It would be interesting to know if Cyberbeasts are finally being equipped with the overhead light bar. If not, does anyone know what is causing the delay? By now this shortfall should have been resolved.

Haven't seen one delivered with the lightbar just yet. Who knows what the delay is but clearly had an issue so I'll wait till they fix it / design it right ....it shows as included so don't perceive any risk other than waiting and not having it if I get my truck first.

I believe it is installed at the service center when available. It does not arrive at the SC installed. Apparently, most of those delivered are still waiting for it.

It appears that the light bar is an issue in some states, since it seems to be illegal to have one on the vehicle.

Maybe not quite anything:

Same reason they won't send out vehicles with tinted front windows... They want to keep them legal from the factory.

It will be interesting how they resolve this; it still appears as part of the CB options package.

If the light can be fully covered when not in use, wouldn't that make it legal everywhere? I thought having a light that is exposed is the issue?

I had a Beast delivered last week and still no light bar.

It is part of the CB package. Tesla will send the instructions and light out. You can put it on yourself. I mean, you can put it on your Cybertruck yourself. You wouldn't want to put it on yourself.

There may have to be a cover on the light for it to be legal on the road in some places.

Tesla wouldn't approve a DIY installation of a warranty item so just like the range extender, when it is available Tesla will ship it to your SC and notify you for installation there.
