The new Tesla Model Y, aka Juniper, has won the hearts and minds of automotive enthusiasts, critics, designers, and engineers across the globe.
As we all know, Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk is a fan of the arcade game era’s easter eggs, so one should expect them from a Tesla vehicle. Although in recent years, the frequency of these hidden easter eggs has declined, after all, it’s still Musk’s Tesla.
The new Tesla Model Y has a unique rear-end design. The first one for a mainstream production car to have an entire rear light strip that glows the road behind it, especially during dark hours.
But as we spoke of Tesla Easter Eggs earlier, a hidden feature of this rear puddle light was discovered by a Tesla owner.
The above video by a Chinese Tesla Model Y owner surfaced on Elon Musk’s social media platform X, showing the easter egg hidden in its rear red puddle light bar.
As the vehicle moves forward, the reflection of the Tesla Model Y‘s rear light strip turns into a glowing Tesla “T” symbol. The dark environment makes it much clearer as the car moves forward.
The Tesla ‘T’ created on the ground looks like it has been applied a blur filter in a photo editing software, but it also looks cool and interesting.
What’s much more interesting is that Tesla’s Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen and VP of Engineering Lars Moravy appeared on multiple online automotive shows like Jay Leno’s Garage and with Sandy Munro, but never revealed this easter egg.
