💡LightBar installed💡[Updated with pics]

[Guylouis]

I popped off the B pillar in the parking lot. Made the connection. I couldn’t get the B pillar to clip back in so took truck back to Service and asked them to reinstall the B pillar.

Here are a couple of images from the lightbar installation instructions. Assuming yours came with the blackout tape?

I got my lightbar a week or so ago. It’s freaking awesome!!! Don’t lose Hope! it’s coming for all you foundation series beast owners

A trick that worked for me on both of my cyber beasts:

create a service ticket under accessories, accessory installation, write install off-road light bar

it takes 2 to 3 weeks for the lightbar to arrive once you do this. but this seems to have allowed my service team to order the lightbars for me. Must be done this way -through the app under ”accessory installation “… simply messaging them won’t help

good luck! ?

I'm not from California but, there law popped up first...

California Vehicle Code 25950 states that headlights must be installed at a height of not more than 54 inches but not less than 22 inches. Section 25950 additionally mandates that all front lights should be in the white or yellow color spectrum. This color of light is sufficient to illuminate a driver’s front view.

Cybertruck is about 75" tall.

This is a really good source but always check your state's actual codes.

Are Light Bars Legal? | Light Bar Laws by State

Yeah, that's also the Federal requirement.

LOVE IT!!!!!

Would not have happened today without the tip from @Guylouis! If you have a FS/CB go through the app and request installation.

The gentlemen at my service center advised that they have only installed a total of six. They had two in stock when I got mine.

They confirmed that there is literally nothing that they can do to help a customer get their light bar. They can’t order it; nothing!

The situation is not ideal. But you’re lucky enough to not only have a FS/CB, but, also to be here and be privy to the hack that will get you moved to the front of the line for installation.

Lucky you! ?

Has anyone heard anything about a Lightbar cover to make it legal to drive with?

Woohoo!

Enjoy it!

How did they go about compensating as part of the original purchase of the Cyberbeast?
Did they quote you in the app with any pricing then mark it off as ‘good will service’ while onsite having the light bar installed?
I would hate to schedule and have them think I am purchasing the light bar outright when it should come as part of the full package I already paid for.

that's what happened to me, i requested a service appointment like op for my fs beast, and they sent me an estimate to review for $2,350. That's the pricing in the computer for bar plus install. I had to cancel my appointment and wait for the email
smh.

Did not work for me either, my truck has been in service now going on the 2nd week. Svc mgr said he hasn't installed any down in Florida yet.

Wow! Well, darn. @Guylouis apparently did it twice and it worked perfectly for me. I don’t want to make it seem like there’s magic words but just to confirm; what did you say in the request for service in the app?

I literally cut and pasted the language he said to use; I hope it’s not as simple as that, but maybe? Phrasing?

I just have a suspicion that’s what’s happening here is that some sort of AI is being triggered to match you up with/order a lightbar and if it’s too verbose or not specific enough it may not work right.

This has to be done through the app and has to be a service request for accessory installation.

I recommend saying/entering ONLY: “install off-road light bar”

Nothing more, nothing less.

Same, service center turned me down really quick

This ?

This ?

I’m also concerned because both posters who said that it didn’t work relate that someone “told” them no or wait your turn. There is no point at which they would need/or have any occasion to “talk” to anyone if they followed your instructions like I did.

Can’t help people who won’t listen.

Each time I did anything that resulted in me “speaking to someone” whether verbally or in writing i.e. messaging through the app resulted in failure.

Just do it through the app (exactly as outlined) and let the process work or don’t, and wait.

Preemptively, just to be clear, I said I’m concerned because it’s unclear that the steps were followed - given the reports of speaking to someone who told them something. It’s possible that they did all of the steps and it just didn’t work. I just can’t tell and it doesn’t seem like it.

No, but I hope someone does. It will likely be a very low volume product so may end up being Etsy, DIY or, in my case for the time being -gaffers tape if needed.

*I’m not too worried about my home state or most places I travel out west including Ca. But listening to some of you it seems like I need to be vigilant if I take my rig east or south.

@Guylouis

Using your text exactly prompts a FAQ now about the lightbar, at the bottom it says request service. This time it added to my service.
