ATX - anyone have their lightbar yet?

[vthreee]

Just curious if anyone in Austin has gotten their lightbar yet. I asked service about mine, and they said everyone’s waiting.

I’m still waiting. Also waiting for when the extended battery can be ordered. I swear I added it as an option when I was ordering but apparently it wasn’t actually available to add.

Here in Magnolia, TX (north of Houston) and nada. Tried to schedule with hopes that were dashed, politely, saying that I will need to wait for the email, just like the wheel covers.

So, here’s my experience in Austin …. Asked early on (Aug) and Service response was they are not available, then made a service appt in Dec to get recalls done and added install light bar (along with all the other stuff),. They came back and said unfortunately the light bars were still unavailable. Then, they came back a week later and said they didn’t have all the parts and would have to push the service appt from mid Dec to early Jan. I started hearing folks were starting to get light bars, so I was optimistic that they might have pushed it to get a light bar in. As we got closer to the Jan appt, I texted them and said I was hearing folks getting their light bars, any chance they could include with this service visit. They came back and said they could, but the time they had allotted for my current appt wasn’t long enough to get all the recalls AND install the light bar and asked if I wanted to re-schedule. I said yes, they re-scheduled my appt, and now I’m scheduled for Jan 26th. So, unless this takes another turn, I should get all my recalls, wheel covers, and light bar end of Jan!!! Will keep you posted!

I only requested the appliqués along each side of the bed be replaced and the the wiper motor replacement. Those are the only actual notifications I received from Tesla. They added several other things to the appt …. Like torquing tri-motor oil fill plug, installing FlexCable harness guide, and checking tire pressures.

@Bipster let us know your outcome! I’m also super hoping they announce availability of the extended range battery pack soon.

It’s now showing install light bar on the service order … so that’s a step in the right direction!!

How exactly do you get these recall notifications? In the Tesla app? Because I have never had a notification for any recall for my Cyberbeast, for anything, ever.

They add recall items when you make an appointment. Add camera alignment, tire pressure.

I got the two recall notices in the mail. I heard about them in blogs and in the news, then weeks later I got formal letters.

I had my CB in last week in Houston for troubleshooting on the mobile connection and just for fun added the installation of the lightbar to the service request and the nice lady in the service center told me that Tesla is working on a new fastening solution with brackets instead of the current gluing (they could not install either) but i would without hesitation go for the bracket solution and will be awaiting the situation a little longer hoping for a bracket solution ?

I did this too and got mine installed a couple of weeks ago. I am assuming they used double sided 3M tape, but I really don't know. I have no idea how they would use a bracket with all glass everywhere in that region. But Tesla engineers are smarter than me, so who knows?

?

Getting mine installed on the 16th, here's hoping its the new design. Will post soon as its finished.

Can confirm still using a urethane glue to attach to the top of the window.
