And that was also years ago. He's clearly changed his mind on a few things that he "confirmed" in the past. It will be whatever it will be at launch and everyone will deal with whatever is remaining on the feature list.
I do not recall what he has changed his mind on that was specifically asked and responded to recently. Do you?

For starters, he added a quad motor variant. Then he added 4ws. There was also the waffling on something like 5% shrink where he promised both sides of that story.

Enough of a point to prove that we should wait and see what is the final feature list before using his prior statements as concrete proof.

There were two lines of lights on the OG, and there are still two lines of lights on the current trucks.

The Twitter comments can be searched on Google but they do not show up on Twitter anymore. The comment in February was about the tailgate red light bar. Maybe you were right if I cannot find the source to cite. Yes, 2 light bars in the front though the Google search called it a laser.

Isn't that where the optional winch is going to be located? I do worry about aftermarket lights mounted on the inside of the glass, all that tint would prevent them from being really bright and would keep any heat in that is generated by the tint blocking the lights exit

Just another prototype feature that didn't make the release, wonder where that thread is, let's see:

Offroad pinacle lights
Liftgate with embedded ramp
Protected storage in the sails
Seating for six
Binnacle display
Side view cameras not mirrors
No Big Ass Wiper
Well yes, if there any sort of winch support my guest it would be inside the pink box (see below). I do not worry about glass being too "tinted" on the prototype, I trust the engineers will make a bright enough Led bar :) Perhaps the inside of the glass is empty today.

But if there is/will be a led bar at all in CT, I would not expect super bright, high-end stuff, I would not have high expectations. I am pretty sure though it will be good enough for most applications

Some people have pointed out that offroad lights aren't offered as a standard part on other trucks because some states require them to have a physical, opaque covering.

And the prototypes we've seen have had the wires run up the middle of the windscreen to the top instead of branching earlier.

We've also not seen it since the OG.

So... No idea. I hope it makes it. If it doesn't, it's one modification I will seek out - I often camp in the dark and all the elevated lights I can get, the better. It's just better to break camp in desert before dawn.

You kind of want to hold Elon to his word, that production runs won’t differ in appearance from the prototype.
to be fair to Elon, that wasn’t exactly his statement

he merely said doesn’t like it when show cars look cool, then release versions don’t look cool

though, I appreciate that the lore is more important than the detail, nonetheless the release version still looks plenty cool

I’m hoping the light bar is there or available as an accessory

and also I was always curious how it was to work, real world

not an ideal location for a lightbar, but will be interested to see how they engineer around it

I'm starting to think its +$20,000 for the accessories.

Lovely Wench
Roof Rack
Light Bar
propellor rims
Side Sail
Ramp
Display
Expresso Machine

Which in a way, is fine with me, I think I avoid luxury import tax and stamp duty on the vehicle.

I could be wrong, but 'Lovely Wench' will have 'luxury import tax' on arrival/departure! You don't get to chose.
