Emergency Flashers for First Responders

[tarheelin71]

I am a first responder with our rescue squad and own a Tesla 3. Is there an upgrade that verified first responders can get for their car that will allow all of the vehicle lights to flash while en route to an emergency call?

I've seen aftermarket where local police have kitted out the car but I've never heard of that from Tesla though would be cool

Yeah, I have mounted lights in my other vehicles, but I know they could make an upgrade to do this.

Not that I have heard of. Tesla does have custom software available to help integrate the control of lights/equipment from upfitters. (And they have made changes to allow lights to stay on after exiting the vehicle at the request of police departments, but I don't know if those changes are public or if they are linked to upfitting.)

Something like LightShow - only it's also active when en-route to the scene.

Perhaps contact the Fremont, CA police department as I believe that they had a Model S as a patrol vehicle and recent added a Model Y.

Modifications to the Tesla Patrol Vehicles

• Overhead light-bar and siren
• Headlight and rear flashers

I was thinking the same thing.

Hi. Did you ever find a way to flash the front headlights?
