Tesla Model Y's new feature lands driver in hot water from police officer
"Tesla Model Y received a slew of both interior and exterior upgrades when the company refreshed its best-selling vehicle last year. However, one of the more notable changes from an exterior perspective landed a driver in hot water with a local police officer, who was confused about the situation with the taillight bar and its ability to alert other drivers of a reduction in speed."
"Just got pulled over for my tail lights not being "on" i told the officer it's brand new. It has 1100 miles. I told him the red light bar is the taillight. The brake lights, both turn signals, and the red bar was on/worked. He told me that where the brake lights are, it should be illuminated there also. He gave me a warning and told me to get it fixed. Had anyone else had this kind of issue?"
The refreshed Tesla Model Y received multiple interior and exterior upgrades, including a full-width rear taillight bar. A driver in Indiana was pulled over because an officer believed the taillights were not illuminated, despite the red light bar, brake lights, and turn signals functioning. The officer told the driver the brake light areas should also be illuminated and issued a warning advising repair. The rear taillight bar is highly visible in both light and dark conditions and is intended to indicate braking and reduced speed while complying with regulatory lumen requirements.
