Too much hassel for me, my initial reason for the YP was that it was available in November ( as opposed to having to wait untill FEB of next year). I've come to terms with the wait now ,plus if they reset that EV rebate for Tesla I save another 8K

Same - Our MYP headlights are the new Matrix LED's, and also have a nice crisp cut off.

Just to clarify, the older lights that ship on the MYLR aren’t projector.
They’re reflectors while the new global lights are projectors. I think for a lot of people getting the MYLR with the reflectors, their opinions will vary based on what kind of car they’re coming. I had a BMW X3 with fully adaptive LEDs and the lights on my MYLR are a noticeable downgrade — definitely not awesome.At least the fogs are projectors! I remember in 1989, when the 1990 Accord came out, the first car ever to have clear lenses with faceted reflectors, and we all thought it was amazing. There were a few projector lens headlights out there, mostly in BMWs, who called the technology 'ellipsoid beam' and were in housings made to resemble big round sealed beam headlights.Just to clarify, the older lights that ship on the MYLR aren’t projector.
Tesla Crash lab video has a model Y with induction wheels with the new headlights. Old console though looking like vin in 45k, guess they did indeed want to bring the updated headlights to all models but then someone decided not to update them for North America..
I’m following this thread because I want to believe that it’s possible to retrofit the new headlights into cars that have the old headlights, but the main reason I want them is the aesthetics. I prefer the look of the projector headlights and their blacked-out interiors (i.e., I prefer this over the chrome-laden old headlights).
I find all the speculation about the new headlights being software-limited matrix headlights to be funny. The Model 3/Model Y don’t even have auto-leveling headlights, nor the sensors to enable that functionality, which is a key part of actual matrix headlights. My $.02: these are just a newer style headlight, with interesting “service menu” functionality. Probably a preview of Tesla headlight technology to come, and nothing more. That or a part of yet another “in two weeks” update that the cars will never get. I’m wagering that actual updated headlight functionality won’t come till a second gen Model Y debuts. If European Model 3/Model Y isn’t even getting the best version of current headlights (they’re not, since output above a certain amount requires auto-leveling and headlight washers), then no way the U.S. will, given our ridiculously outdated FMVSS.

Yep that's been true for a few months now. MYP got them the same time as all the M3s.
I think the $2000 increase is that they auto select the upgrades wheels…

Yes, it Is a shorter delivery time as well. Wheel upgrade or paint upgrade shortens the timeline. White with geminis adds a couple months. Tells you they have a backlog of the base orders so anything different will get made sooner.
No there is an actual $2000 price increase.. the wheels were last week but it actually increase price yesterday
