Yes, “create a good relationship “ praise him and encourage him to do his job. That is really good advice. May be bake him a cake, baby sit his kids, paying 129 K for your truck just does not cut it to deserve a light bar which you already paid for.

2nd reply - Did all that, and it worked!

Looks like a big gap. Any chance the light bar was accidentally installed upside down? That gap is going to catch air, bugs and dirt.

Maybe.

I feel the

I felt the same frustration since 05/2024 when we got the truck and didn't get the wheel covers, or the lightbar. However, I wanted to get it as soon as possible. I knew I was not going to get anything rubbing my rights and "deep pocket" to the Tesla advisors' noses. But kindness and humbleness move mountains, and I only had to wait 10 months. However, I made a promise to never again support Tesla with any launch product. By nature I am not an early adopter, lesson confirmed. I thought I was going to be one of the few that will have the prestige of having a Foundation truck. Now I see that it means nothing, anyone can have it. They definately botched the effort and trust of those that invested a fortune.

I feel the same, sorry I was sarcastic, just venting, enjoy your finally complete truck.

Maybe the gap is a channel to direct water coming up from the windshield around the light bar?

That's an interesting point of view.

Seems like a recipe for the wind ripping it off at highway speeds. Recommend you have Tesla refit it.

I have nearly the same distance on my aftermarket light bar. No issues or much hit to range after 3k miles.

The gap between the surface of the windshield and the lip of the light housing is created by the bead of epoxy they use to adhere the light to the glass. It's not signifantly large enough to affect the drag profile, but I have had to pull some leaves out of it from time to time.

Here's a pic...

Did you measure the gap? I have 3.95 mm. The istall looks good, im just asking if 3.95 is normal.
