Tesla Finally Starts Selling Cybertruck Off-Road Light Bar Separately

Tesla has begun selling the Cybertruck Off-Road Light Bar directly through its North American online store, making the roof-mounted lighting kit available to owners of any trim.

Previously, the light bar was available exclusively as a Foundation Series accessory and came standard with Foundation Series Cyberbeast orders, prompting some non-Foundation owners to purchase units from those who did not plan to use them. Now, any owner in the U.S. and Canada can order through the Tesla Shop or via the Tesla app, with availability expected to roll out to international Cybertruck markets later.

Specs and Touchscreen Integration

According to the official product listing, the Off-Road Light Bar is priced at $1,950 USD ($2,700 CAD). The product description notes: "The Cybertruck Off-Road Light Bar features a high-performance light bar that utilizes the 48V architecture of Cybertruck. With the latest LED optical technology, it can cast a powerful and uniform beam of light onto the trail ahead. The single housing is designed to accommodate reflectors for easy ditch lighting. Control the light angle, intensity and other settings through the touchscreen."

The hardware mounts to the outside of the roof at the top of the windshield and draws power from the top-mounted 48V auxiliary power tap built into the frame. It integrates with the truck’s software so it can be controlled from the touchscreen. Although early pre-production renders from 2019 hinted at a built-in laser lightbar, that design did not reach production; instead, Tesla offers an optional LED setup. The system is extremely bright and ships with a protective blackout film attached. Tesla does not recommend removing this film, and company technicians will not remove it.

A More Secure Installation

The purchase price includes shipping to a local service center and full installation. However, the product listing provides the following legal notice: "Tesla employees are not permitted to connect or assist with the RH B-pillar connection of the Cybertruck Off-Road Light Bar harness to the roof accessory jumper harness. Only the customer or a third-party entity is permitted to complete the light bar harness connection."

The permanent installation has been redesigned to enhance safety. Initially, technicians installed the light bar using urethane glue, but Tesla recalled all early installations last fall after instances where the adhesive failed and the accessory detached while driving. Engineers then rolled out a mechanical remedy, replacing the glue with high-strength VHB tape for flush mounting and adding solid roof-bolted brackets to keep the Off-Road Light Bar securely attached to the vehicle structure. Tesla also offers a Terrestrial Armor Package for the Cybertruck to reinforce the underbody and sides for off-roading.
