New, more advanced version of rear lighted T for Model 3

[WilliamG]

There are slight differences in the width of the arch over the T owing to the COB LED technology and ability to manage manufacturing of small sizes. But even Tesla has changed the width of that arch. At first it was noticeably thinner.

In this lighted version it would take an eagle eye to notice the difference. Evidently you're that eagle eye Most other people wouldn't even notice.

You don’t need to be eagle-eyed at all. That looks nothing like the Tesla emblem. I mean to each his own but...NOPE!

Yes, if it's wired only to the brakes.

Does it match the brake light?

It’s good match—as close as possible.

My 3 is Red , so (I am only guessing) it would be better to go full brightness , to get the better color contrast ?

Also, Roughly how much extra time , does it take to connect to both circuits (as compared to license plate only) ?

Last year, I was quoted a price for install, but that was to the license plate only.

A skilled tech may need an extra 30 - 60 mins to wire the brake connection. I have red Tesla’s and the license plate level of brightness shows fine.

This is interesting. quick (very) nooby questions :

• Is there a way that future versions are thinner ? it looks like close to 1cm which seems very high/thick.
• Even if I wrapped my model 3, in quebec winters, dirt, mud, snow get at the back of the trunk lid (i do not know how... aerodynamics maybe ?) - so if making a hole, what would be the best way to "waterproof" the hole and stickiness of the T ?
• Is it in the realm of possibility to have the T alimented through wireless in a future version that would avoid percing the trunk ?

Would love to see one that is solar charged, which could work on the front trunk.

Any

Don’t know if Evannex will produce them for other Tesla’s, but if they don’t there will be other options. I’m determined to make them available for all Tesla’s.

Any update on a front model S 'T'?

 

[adhoc]

maybe I missed it?

model 3 lit T?
color? height? power?

thx!

Per the OP's op - the Rear T was developed with his partnership with Evannex. The front - not so much update since a year ago.

The Evannex Rear T for 3/X/Y and maybe S are actually on sale for $99 (from $299) among other things.
Combined with code ELONBUCKS ($10 off) - u can have $12 (was $40sh) T Puddle light almost for free...

 

[Gasaraki]

For sure. Not sure who will sell them but they're coming: Front and rear for the S, X. 3, Y, Cybertruck, and 2020 Roadster.



For now, just red on the rear (legal requirement when the car is moving), front white. But if there's enough demand we can make an RGB version and also provide a black film, for the chrome blackout fans, that provides the same effects as the chrome: black when off, red or white when lighted.

A black one would be nice.

still looks like the old one which just lights up not the sides not the OP's :
My original version and all of the current versions of the Ts are side lit – that is the light emanates from the side of the T, not the front, and the OEM chrome piece blocks any light emanating from the front.

Happily, I found a manufacturer who specializes in Chip On Board (COB) LEDs who could also manufacture a shell for the T and electroplate it with a thin chrome film that shows the entire T as chrome when not lit, then lights the entire shape of the T when lit.

I see this is a rather dated post, but are these by chance available yet? I've checked evannex and don't see anything and am having a hard time finding anything like it.

You're probably unlikely to be able to find any similar products now. Tesla recently sent out C&Ds for infringement.

How can I get one for a Model X?

 

[Singerjohn]

Yes, a 1/8 inch hole.

How do I get one for a Model X?

Anyone familiar with how these are molded? The wire broke from mine and wanted to reattach it. Tried to separate the chrome from the white plastic but it seems like it’s glued, not just snapped together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Old post but ran into the same issue. Any luck?
