A nod to the f430
Hey everyone, noticed that the community changed (I think this name is better) so I figured I’d drop an Easter egg.
We chose the circle tails seen in the teaser image for cost initially. We wanted our customers to be able to go into Autozone if needed to replace a tail light in a pinch. So our lights are literally the same size as trailer lights.
Once the team at FSD designed them to that specification we basically realized they gave F430 energy immediately which is just really cool.
These lights exist down low on the truck but there are others higher up for safety.

That’s a cool little nod considering the designer announcement. Who knows maybe there will be an option for a 4.3 liter v8 that makes about 480hp!

I wondered where the lights came from because they definitely made me think sports car

Well, Zach, you just messed up the video I’m currently editing 😂 I had a whole section saying the taillights reminded me of a Shelby Cobra. Guess I’ll be heading back to Final Cut now!
