I now wonder if the headlight bulbs will be LED, halogen or incandescent. The latter two would insure that headlights don't ice over in the winter.

Some jeeps are getting LED aftermarket options that have little heater defrost strips built in that help with icing. The other issue I have heard from some owners of the Cybertruck is directly below the headlights there's a shelf that holds snow / ice.

The slate appears to have that same issue with the recessed headlights that might trap snow and ice:

The Telo pickup seems to dodge that issue with the flush mounts:

Just guessing, LED. Remember back in the "day" just leaving your head lights on over night would kill a battery.... I may be wrong, but I can't think of a single reason why they would not use LED.

Yep. More reliable, longer life, brighter, more flexible. I know the taillights are LED (or at least it's a build option).

It won't be an option. They are getting this down to the fewest part numbers as possible. Rear tail light is a single part number that you just flip to fit either side. Headlights will be the same way.
