Thanks!
So, there is definitely a light show when you start the car. It's pretty spectacular. For a second or so the car looks like an emergency vehicle. Some people would probably pay extra for that feature.

Now, I HAVE observed regular, small flickers every few minutes thereafter while idling in my driveway. I suspect the car rechecks the bulbs. I have not attempted to attach a GoPro to the car or ask someone to closely observe while following me at night to determine if this happens when under way.

I can say that my wife, who told me about the startup flashing, has followed for some distance at night and not seen the car flash while under way.
