Offroad Lightbar Installation at Service Center Tomorrow (Update: Delayed Due to Wrong Part)

[cbbowlingmd]

My local Tesla service center (Knoxville TN) is installing their first ever light bar tomorrow.....on my Beast. I'll check back in tomorrow afternoon with pictures and details. They've told me they will do the full install but there is one step they are not allowed to do and informed me I will be responsible for doing that. I'll give more details tomorrow but I suspect it's simply hooking up the power supply on the roof power source.

Yes. That's the step. Good luck. Looking forward to some pictures. Get some with the light off as well as on if you don't mind, kind sir.

Can't wait to see what this look like along with wind noise and range impact.

Aren’t the light bars illegal in some states? Of so, will Tesla review the legalities prior to owner final hookup?

I think it’s illegal on CA, being in WY I don’t really care about that. Are there other states?

New light bars: I’m sure I’ve overlooked this answer, but how will one turn on/off the light bar ?
Screen Select the roof top power outlet every time??

This would be one of the only times id love to have a metal toggle switch.

This is no doubt why the customer has to make the final connection.

Steering wheel button press followed by, "turn on lightbar."

Looking forward to the details as I got the email also. Did your service center contact you saying it was in and schedule the appointment?

Guess on how much the light bar will be for NON Beast owners?

 

[cyberville]

Thinking/hoping increased drag from the lightbar will be offset by pending wheel covers...anyone have a more precise guess?

Wish it was inside the windshield like the proto.

I really hope there is a way to limit the power and use it as daytime running lights. I might have to put tint on it, I would rarely take mine off road, and even more rare at night. I have a jeep for that.
