To me it looks like the testing RC trucks

Question. Yes, I get that this is a personal preference question. I'd still like some opinions based on MY circumstances and what you might do in MY situation:

1. I live in Maryland on a couple of acres that aren't accessible but give me separation from people and it's dark there. That light has to remain "covered" in Maryland. I'm not sure there's anywhere I can use it around here.
2. I will most likely move in 2-3 years.
3. I don't know how often I'd use such a light.
4. I will most likely move to a house on some property... probably 5-40 acres... depending on the move.
5. I don't take long trips often enough where a slight change in aerodynamics matters.

Should I have the light installed when offered to me?

im not a big off-roader but it's "free" and looks cool and could be useful once in a while....I plan on getting it!

That's kind of my take but I'm not 100% on the look. I like my truck now and if the light makes it look cooler, so be it. But, if the light looks gimiky on there... hence the conundrum.

Just dipping back in briefly

is this serious?

Yep, why not?
Awesome to see they are now doing the wire connections and handling the regulatory issues by just unplugging the roof harness in the B pillar. That makes it much easier for owners to enable the light bar.

I've watched this so many times now, and I really like the bar and the light separation... but I really can't get on board with the fact that it's 'permanently' installed. If they allow 3rd party companies to access that API for ditch and dimming controls and we can get something like the quick disconnect from TSportline to work in a similar way, that's what I'd go for.

again, just dipping back in to CT world, so you’re maybe talking a little beyond me in terms of background

Ok, why do you think the service process is not serious?

Glad to see they're updating the install procedure as they go along (now using pads to set the gap between the LB and windshield, and now they're taking care of the soldering and just unplugging the connector in the B-pillar).

I don't have a Beast, but will be getting this installed...if they ever make it to the Tesla shop, haha!!

So wait, they updated the service doc to now unplug the feed to the roof under the B connector applique instead of putting a quick connect under the roof applique? That seems silly…. Every time you take off a trim piece the odds of it coming off later or rattling or something go up an order of magnitude. Would have been way better to just put a weatherproof connector under the top roof-rack door or something.

oh, we’re talking like a factory accessory reasonably requires soldering and gluing to the windshield?

There’s surely some long, cope-heavy, justification people are using to suggest this “all makes sense.”

But, one awkward thing remains: had you two years ago on this forum suggested this outcome, the horde would have repetitively dressed you down for remotely suggesting such a thing.

Here hoping for someone not blind to that irony to just (with some balance) explain what the long, cope-heavy, explanation is for how we arrived at soldering and going the lightbar to the truck.

Well, to start, it's specifically not a from the factory accessory...
