Plot hole: The explosion strength of the XPL nitro-plastiqe is very inconsistent. In the opening scenes, six cubes are enough bring down a building. Later, Bobby throws two cubes of it out the passenger window. Oddly, they end up on opposite sides of KITT, and then cause only very minor explosions. In the next scene, Bobby throws the another two cubes of explosive out the window, and those explosions are enough to collapse a power pylon. (00:08:26 - 00:08:49)

Plot hole: KITT loses his memory of Michael and Bonny gives Michael a new memory to replace his damaged one. Now this is a back up version and improved memory. But after the old backup is restored, KITT still knows who the boy is, despite meeting the boy after that backup would have been taken.
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.
