I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, and it will probably get lost in the excitement over the 5.9 firmware release ;-) But here goes...
Last week I was charging my S85 at the Tejon Ranch SC in the California Central Valley. A new red S85 pulled in next to me and plugged in and my wife and I started chatting with the very nice couple from Clovis CA who had just received their Model S and were using an SC for the first time.
We were standing to the rear of the cars and suddenly my wife says to the other couple "Your right taillight just flashed once!" (she could not tell if the front right turn signal also flashed but she does think that the left rear taillight did not flash) I did not see it because I was facing away from the cars, but this struck me as very unusual since we were all standing outside our cars.
The woman we were talking to said something like "Sure that's called a 'wink' and when two cars are close to each other they do it automatically".
I had never heard of or witnessed this Model S "wink" behavior. I have searched the TMC forums and the Tesla company website forums and find nothing about it except this topic at Get your WINK ;-) on | Forums | Tesla Motors titled "GET YOUR WINK ;-) ON". But it does not seem to be describing what my wife saw.
I welcome your comments...
