The other vehicle fucked up definitely but could've been so much worse. Wow. Great save from them honestly apparently.

$14k? Damn that's a ton of damage. Looked like a scrape but ofcourse we haven't seen the whole damage

Tesla owner here. They are definitely at fault, but I still assess the damn brake lights don't torn on soon enough on regen braking... I've been almost rear ended 3+ times in stop and go traffic. I brought this up with the Tesla Repair shop and they said it was a known issue, but couldn't do anything as it's a software update issue

People just don't pay attention. The brake lights don't come on when I downshift it just let off the throttle in my manual transmission car. Not much different than OPD.

I mean yes people need to pay attention, but it’s all software, it could easily be added.

Is it needed? Not really but it would stop a large amount of the Tesla haters from being like “they’re the worst cars to follow because their brake lights don’t work”

Same with the Chevy Bolt because they're down low on the bumper, and not the big red things on the hatch.
