Here's the inside one...

This is what the Cybertruck was being set up for by the lighting crew.

That setup almost confirms for me there is no light bar at the top of the windshield. The setup is all about the profile of the truck with the trucks lighting as the focus. Only reason to not turn the upper bar lights on in that situation is if they don't exist.

There’s was 2, I was told

One inside, that we’ve seen videos of (LINK). One outside. That we’ve all seen videos of (LINK).

Outside is it. That’s THE truck.

Maybe meant to say “We’ve got a whole bunch of trucks… and a couple for you to check out”

?

Elon stated that both laser blade Lights too and bottom will come standard. I agree I anticipated seeing the top laser blade lights, but nothing. Could it be the standard has changed to option besides completely nixed?

He says a lot of things. Nothing is true until it's actualized.

If it’s not standard, i sure would like to see it as an option. I would most definitely add. Honestly, I don’t see a need or even a legal reason that would prevent Tesla from keeping the top laser blade lights away from production. ?‍
The top laser blade lights will be very handy in a lot of situations.
Fingers crossed

My recollection is that Elon has explicitly stated that the front main and rear tail light bars will be part of production. To date he hasn't confirmed or denied that the upper front light bar will be present.

I've been scouring all of the usual sources and I'm surprised that there isn't much photo or video from last night's event. I understand this was a party for Tesla employees but are they under an NDA or something?

How many photos do you have from your job parties?

None. But that's because I don't work at Tesla or anyone else doing cool products.

Also, these Tesla teams might not have even had a chance to see CT in person given the campus' focus (not assembly, design studio, hardware, etc...).

Correct. Old HP then HPE HQ.
3000 Hanover St, Palo Alto.

On mine, if it comes with the triangular mirrors they will be immediately removed. The previous style of mirrors were far superior not only in appearance, but also for rear visibility.

Someone please look for this in the pre production units!! ??

Standard upper blade lights. I can only assume this means above windshield.
