Tesla Model 3 testing CIPED’s damper system energy harvesting?

I was intrigued with this red and Yellow button. I noticed a similar button in the following CIPED video:

The CIPED (Compact Intelligent Powerful Electric Drivetrain) system from INSERO, Danmark,
is constructed around the technology for linear magnetic actuators and
is using SRM (Switched Reluctance Motors.)

The CIPED system allows to both:
- control the suspension system to provide an active dampening of the vehicle, and
- generate energy from the driving vehicle using energy harvesting.

No. Those are just E-Stop buttons (Emergency Stop) for when something goes wrong and you need to shut down the system.

So why there would be then a Tesla S at the beginning of the video?

I mean you could be right, but don’t base it simply on the e-stop buttons used in both cases.
These e-stop buttons are in pretty much all test vehicles from any manufacturer. I work on all kinds of machinery in different industries and these buttons are used all over the place.

And we’ve seen them in many different Tesla models. I've seen an S with one a few years ago.

This Model 3 looks to be a testing car for SAS (Smart Air suspension) and Dual Motor Drive configuration as announced by Elon Musk.
