I don't know that I could do much better if I were trying to shoot video 
while driving (which is not only awkward but hazardous, IMO).  He should 
have rotated it 90 degrees before posting, though, since most of the clip 
was shot in landscape mode.

I think Cor probably nailed it on the taillights.  Interesting if Tesla's 
are indeed full on when braking.  Most factory LED taillights are never full 
on, but are pulsed even when at full brightness.  This lets the drivers  
overdrive the LEDs for more apparent brightness, without overheating them.  
The eye's persistence of vision fills in the off-time unless you or the 
lights move.  (Interesting that a circuit to do this is presumably cheaper 
than higher-native-brightness LEDs.)

I wonder what the oddball structures on each side of the roof are.  Perhaps 
they have something to do with the gull-wing doors (which I fear will cause 
Tesla no end of warranty problems).
