From @makooy's Instagram account, the last two show Grabber Blue under overcast skies.


Still a very bright color! Definitely has more richness and character than the old Grabber Blue.

Thanks for sharing! That is an awesome video. Totally intrigued by those blinking IR sensors (I assume) on the steering column. Part of the driver monitoring system for the eventual self-driving OTA?

The driver monitoring camera is infrared instead of visual spectrum, so it can work when you're driving at night. Those are the IR LEDs to light up your face. His GoPro camera sees them, but you won't.

No eventual self-driving OTAs for this car. Just driver assists like hands-free driving.

I also read somewhere that by using IR the sensors will be able to watch your eyes through sunglasses, which are optimized to block visible and UV.

Anyone ever thought about the long-term affects of staring at IR sensors that close to your eyes for potentially hours at a time? Just thinking out loud.
