I’m wondering this myself. I hope I’m not going backwards for night time driving

This guy has some good videos and mentions the headlights in one recent one, I believe this one:
Its definitely a step backwards in night time driving. IIHS rates the model 3 "Good" which is their best score for headlights. Meanwhile the 2021 model S (theoretically using the same headlights as the refresh) rates "Poor" which is their worst rating. Below are the charts for headlight performance.
Thanks for the info. Really disappointing that they didn’t fix this issue and update the headlights to at least be on par with the MS
After reading for a while on the threads, it is important to note that updates don’t mean anything unless we know the order# and specs of the car. To simply say “changed to October” or “now august!!” says and means nothing to the group. Just an FYI.
Changed to October. RN1152 ordered July 6 white/black 19 no fsd
See, you guys never would have found each other without posting the specs. My job here is done
I feel like after seeing photos of the headlights, they seem different. Has any one definitively confirmed that they did not change in anyway?
To be honest, I also had no issues in my 2019 Raven Model S LR. Guess my eye sight sucks hahah
The part number in the EPC is the same which is why we have assumed they are the same. I have no idea though.
I can say in my MYP, the headlights were noticeably amazing. Like everyone commented on how good they were. I would really hope the more expensive MS LR would be a step up from that.
I’ve never driven a MS before so I don’t know how bad the headlights actually are, but I’m pretty particular with lighting and will be able to tell you if they truly do suck once I take delivery
I have a 2017 S 75D. Headlights are fine
Looks like a lot of folks are getting dates to appear in their accounts this morning. Production…of 21s and 19s….is ramping

Alright all. A little hope for you all still waiting and have less then stellar SA's. I ordered in Feb and did the whole song and dance for months even getting a narrowed down delivery date range just to have all that disappear. This was when I started to think of other options. I located a few other Tesla Stores near me and called in the morning on Friday asking if there was any in stock Model S's AKA Refused deliveries for whatever reason the buyer chose not to get the car, the car is perfect. I was lucky enough to have had a manager answer when i called a different location and she offered to put me down for the "Right to first refusal". Literally a few hours later i got a call from my SA explaining that she called him and they had an almost identical match but rather then blue it was MSM. They were able to tie the VIN to my account and said I would have to pickup the car in 3 days. Well Needless to say, they set me up for a delivery appointment yesterday morning and I finally got the car!
Like everyone else said before, it is worth the wait and frustration. It does not forgive Tesla for the antics and lack of communication but, It feels much better now. Hope this info can help others in the same boat! Cheers all!

Stories are rare, but the happen. I have been poking the two service centers in my location in hopes for getting a customer refusal or decline. Semi-flexible on the configuration.
Happy you got one! Enjoy it!

Very true. Thank you very much. Hoping you are able to pull one in soon.
Now that I got August again for my EDD, just my luck they’re going to contact me and say it’s available while I’m out of the country for a week
