How to successfully request the Off-Road Lightbar from Tesla (FS Beast Only)

[dalton108]

Successfully requested lightbar, but service advisor said that there is a problem if you install the lightbar with the current epoxy method, that if the windshield needs to be replaced the lightbar can break when removing. She said Tesla is designing a fix that will install the lightbar a different way and asked if I wanted to wait for that. Anyone heard of this?

No. But either way that’s a Tesla problem not a me or you problem. I can understand them pausing all installations if this is what they’re seeing but if they’re still willing to do your installation the risk to you is limited.

Foundation Series Beast Gang – Off-Road Lightbar Installation Guide

Hey everyone,

I’m sharing this here so you all have a clear understanding of the steps to get this accessory installed.

Why trust this?
This method has worked for me on both of my beasts, several friends in different states, and countless other members on this forum. It’s a straightforward and proven process.

Step-by-Step Guide:
1. In your app – Create a service request.
2. Select Upgrade & Accessories.
3. Choose Accessory Installation.
4. In the request, type: “Install Off-Road Lightbar.”

What happens next?
This request triggers the parts department to order the off-road lightbar specifically for your VIN.

Pro Tips:
• You don’t need to interact with your advisor. They likely won’t know if you’ve received the parts email or not, and it’s not necessary for this process.
• If the lightbar isn’t in stock, expect about a two-week wait for your Service Center to receive it.

Enjoy your upgraded Cyberbeast

No bueno in Norfolk, VA. Canceled my appointment, said not in, don’t call us, we’ll call you.

It would be cool to start a list of those approved and those declined to see if there’s a pattern among certain states.

So far everyone I know who asked for it in California and New York received it (FS Beast)

I’m giving it a try. So far I’m scheduled for tomorrow, fingers crossed. I’ll let you know how it goes.

It didn't work...they must have caught on.

That's the thing, they said it would not be covered if the lightbar broke during windshield removal which is why I decided to wait for the updated design

Updated design?

It’s a factory accessory. And since it’s permanently mounted to the windshield it effectively becomes part of the windshield so hopefully Insurance views it this way when replacing a windshield.

Anyone want to trade me there light bar for wheel covers?

 

[bosshog]

Is this light only for the beast or can you order it for the AWD? i need it lol

Right now they are not available. It’s like the wheel covers the beast people are getting them slowly. It’s pretty much the only thing I would want to order with my shop credit at this point

It has been suggested that this is going to be solely a foundation series cyber beast option. I think it was also @Guylouis that reported being told this (I could be wrong about that).

I don’t know if that’ll be true or not. On the one hand, I hope it is because it will further differentiate my truck from the rest, but I don’t know.

At least make it a FS only. Come on ?
You all laugh but some one is going to trade me for my wheel covers ?

No … I should have ordered the Beast …

I’m sorry to be the bearer of this potential bad news, but it’s only word-of-mouth from one person AFAIK who was told this by someone at their service center, if I remember correctly. This could be totally wrong.

Even if it is, I suspect that someone will go ahead and try to ape the OEM style light bar because there will be interest just because of the exclusivity.

But that’ll get tricky because sticking a third-party light bar on your window is gonna raise certainly more issues than having the factory one there.

All I can say is that I have absolutely no regrets about getting my CB!
