was it sized for the top of the windshield?
barring something fitted for this purpose, you probably could cut down something like this for vans into a narrower piece.
of course, install it upside down so it's viewing up vs. down

The one I have is from LightInSight.com. I learned about it on TMC years ago. If you search the Roadster forum for "Fresnel" you can find the post with a nice photo. I just tried to view their website without success, but the product still appears to be available on Amazon.com (only 13 left in stock!)
That is great! My only issue with the S was that I couldn't see traffic lights. (I'm 6'8" or so).
I'll keep this in mind if the cybertruck has the same issue.
(Tesla could also put the wide angle camera on the display....)

I wonder how the SAE-recommended mirror positions affect backing? Didn't see that addressed. I need to see the sides of my car b/c I have a very tight garage. I would be concerned that the SAE-recommended mirror positions might make backing into my garage more difficult.

I can personally vouch for 1349, having seen it in person last year. Not to mention it is meticulously cared for by a very knowledgeable owner. It’s also one of maybe three Roadsters that has an integrated Tesla II charge port, which the current S, X, 3 & Y vehicles use. No need for a CAN SR adapter.

Did someone install that Type II port after purchase? Curious how they did that.
It's not a Type II conversion which would only work in Europe and HK. It's a Tesla 2 conversion. I know the person who did the conversion. He said there is no latch to prevent the connector from accidentally pulling out and experiencing a live disconnect.

Thanks, Henry. Corrected my wording above. Does this mean you’d have to be careful unplugging it?

This is 100% what I was curious of, if could be done, months ago.
interesting to know I can now purchase one of a few with said modification.
that said, I own both the Sr and Jr. solid products! Thanks for making these.
interesting they put in the 1.5 seats or requested those during the build.
You have to be careful that the car is not charging when you unplug it. It's easy to forget every once in a while so it's nice not to have to think about it. I would be more worried about any kind of movement that caused the cable to be tugged on, such as bumping, kicking or just organizing the cable. You really don't want the contacts to be moving at all when there's 30, 40, or 70A going through them. Maybe I'm over reacting but the Tesla 2 connector was designed to be latched.

If mine still yields 135 miles after 137K I'd be happy. Hopefully they'll be a 3.0 battery by then.
