Was the taillight “bar” on your former RWD the same as what is coming w/ the new basic AWD model? Or was the RWD taillight the same look as the Premium AWD + Beast? Those two small square taillights look kinda silly without the bar….
Most likely the same, since the photos on the order site is the same images of the RWD. It still don't show the tonneau cover.

The RWD taillight did not have the center tailgate section light bar. It still has the third brake light that comes on during braking. It was fine with me, since it looked more minimalist and cleaner. I noticed earlier AWD model year light bar looked "spotty", meaning can see the separation of LEDs. My new one seem Ok, looks like a continuous bar.

I liked the RWD taillights, I think it still look very cool with just the sides. It made it unique.

Also to note, the RWD (also the dual motor) also does not have the white LEDs on the front turn signal.

What do you mean white led on the front turn signal? Under the front light bar?

Anyone Own/Owned a RWD variant that can comment on the Headlights? I tried looking online but the RWD is soo elusive my findings were insufficient.

I'd wager the front end is the exact same across all cybertrucks (we know the frunks are powered on all models also). All headlights need to undergo testing before being legally approved for road use. It makes no sense for Tesla to do this more than once.

Correct, where the turn signal lights amber, it just doesn't light white when headlights are on.

Is it a fog light that is missing? Like older 3 and y have?

Does a premium CT have the little fog light?

Not sure if any Cybertruck have fog lights.

The lights I am referring to is the long light between the low/high beam and side marker ambers. On RWD it will only light up amber when turn signal engaged but no light when off. The AWD "premium" I have lights up like below. That is only difference I noticed.

When the RWD was available on the order page, RWD included "standard headlamps" and AWD/CB included "signature headlamps"

I understand now.. Great Post. So have we determined with any certainty if the new standard AWD will have "Signature Headlamps" or not?

On the Tesla comparison tool, Dual AWD vs premium AWD, only the bed and tail lamps are mentioned as being different. Standard bed and tail lights vs premium bed and tail lights. No mention of front end.
Agree, just checked that out. Only thing dealing with headlamps I saw was "Front cross car daytime running light".

Here is a pic of the Premium rear LED light bar. I believe the $69,990 trim is missing the middle LED’s and just has the two small LED’s near the bed sides.

I checked mine. Looks like the light next to the low beam does not light up. It’s only the turn signal I presume
I'm wondering if the change in the lights next to the headlights in the RWD/SAWD is just a software change? I wouldn't think Telsa wouldn't go through the trouble to change the internal LEDs to ones that are only yellow for the turn signals.
