    I like amber also, from Tesla's viewpoint, using red might be as a means to limit gray market cars rather than a cost savings measure.

    We have amber at the front, why not at the back also?

    Amber for me. It always amused me VW would bring over cars with red turn signals while the EU ones had amber. I always swapped them out.

    I meant historically and more generally for American cars. Supposedly green was a historically popular color of dash lighting also because it was the cheapest.

    Another vote for amber turn signals..


    Also amber for top (third) tailight on regen slowing. Red on all three for brake depression.

    The world loves to be deceived.

    Amber.

    We should all be flattered that Tesla asked him to come ask us. But really, this is a no-brainer.

    Agreed. This is a no-brainer. I don't understand why they would even consider putting red turning signals. It's unsafe.
