so i am confident that they are testing the new tail lights.

hopefully this will mean CCS2 plugs in European markets (at last)

No black bar between the lights either

I'm now happy my order EDD was pushed from Dec to Jan!

That black bar is held on by tape essentially so I’m less concerned about that than I am a new hatch.

That should hopefully be the case, given that there is a new larger charge inlet for the new taillights that was seen in the parts catalog when it was first updated.

What is behind the bar? Would it looks good if you removed it? I assumed the hatch was new, but maybe not.

Looks like there are some clips or something behind it

I don't think the new taillights will fit. At least it will require more than just the taillights. You'll need a new charge port, too. And probably a new busbar going from the charge port to the battery. The charge port will sit a little further back in the vehicle in order to accommodate CCS (for Europe).

Yeah, we’ll have to see. Once the parts become available I’m sure someone will attempt it.

My guess is that they lights for Europe. The US may follow.

Riding in the back, no belts no ac, and the tailgate open for ventilation? Get a headache just thinking about it.

Also, looked like the wagon in Nat lampoon's "Vacation"

or got a headache from carbon monoxide

But all new S and X orders for Europe/rest of world are on hold......so would it not make sense to get these on North American vehicles...pretty please?

Oh yeah I definitely think it's coming. There's a good chance we start seeing deliveries in the US with these right before of just after the end of 2021.

Not that optimistic here in the States.

Not that optimistic here in the States.

Why? It's testing at Fremont already, and I *think* I some other Model S in the lot without the taillight bar.

Likely for the China market, similar to all the improvements made there on the 3/Y models, not yet rolling out here.

Guys the Plaid isn't due in China until next quarter lol. The reason why 3 and Y get changes in China first is because GigaShanghai is designed by Tesla from the ground up, and it's easier to make changes there. S and X are built at Fremont, so there's no reason to do this.

Cybertruck on the test track!!!!!
5:42 mark

i couldn't spot it - tried about 5 times. i did see a ton of white interiors at the logistics lot at 6:22 or so - however i saw a bunch of wheels and stalks - i can't really differentiate the models, other than the X having the gaps on the roof.
hopeful, lots and lots of activity at the logistics lot!
Still, I thought i'd have a VIN by now.

Ok try this one then lol. You'll see it just fine lol!

I saw some mention here about testing new tail lights - can anybody share any info?

It is on one vehicle on the track. We do not know it is being tested for anything. They also had a wing on a car but that does not make it inevitable,

I am routing for new lights and do think that they will update the lights at some point in the next two weeks...
