No Big Thing - S1-E8
Other mistake: As KITT meets the pickup with the camper, it appears that KITT has no windshield.
No Big Thing - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: KITT tells Michael he is running low on gas. Before they changed to the view of his fuel gauge, it was on the 3rd bottom of the RPM indicator. When they change, it's put on the top just below the RPM indicator, and changes again to the 3rd bottom.
Continuity mistake: When Michael drives by in K.l.T.T, if you look closely you will see that K.I.T.T has a normal steering wheel and a fake dash with no monitors. (00:32:20)
Continuity mistake: Watch the scene where KARR engages in bank robberies. In one charge scene, KARR has the sticker job from Slammin' Sammy's episode, which it doesn't have at any other point.
Continuity mistake: To elude KITT, KARR ejected Tony to eliminate weight. A moment later, KARR is sitting still, and Tony is in the passenger seat.
Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, KARR has his own unique yellow voice modulator. However, when he is talking to the two robbers in their lockup and we see KARR mainly from the outside, the light flashing inside KARR as he speaks is red, suggesting that it is KITT (or at least the KITT prop, possibly filmed before the KARR's modulator was made or reused from elsewhere).
Continuity mistake: Throughout the episode, KARR doesn't appear to have a rear number plate as KITT does. However, in the shots of KARR smashing through windows/walls, he has KITT's ‘KNIGHT' plate.
Continuity mistake: Michael fights for his life on KARR. He then jumps to safety on KITT and gets into the car and goes chasing after KARR. The next scene has Michael back on KARR fighting for his life.
Continuity mistake: Watch KITT shoot KARR with the laser. When KITT hits the laser on KARR one of his headlight covers blows off but then returns.
Inside Out - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When you see K.I.T.T parked up talking to Devon there is a normal steering wheel on the dash. (00:29:00)
Inside Out - S1-E10
Revealing mistake: When the bad guy says "Deploy" and K.I.T.T breaks off from the convoy, you can see a normal steering wheel in the car. (00:35:05)
Inside Out - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When the driver of the lorry is radioing for a situation check, you see the driver with a radio in his hand. When you see them drive by and hear him still asking, the driver of the lorry isn't holding a radio, but has both hands on the steering wheel.
Other mistake: When Michael and Marty are being chased and shot at, K.I.T.T jumps over the top of a hill. In the next shot of K.I.T.T driving away, you see a wheel trim rolling down the hill which has fallen off K.I.T.T. (00:39:45)
Revealing mistake: In the warehouse, after Michael calls him, when KITT busts through the door, the plastic sheeting used inside the driver's window to hide the stunt driver is noticeable.
Revealing mistake: As KITT is rolling down the hill with the unconscious Michael inside, the shots of KITT from the outside show that the bonnet and roof have large and obvious gaps between them and the rest of the bodywork (presumably a stunt vehicle). When KITT fires it's turbo boost, the bodywork is its normal flush self again.
Visible crew/equipment: As KITT starts back up the hill, if you look at the lower left side of the screen as he starts up, you see a black cable pulling the car.
Visible crew/equipment: At the Victory Academy, as the group walks by the brown sedan, the light rigs and camera crew and equipment is reflected on the side.
Visible crew/equipment: When the vehicle drives into the equestrian centre with the brown horsefloat on the back, you can see the shadows of the camera crew on the ground.
Revealing mistake: When KITT is in the valet carpark, he pushes the cars in front of him forwards. It is very obvious they have attached rubber protectors to the bumpers to prevent damage. Also, when KITT is driving by himself 10 seconds later, you can see the stunt man's hands driving the car.
Continuity mistake: When KITT drives off the edge of the cliff, the car changes from a pontiac to another standard car a number of times. When KITT lands, his flight trajectory was from approximately 10 feet, not 100 feet. He should have landed like a belly flop onto the sand, not a shallow dive.
Chosen answer: Before "product placement" became common, name-brand products were rarely, if ever seen in TV shows, mostly due to avoid advertising conflicts with program sponsors. The Pepsi logo may have been taped out to prevent any commercial infringements.

Are you kidding? Product placement was so rampant in the 50s that sometimes you'd wonder if you were watching a TV show or a paid ad.

Knight Rider wasn't produced in the 1950s. TV shows of that era had advertising more similar to the old radio shows from the 30s and 40s. The early 50s series often had a sole sponsor, so their product (and related items) was likely seen in a program. An announcer also informed the audience at the beginning that, "This program is brought to you by (insert brand name). " From the 60s on, brand-name products weren't generally seen in TV programs. Networks sold air time to multiple advertisers, and their ads were shown during the long commercial breaks. So no, I'm not kidding.
