Just what it says on the tin. For reasons unknown, the outermost sections of the rear lightbar/taillights will occasionally flash while the truck is parked. This happens both at home (when GearGuard is off) and away from home (when GearGuard is on)

It isn’t really a problem or anything, I’m just curious if anyone knows what it means. The light in question is circled in red

I've noticed it too since the W19 update. My guess was the proximity lock is still picking you up, and they didn't disable the brake light flash.

It has happened on all 3 OTAs I have run since owning the truck, I don't think it is associated to .19.

I still have not gotten a confirmation for what it is telling me thou. Not a problem, so I have not bothered CS or service, figured the forum would come though eventually 🙂

I only started noticing it after the first update I received (whatever was before .15) but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t happening before 🤷‍♂️

I’ve also not bothered CS or the service people, since it doesn’t really seem to be a problem. More just a quirk, I suppose

I see it as I walk up to the truck. I just assumed it was normal, confirmation of it picking up your bluetooth?

It happens on my truck as well as the Loaner R1T that I currently have. I only have the key fob for the loaner and my phone is not used as a key for it. So it is not related to the phone key thing.

I've noticed this since delivery in March. I have mentioned it to my Guide but she had no explanation.

At first I thought it was a visual warning that GearGuard is in (Teslas in Sentry Mode will flash their lights if you get too close) but since it still does it even when GearGuard is off, I’m out of ideas
