Here’s another video of the AlphaRex lights. looks like the resolved the brake/turn signal issue being separated. But I don’t like the illumination on the sides.
I’m still leaning towards EvOffer as those lights look more oem and doesn’t have the side leds.

I ordered the red smoke alpharex tail lights. I just realized though, is that demo car red smoke or is it jet black?

That's the big question... no one is really sure, and TSportline doesn't have examples of each...

Just ordered a set from EVOFFER and a back trim refresh from TESLA. I will keep you guys Posted when they are installed.

What was the Tesla part number? I had a hard time finding this and resorted getting a less than pristine one from Ebay. Cost?
That's jet black
I contacted T Sportline and asked about their Alpharex tail lights asking exactly the same question, and they responded saying that the color scheme should resemble exactly what was done for the aftermarket Model 3 tail lights. I think in the picture you posted, the owner added a smoke tint to those tail lights (I could be wrong about the smoke part, but it's definitely the 'jet black' model). Will make an order of those today and will report back when it arrives. I have a Plaid late 2021 and there is a debate about the wiring, but truthfully I doubt that it will be of any issue
here is a closeup of the screenshot I took from another video of the same car
they had the same tail light mounted on a wall to demonstrate its abilities

I believe as long as it has the pre-refresh charge port style (pre 2023) it should work.
here is a better picture of the headlights and tail lights. Got this from T Sportline after asking for details
MAMA MIA!

They used the same photo for both models (jet black and red smoke) so i needed to make sure they were actually different lol
They should work 100% on the pre-refresh Plaids as well (2021 and early 2022), since the wiring is apparently the same
Well it took a full year, but as predicted. China did it!
I hope someone will post these installed soon with some info on the charge door.
Yep! Alpharex

In my experience the China smoked taillights are typically way too dark, I wish they would just do a clear lens without the smoke tint. I would also recommend resealing them, as on the Porsche forums we see them get condensation quite often.
Another downside to China tails is they typically have a weird start up animation that really cheapens the car, but the Asian market seems to appreciate.
Agreed
A Japanese manufacturer released a set of tail lights with a different design
