Image:Knight Rider 2008 01.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It should be addressed whether this new series is a re-interpretation/re-imagining or is a continuation of the continuity.
Admittedly I have no legit source to back this up as the source is an apparent insider that is unverifiable but has posted legitimate info in the past before it was announced. The article that is used as a reference should not be taken seriously as what they have listed does not accurately reflect the new car's actual abilities, while I know some are true (the ones that have been confirmed by other sources), others should be taken with a grain of salt as apparently the producers were messing around and coming up with "ideas" on what the new KITT could do but not serious as PM apparently took it, it's especially apparent as you get further down the list with things such as "1000-Watt Quadraphonic Stereo System". They've also made mistakes on the original KITT's abilities or excluded them in the comparison list, most notable is there being no mention of Turbo Boost. The article really shouldn't be used as a reference in my opinion even if the sillier things are excluded from what is listed here. PHOENIXZERO ( talk) 11:02, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
What I think is ironic is half the stuff KITT can do (or supposedly can do) - high speed internet access - GPS tracking - infared nightvision - hybrid engine - can be found as standard equipment on most Cadillacs today. Yeah, they have yet to include optical camouflage but hey, at least half the list has been knocked out already. :) Cyberia23 ( talk) 16:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
The villain was "Blackriver Security" (a company with contracts in Iraq), a very obvious reference to Blackwater... AnonMoos ( talk) 06:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I think the fact that KITT can heal itself from impacts and bullet-holes should be mentioned under the 'Knight Industries 3000' section. -- 68.4.73.34 ( talk) 19:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
The new 2008 Knight Rider has direct connections to the 1990s NBC series Viper. Viper was about a crime-fighting task force who worked with the government and a special morphing car. What's the new KR about again? Oh, right. Additionally, it is important to note that the Knight Rider 2000 film, which starred the Hoff, has had it's plot elements ignored in the production of this new one. This is important due to continuity. -- Erroneuz1 ( talk) 23:40, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
(undent) It has already been determined that there appears to be no reliable source for your assertion that there is a connection so it can't go in the article. That's the end of that. You've confirmed that you're now seeking somebody's opinion and that is general discussion. As I said, if you want his opinion, ask on his talk page. General discussion is subject to removal as it's inappropriate content. -- AussieLegend ( talk) 22:05, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Originally, this article gave Mike Traceur's age as 23, which every other online reference still maintains. What's the rationale/source for the change to 28? -- TimPendragon ( talk) 04:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
In the screenshot of Mike's driver's license on KITT's dashboard it says that his birthday is in June of 1983 that would make him 24 or 25 depending on when the movie was set in 2008. Coincidentally (or perhaps not) June 1983 is exactly 9 months after the September 1982 premiere of the original Knight Rider. Perhaps indicating that Jennifer (Mike's Mom) had just conceived right before the accident that transformed Michael Arthur Long into Michael Knight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.194.152.85 ( talk) 19:38, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Any particular reason Susan Gibney was not credited as part of the cast as Jenny, Mike Traceur's mother? I was going to add her but wasn't sure if she was omitted for a reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.229.9.245 ( talk) 05:34, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Will Michael Knight be in more episodes or was the torch passed on? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.128.154.240 ( talk) 16:11, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
IMDB's page has it as "Traceur". The official NBC page has it as "Tracer". I think in this case, the official page trumps the other sites. I haven't had a chance to look at the actual credits, but unless they differ from the NBC page, in which case a choice would have to be made, I think it's best to keep it as "Tracer". -- Fru1tbat ( talk) 15:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
The KITT heading showed that the Knight 3000 morphs into SPM, which is factually inaccurate. SPM actually provides a power boost to the Knight 2000 that enables it to travel faster than in non-SPM form. However, the morph of the Knight 3000 does not appear alter the power output of the car. It simply functions to give the car a lower (and more performanced-based) profile in order to improve its handling at higher speeds. In other words, it gives itself a body kit. This does not mirror the functionality of SPM aside from the profile chances. It seems to me that calling it "morphing into SPM" makes it fairly inaccurate. I didn't make the change myself since this will likely draw a discussion; any thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.223.20.120 ( talk) 16:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Anyone have a definitive source for whether the cars used were actually GT500KRs or just dressed-up GTs? How about a picture under the hood of the actual cars used? I don't want to change/add that without something other than Jalopnik to back it up. Andy Christ ( talk) 23:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Knight 3000 KITT.PNG is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

Question, why does this have it's own separate article when it is just a pilot episode, albeit an extended one? This should be merged with Knight Rider (2008 TV series). MisterShiney ✉ 14:21, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
