Its doubtful legacy car makers would even sell such a light. Or if they did make it available the cost would be astronomical like $5k or something crazy. The lightbar looks to be low profile. But I want to see the hit to highway speed range.
looks great, thanks for the post, I always thought it was one connection at the roof, didn't know anything about this connection on the side pillar so appreciate this.Well, after getting delayed a second time because they didn’t include all of the pads that go between the light bar and the windshield, my light bar finally got installed. I wanted to post some pictures here of the customer portion of the install which I simply did in the parking lot of Tesla before I left. The access to plug in the light bar is in the side pillar on the passenger side between the front and rear door. There’s a small access panel as pictured. Once the access panel is removed, unbolt the 10 mm bolt and then gently pull up and out on the bottom of the pillar. Underneath, you will find a wire secured with a small zip tie. Mine was green in color. Cut the zip tie. The plug simply plugs in to the female end contained in the shell behind the pillar. The user interface on my truck was changed automatically when I got in the truck and it allows me to power on the ditch lights, the main bar and both without being in off road mode. See attached.
Where did this figure come from? Seems like an arbitrary rounded number.
Did you disconnect-power down the MV (48v). Or did not have too.
The all terrain. But I misunderstood I just looked it up and they give a 20 mile hit (from 320 to 300) not from 300 to 270. My mistake they give about 7% hit.

Yeah, I don’t think there’s any pads. It’s very clear to me that mine was just glued onto the glass pads would be in the way of that process.
Got it thanks for the explanation. No need for the photo as that’s the way I have seen the wire from the Lightbar run on other photos but just wanted to know what of anything changed from when they originally were just wiring it from the wires housed under the crossbar attachment in the appliqué.
Yes. And the UI for doing that is identical as the implementation for the lightstrip inside the truck. In fact, it sits on the screen just above or below it (I don’t remember which), under the lights menu.
