Amber rear turn signals?

[NigelM]

All of which adds up to me feeling like an idiot when I realize I've been driving for who-knows-how-long with my turn signals blinking.

Alzheimer's?

I absolutely prefer amber signals. It's hard for me to believe that Tesla added the strange curlicue in the tail light (compared to the sleeker-looking design prototype) and didn't put amber in there. Is that really true?

Has there been any update re: how the EU version will be outfitted to handle the rear amber requirement? In other words, will I be able to buy replacements for a US model?

We haven't seen any update on this.

I was told that the first EU test-drives would be somewhere very late 2012 or in the beginning of 2013.

Personally, I hate amber rear turn signals, hate following cars that have them and avoid buying cars with them. Amber is for front signal lights, red is for the rear. (I also hate those stupid rear fog lights that people insist on using in clear weather making it look like they're riding the brakes).

Like it or not, amber rear turn signals are safer because they're not easily confused with brake signals. Statistically, cars with red turn signals are more likely to be rear-ended and cause an accident. I'm still buying a Tesla despite this but I would have preferred amber turn signals.

Got to have amber turn signals. Spent a weekend and $500 doing that on my GTI.

I have a rear fog lamp. Actually installed it myself (when I changed my red turn signals to amber ). I use it to 'flash' people behind me (for various reasons friendly and not), when road spray on the interstate makes it hard to see the car in front of me, and of course heavy fog. But I hate that people put them on during the clear. Regular front fog lamps are bad enough when it is clear outside.

Mods, How about a Wiki List that people can add their name to a group purchase of 'euro style' amber tail lights? I'm not sure how to add that feature.

Please put my name on the list!

I'd love to have amber.
