Center brake light different?

[BasilFawlty]

I have a 2021 Telluride with the “oval” badge. Because I have sometimes followed my wife while she drove the Telly, I have observed that when the brakes are applied, the center brake light above the rear door will flash.

However I have been behind a few newer Tellurides, with the new badging, and have noticed that when people in those cars apply breaks, the center brake light doesn’t flash like mine does.

Is this just a fluke or was there a design change in how that light operates?

Did your dealer, by chance, add the pulse system to your third brake light as an add-on?

If he did it was unbeknownst to me. I ordered mine from the factory but as it was a few days from the time it arrived at the dealer and when I was able to drive to Texas to pick up, I suppose that’s possible.

You already asked this question and answered it yourself.

I was getting a severe case of deja vu.
