    I can’t believe that the light bar would generate enough heat to cause that sort of damage. All the lights on other models of Tesla’s are LED, which generates very little heat. I can’t believe they’d use something other than LEDs here as well.

      Light focused in the right way can generate ample heat even if produced by a low-heat source, like an LED.

        I work regularly with theatrical LED lighting fixtures. They’re downright cold compared to halogen stage lights.

          Correct. However my 11 year old son plays with an LED flashlight and a magnifying glass and it is downright scary what he can fuck up.
