What it is

Tesla's exterior post describes concealed headlights that pop down, not up. The modules are described as about 15 mm tall, with low and high beam in one unit. A light bar runs the width of the nose.

Tail

The same coverage describes a full-width tail lamp. Tesla's rear studio photograph shows a continuous lamp across the tail.
