Vendor 2021 MIC Model 3 owners - do you have these [sensors] on your car?

[Tevo Solutions]

After seeing a comment on another thread regarding the headlight levelling sensors on a Model 3, there's a possibility these sensors have been deleted on the latest MIC cars and headlight levelling is done in a different way.
If you have one of the latest MIC Model 3s and wouldn't mind taking a look, it would be useful to know as we have had a few issues with these sensors. If they've been deleted it could make headlight levelling more reliable.
The sensors are usually only fitted to the left side of European Model 3s (the passenger side for a UK RHD car).
If you can take a peek and maybe post a photo of what you see that would be very helpful.
TIA.

On a FB group yesterday, this subject was mentioned. Richard Symons posted a video of a MIC car, which still had this sensor fitted as per your photos.

I don't see any of this on my 2021 Model 3 Performance MIC

I have the new 'matrix' headlights as well

I don't see any of this on my 2021 Model 3 Performance MIC

Mine was September 2021 delivery... if month matters

I must admit, I thought the Performance model 3 was made in Freemont only, not in China?

In Q1 this year there were no performance models supplied to the UK whilst production moved to China, Q2 onwards all Model 3 vehicles sold in the UK have been MiC - SR+, LR and Performance.

Says on my VIN Number... and a big stamp under the car

Made in China

Haven't got a picture at the moment from our September 21 model 3 but one of the first things we did was have them levelled and it required to drive the car around for a bit as one of the steps in order to get it done. I thought it was something to do with the latest software update but our September 2020 did not ask for this after updating to the same software.

My June 21 SR+ MIC has it

Thanks for the clarification. Duly noted.

I’m sure it is! Can’t wait to get mine! All the best.

Thanks everyone, so it does seem that some don't have them fitted now, but it's not clear when this change took place.
It does seem to suggest that the very latest cars may have less issues with headlight levelling, as this continues to be a problem on some cars from what we've seen.

It's not there on my Sep 2021 SR+

It’s not there on my LR built around 21st July 2021:

Definitely seems like a change that occurred for Q3 2021
