I never tooted about this but Consumer Reports picked up on my video and made a more professional stink about my car's brake lights!

And now! Hyundai just announced they will do a "field service campaign" to fix the issue starting in July. Yay!

In Consumer Reports' tests, the brake light on some Genesis, Hyundai, and Kia EVs don’t always illuminate as the vehicle decelerates during regenerative braking.

@TechConnectify I saw a truck recently that had mind-blowing brake lights which made me immediately think of you. It was a fuel tanker and the back side of the tank was entirely surrounded by a large ring that lit up when braking. It was quite impressive.
