I just been checking my '2021' M3 lights in a shed because I'm convinced they're too low, I can't seem to see where I'm going on dip.The one thing I wish the Model 3 headlights had, other than a functioning auto dip system, is a much wider spread of light. The lights seem to be bright enough in the beam centre, but what's really needed is a properly shaped beam that illuminates the side of the road a lot better, IMHO. Having proper beam forming with the lights dipped would also be really useful.
Sounds like you live in an absolutely idyllic place (broadband notwithstanding).
Very jealous!
On a really dark night I put my front fog lights on as well. Not been flashed so far. Give it a shot.
I found it really useful on sweeping country roads it just illuminated more of where you were actually goingI had never seen the point of turning (fog lights when turning) lights until Model 3, but on experience of roundabouts (and similarly tighter turns) with Model 3 and how hard the dropoff is to the sides I can see that this would be a useful feature.
People are calling them matrix lights but that seems to be basically a belief based on the knowledge that the logical next step up from projector headlights are “Matrix LEDs”, and it seems to be something people are familiar with, as a term.
I watched the RSymons video and the light throw is definitely different, giving a staggered/steps pattern, but I think people conflating that to be “matrix” are setting themselves up for disappointment, in my opinion.
Notwithstanding how long Tesla seem to take to do anything actually meaningful (if it’s a bugfix or new skins for Fallout Shelter they’re all over it like a tramp on chips) the fact they haven’t even sorted MIC SR+s being able to upgrade to heated steering wheels doesn’t fill me with confidence that they’re going to “unlock” some groundbreaking matrix-like tech any time soon. Why even deliver the cars with something so fundamental missing?
I don't think we'll ever get the dream of adaptive headlights. As I understand it they are still illegal in the US, I think the regulations state the beam should be a fixed shape.I assume they are being termed 'matrix' because they are made up of a matrix of LEDs rather than a single LED or group focussed via a lens.
As for whether they'll ever be adaptive or be able to draw pretty patterns on the wall/road when you approach the car who knows. I just assumed they'll be slightly wider/brighter than the previous versions and left it at that.
