S/3/X/Y?

Or....a model Y. Between 95 and 98% of total Taxi drives have 2 or 1 passengers. It would be totally stupid to have a 4 seater as the base car.

Good point, I forgot about the Ys that are already being used as taxis. I wonder if they'll eventually remove the steering wheels when the safety drivers are unnecessary?

Yup.I think this is the plan.

Everyone's back glass is tinted today anyways. So that has not been a thing for decades.

No you can't. Everyone's back glass is tinted.

Wtf are you on about. Blinkers and brake lights aren't even the same colour.

Not even remotely true.

you can't see through my back glass. So what does it matter if you can't see through this robotaxi's glass?

When can people take a ride?

Lmao I had to go back and check when I saw this. Gey.

Trucks and panel vans don't necessarily have this though, so idk why a short car would need it

They are the same exact light on my 2018 model 3.

They often are in the US, and sometimes even share the same bulb. But this isn’t the only way to do it, and other current model Teslas have separate amber turn signals even in the US.

If you live in a sane country they are. America isn’t sane, so we have red brake lights *and* turn signals. Totally not unsafe or confusing in the slightest.

Looks sick. I kinda want one if it comes with a wheel? Lmao

These should have glass roofs. Best application for it since you can actually take your eyes off the road when riding in one.

This is the new Model Y? No rear glass?

Where are the huge panel gaps?

For now...

hopefully not for long.

Mirrors are a dead giveaway, human drivers still.

Those aren't side mirrors. They're impallers

Did they scrap the light bar in the back?

The brake lights/rear tail light is aweful like the cybertruck

That’s why everywhere in the world outside North America requires amber lights for turn signals front and rear, it’s always a separate lamp from the brakes

job description to train those types of cars have the person sit on the passenger seat and look over it so yes basically human drivers still

Cybercab

I don't think there's much point in actually having a separate model as a two seater cab. An adapted Model Y might have been a good bet instead.

Good point but cybercabs will probably be the premium tier like getting your own uber for a single rider . As the person below commented , the Model Y will be used for groups above 2 and eventually in time the Tesla Bus/Van or whatever it’s called will take bigger groups.

How ate they getting away with no high level brake light? Yes, I know there is no rear glass, many vehicles don't have rear glass, (mostly vans) but they still have high level brake lights.

Beauty

Passenger has to be able to see traffic and bicyclists before they open the door.

Have two and four seaters could be less efficient. It means more cars are needed to ensure a car with the probably seat count is nearby. Otherwise, people will have a to wait longer for a ride and the vehicle will need to drive farther to meet the riders.

They look a lot taller from the rear than the side profile makes them seem

Various Indo-European languages pronounce the number six as Seks/Sechs/Seis/Sex… ie. "Sex-ey".

They work better when they're on the wheels so they spin around

I think they made the tops and trunk of these super heavy duty since people tend to trash driverless cars. Like people vandalize Waymo’s a lot. Jumping on them etc. So I think they made these cybertruck style for that purpose

They look like cylons

it looks so cheap with the light so far down

Damn thats ugly.

If these ever come north there will be people posting videos of rando’s scraping snow off the back windscreen at a red light and being even more pissed that there is no window.

95% of rides are 2 people or less

Also more difficult to see if you're in a truck and city traffic.

These must be the 2 I saw yesterday in the morning.

Hi how are you doing kindly texts me on here now 🚀💌💌💌

They kjnda look ugly lmao

Love the color although unexpected. It looks like it has a tint of green in it.

No high mounted 3rd brake light?

I firmly believe that if you build a car with something near the top that looks like a brake light, but it doesn't illuminate, you should not be allowed to sell it, and you should be flogged... repeatedly.

This way you can't see that you are about to be rear ended by someone that expects the brake lights to be up high where those brake-light-looking things are.

They had similar issues with the cybertruck, fixed it with a software update. It clearly has the lights there, they can fix it if it’s a problem.

What are they

If people knew how to drive the location of the turn signal and stop lights shouldn’t matter. I’m a pretty new Tesla driver and people drive teslas worse then a Prius

But for pax experience?

Idk, I've never looked out the back window of my ubers i guess
