This is the only thing that makes sense as they can't execute on their promise to re-enable park assist and auto park without the front camera. I'm pretty sure a lot of folks are going to be pissed (in the legal sense) if they don't offer the front camera as a free retrofit.

Wondering about this too. Tesla Vision park assist has improved a lot from what I’ve seen/read recently. It’s creeping closer to parity with USS. I wonder if that’s the reason they 86’d the camera on the Highlands. I know that Elon loves to have teams competing to deliver on his “first principles.” If it’s possible with software/AI without additional hardware, Elon will always veto the latter.
Edit: I could see him relenting on a bumper cam for CT, as it sits up very high with a longer front overhang, making it difficult for the front facing cams to see front facing objects. Also for offroad applications (rocks, boulders, uneven terrain etc).

They happened to have an appointment one day out when I scheduled. The next appointment was a week or two out. It took two hours to install.

Ambient is ok but I'm not sure I like the execution on it by Tesla. Reminds me of my frat brothers heavily moded Honda civic. It was cool for impressing dates in the 90s but now, meh. Bumper camera nice to have but no deal breaker.
Similar trim setup to my Audi. It does look nicer and more tasteful. That said, with today’s large displays, still a bit busy and over the top imo.
So I know many including myself have posted that the S/X have the RGB lighting wiring already. That definitely used to be true, but looks like that changed at some point. Decided to pop off one of the trim pieces in my car, and the wiring isn't present. So I think a retrofit is much less likely
You can see the wiring in this youtube video.

Not sure at what point they removed it

Model S LR built Jan 2023 and mine has the trim wiring.

There are a bunch of threads on that but the round steering wheel is the safer bet if you don't get a chance to test drive it with a yoke. No one hates the round steering wheel, not everyone likes the yoke.

Well, that's the best statement on this subject that I've read to date.
I’m now being asked to reconfigure my car due to the EPA change. Does this mean no more free ultra red?
That’s what happened to me. Lost the savings and canceled my X order - blessing in disguise because I really wanted the S instead
