Yeah I would call that bluff. I would almost guarantee you could get a car the first week of April. It’ll be leftovers they couldn’t sell in Q1, but I don’t think you’d be waiting till June. I would respond, I will guarantee to order and accept delivery if you can guarantee me X features.

When do you get your delivery? I'm dying to know if that is true about LRs now getting the new headlights. Please let us know!!

Shows as 2-5 weeks. On Friday there were 25 days left in the month. I wouldn’t dnt say it is guaranteed but definitely possible.
Visually, how do you recognize the difference with the new projector headlights from the original? I’ve been told by my SA the LR is also shipping with the new headlights but I don’t believe that to be true.
I went to the delivery center here in St. Louis a few days ago. TONS of Model Ys, but only one had the updated lights (it was performance).
The sales girl said they all have them, but she had no idea what she was talking about. All the cars on the lot were mid-February builds according to the window sticker.

Red is new, metallic is old. On the lateral edge of the light you will see a circular bulb rather than vertical slots all the way across.

yah the only info we have right now is that the MYP has the new headlights. Not sure about LR AWD built in March.
Also, I was talking to a buddy here and he told me his friend said that there's no point getting the updated matrix led's because regardless, you, the driver, won't be able to enjoy it. If anything it may hinder the ability to see as if there are future updates that allow matrix style LED compatibly, it would for instance turn off a few LED's if it sees a pedestrian, etc.
Something to think about it..

I pick it up on the 18th. I'll let you know then.
I agree with your comments on matrix led headlights. Projector headlights and matrix led headlights are different technologies aren’t they?
Projectors are the round bulbs you see in a lot of cars' headlights. They typically provide a more uniform and even beam of light than reflector housing. Matrix LED can you projector style housing to provide LED lights as the main lighting source. These can also turn on or off certain LEDs depending on what's in front of the car. It's like having always on hi beams except they can turn off LEDs that would blind another drive or a pedestrian while keeping other parts lit.
This video does a goos job of explaining it.
Model Y 7 seater, VIN 138,xxx. Took delivery today and it has the old headlights.

Doubt it. The thing is it would make sense if they did it to the M3. However the cheapest of the cheap M3 has the new headlights as well
It's so frustrating that the LR Y doesn't have them. They must have a pretty huge stock of them or a contract with a supplier to produce them.
I was able to confirm today that all MY LR now have the heated steering wheel and the news console. They do NOT have the projector headlights. As many others have stated the MYP does have all three features in the latest February builds.
