Nice look Robotfixr.

Hello - I've been sanding non-stop on tail lights in preparation of the test fit with Bonnie. We've been trying to get the perfect finish right out of the mold, but still haven't done it. I prepped the tail lights to an acceptable stage for clear coating. We'll provide updated pics on Wednesday...

This is not a finished set so yes I agree, it's not up to par...yet:wink:. Test fit #2.

Getting closer.

Would anyone in the Bay Area be available to test fit a tail light set this week? Thanks in advance.

The first left side sample came out pretty good.

Upcoming right side units, one at a time.

Thanks for bringing djp's post to my attention. They'll be mounted with VHB double sided tape; the same way as the MS trunk spoiler. For a more permanent look we can offer a stronger adhesive tape and for a temporary application a less adhesive tape. As-is the tail lights actually fit pretty...

Habious, the back side of the OEM tail light housing is quite complex. I've included a pic below. To tool the back side and the front, which is already the most complex surface on the outside of the Roadster, would've likely started in the $1500 range produced domestically with a larger minimum...

Test fit from earlier today. The fit was spot on, we're working on the high-gloss finish.

Sample Update 5/7/2015. The progression is from left to right / worst to best in the picture with three units. The other pictures are closeups of each unit in one location also showing progression. They'll fit onto the OEM housing with no tolerance. We found the backside of the OEM housing...

Bonnie, will you be here today Tuesday or next Tuesday? We're trying to make these self-installation friendly. If you or anyone in the Bay Area would like to see progress of the tail lights in person this week please let me know and I'll arrange for a showing.

Please listen to our latest production update, given by our carbon fiber expert Doug. Thanks. Tesla Roadster Carbon Fiber Tail Lights Update 5/4/2015

We're down to our last step. We anticipate shipping orders out this Monday.

Thanks for the kind words DeedWest. I'll send a PM about the carbon fiber hard top. The finish line is in sight! We're trying to correct bunching around the tighter contours, but even TM couldn't do it. :wink: Another sample is in-progress; one of these two will be post-processed and finished...

Jaff, I'll definitely get to the updated tail lights once we finish the carbon fiber project. The latest sample came out extremely good! There are a few more small traits to be worked out, but everything is going smoothly at this point. The rest of the steps we need to address are quite...

Thanks for the heads up Nigel. I think this latest sample has the correct CF placement. We're getting very close to an acceptable item.

Our second prototype has been completed. However, we are still working on perfecting it. I'll be sharing an update in the next few days regarding this 3rd prototype. Thank you for your patience and we're looking forward to sharing the end product with you soon.

We recommend installing these on an alignment lift and adjusting camber/alignment as desired.

First sample pictured. The shape came out great and we're working on a better finish. We've started on the second sample.

Titanium in real life. I have a pic of the new blue also.

@jbadger the hood runs $2500. Thanks for posting the pic Sam. We're still working on the rear spoiler, the first version needs some tweaking. I'll be updating the thread by the end of this week with some good progress on the tail lights. I'm excited to say the least.

Customer submitted pics of our CF hood and charge port.

Hi spiderguy. Hopefully this week we'll have finished pics of a rear spoiler that's in progress.

Hi TMC, I just wanted to give an update on the ETA of the tail lights. I've included my original post from 2/25: "CF Tail Light production outline: - We're set to start production on Wednesday 3/4 - Creating the molds should be another 2-3 weeks - The last week of March/first week of April...

Aero wheels on a MC Red S85 I spotted in Ontario, Ca

You're all close with the X6 comparisons, but it's not what the Model X is based on. Take a look at a BMW 5-Series GT and then look at the Model X...same thing! Look at the window lines and the rear glass. Elon's not fooling me.:tongue:

Work in progress... Finished Nose Cone!

Just sharing some WIP. I promise they'll be pretty once they're finished.:smile:

We're up next for milling the tail light housing mold. We should be done by tomorrow morning or sooner. I'll update with pics of our progress. I'll follow-up with a eSque vs. True Sport request list/poll.

Felix, We'd like input on which style TMC prefers. This helps us focus our R&D when we know exactly what we're building. I'd also like to ask, how soon would you like to see the tail light redesign? Producing a completely new tail light entails (pun maybe) a large scope of work. Depending on...

Thanks bonnie. Your install is on us! What price range is fair for the tail light redesign? This is considering an initial production run of 20 sets. Once we agree on retail pricing we'll have a better idea of what to quote for delivery time and installation. Could everyone kindly let us know...
