LIGHT BAR V2 INSTALLED! after 9 months waiting!!

[petercyber]

Hello, Yesterday we got our light bar installed. Beyond stoked. Quick question, we have a 3.56mm gap between the windshield and the light bar, according to Tesla specs, it shouldn't be more than 1 mm. For those that have the lightbar, did you measure it?? See pictures below.

11 months still waiting. :-(

Does it appear that the adhesive under the light bar is not holding?

Seems like a recipe for the wind ripping it off at highway speeds. Recommend you have Tesla refit it.

I know the feeling. My advice will be to create a good relationship with your Tesla advisor and then ask him if he can help you get one.

It looks like, but it is just the glue, it has a thick layer. My concern is the gap and I'm surprised they didn't cover the gap like you would do to a window, sink or bathtub.

I already reached out to them and they are looking into it.

Personally, I would prefer to have a simple accent light bar under the windshield like the prototype. It's impossible to use it even at 1%, it blinds the heck out of you.

Love the wheels!

Mine looks the same, been well over 100mph without an issue. I think the bottom of the light bar curves up there, and is t a good place to measure. I’d measure the back. Mine has a lot of adhesive filling that gap if you look with a flashlight.

Correct, what's your gap? did you measure it?

Yes, “create a good relationship “ praise him and encourage him to do his job. That is really good advice. May be bake him a cake, baby sit his kids, paying 129 K for your truck just does not cut it to deserve a light bar which you already paid for.

I felt the same frustration since 05/2024 when we got the truck and didn't get the wheel covers, or the lightbar. However, I wanted to get it as soon as possible. I knew I was not going to get anything rubbing my rights and "deep pocket" to the Tesla advisors' noses. But kindness and humbleness move mountains, and I only had to wait 10 months. However, I made a promise to never again support Tesla with any launch product. By nature I am not an early adopter, lesson confirmed. I thought I was going to be one of the few that will have the prestige of having a Foundation truck. Now I see that it means nothing, anyone can have it. They definately botched the effort and trust of those that invested a fortune.

Looks like a big gap. Any chance the light bar was accidentally installed upside down? That gap is going to catch air, bugs and dirt.
