Any chance these will be released soon?

lol. We made 4 versions based on the OEM puddle light readings which arrived just before Xmas, and.....none worked, at least in my early-VIN CT. Have another customer testing the same 4 units in a recent VIN, so although I'm not terribly hopeful, maybe we'll make some progress. If not, I have another 2 samples coming this week using a different approach.

I promise we're doing all we can to figure this out quickly, and to my knowledge, other than Tesla, nobody else has figured this out (even though some companies are selling them, just not actually shipping...).

I wanted the AO ones but taking a long time.

I just ordered these: https://www.tesstudio.com/products/...t-bulbs-led-tesstudio®?variant=50687036817697

Don't know if they are for real or not, no reviews about them anywhere. Hopefully they work.

We've never sold puddle (projection) lights for CT. Not for lack of trying, I've got many cartons of them that will never work, based on the logic/assumption a little over a year ago that the factory door lights are the same in Highland as they are CT, but that doesn't translate to the projection lights (also true of the factory projection lights being sold for 3/Y - they don't work in CT).

There's many differences between a normal light vs. a projection light. We have 8 SMDs in the normal lights, but projection lights can only use one. That brings other issues in terms of thermal management and resistance set-up, which also has a bearing on the PCD design and eventually certifications, so it's a whole thing.

Interesting to see if they ship. I saw on another thread that they're back to pre-order for 'performance improvements'.

Please keep us updated if they work or not. I'm wanting to see a video of how they look as photos don't do well to show brightness of the light.

@AO-Pete Super excited to see this in your latest email!

Glad to see you finally cracked the mystery of the CT puddle lights! I'm signed up for the notification!

Looks like they'll be shipping to us mid-week, so probably 7-10 days out.

I received my puddle lights from them finally. They are not as bright as the Tesla brand ones, but they are bigger so that is probably why.

Are the ones available all from the same Chinese supplier? Solidly snap in harness connector? Why does the “white” look purple or blueish white?

No. They're unique to us, that's why it took so long to develop and get certified. The white is at a temp of 6500k (cool white), that's always been the case for our lights, it's the same cool white Tesla used to use for their Model S foglights, way back in the day, and as a rule, cool white SMD's are brighter and more efficient than their warmer white variants, which ultimately leads to a longer operational life.
