it's a more like a rubbery part, not plastic. What's the purpose for it? Only Karim Habib (head of design) knows...
How did you discover this?I discovered it could actually be the outlet for the cabin-air, as there is no outlets between the chassis and tailgate. You would think it could have been done a bit more elegant. But anyhow I just dig this EV![]()
I highly doubt it. There doesn't appear to be any open area, certainly not enough to allow proper venting. And the outlet wouldn't likely be exposed and facing up to allow water to enter.I discovered it could actually be the outlet for the cabin-air, as there is no outlets between the chassis and tailgate.

Here is a video of the rear indicators over in EuropeI think it’s leftover from the other regions that have the lower sequential turn signals in the adjacent plastic trim pieces.
I hate the red-on-red design as well, don't know why that became the standard over there. At least over here the moment you see red you know it means stop. Rather than requiring a moment for the brain to work out if they're stopping or turningman, I would definitely pay for those rear indicators. The US Red On Red design angers me somewhat
I moved here from Cardiff about 10 years ago so there are some....serious personal feelings about the lack of driving experience, lane discipline etc over here (Also it's possible to get a driving license in some states without taking a driving test. You just have to take something equivalent to a theory test and then your parents can sign off saying they gave you tuition) - Depending on the state some drivers are Hyper Aggressive, and yes there are plenty of accidents. I don't know how well it correlates to the red on red design by I imagine it might play a factor. Something else is that in Texas at least, people would rather die than miss an exit. As in, people will cross 4 lanes of traffic to get to their junction, and will usually do so literally right at the point the lane begins to diverge from the highway / interstate etc. It's terrifying - here's an example I found randomly on youtube .I hate the red-on-red design as well, don't know why that became the standard over there.

Interesting thought, are accidents higher over there first in the morning when people's brains are waking up and the slightest delay could be enough for an accident even very minor? Never looked into the data on that if there is any
There are enough US Dashcam videos out there that do make me wonder about driving over there. It makes our dashcam videos bland - which I suppose is a good thing.
