It's only rumor. Even European spec M3 with new lights don't have any fancy feature. US spec certainly don't have it yet due to regulation. All these people waiting for new lights are for the hope of future software update and changes of regulation. No one has actually taken the new lights apart to see if the hardware is there.
That's not Matrix feature. It's has clear cut off because of projectors, which is not a new technology. Matrix is a name use by Audi for their smart high beam. This video just showed new beam patterns from new headlights, nothing to do with smart features.
This is the issue, no one has shown that this is the same technology as existing "projector" or "matrix" headlights in other brands - everyone has just seen that these have clear cutoffs in that specific video...
Yeah, there must be many thousands of owners with new headlights (M3 and MYP) by now, but NO ONE has come out to show or prove how great these lights are. It's because there is not much difference in term of function besides appearance and beam patterns.
Again, video is about Audi, not applicable in Tesla. There is no video of Tesla headlights with actual Matrix function in action, Even Audi doesn't offer this feature in the US if you look at the US speck e-Tron.
The matrix is there. You can see it in the first minute of the video below. The functionality just hasn't been activated in the software yet.
That's the high beam turning on. If you understand the promise of Matrix headlights, you'd know that individual LED section can be turn off depending on incoming traffic. You can't just turn it on off manually from inside the car if there is no incoming traffic headlights.
You are spot on. There is absolutely NO evidence at this time to indicate the headlights are anything other than a redesign that includes a projector beam. There is an ambiguous regulatory filing from Germany that suggests they might be adaptive but even that is unclear.
This.
I'm fairly certain the Model 3 is already shipping with the "Global" headlight.
No, all new Model 3s come with them as well. That is why people are waiting for them on Model Y. If it was only MYP then it would be a premium trim type option so you’d need the P to get them. Since they are on the SR 3 most everyone is assuming they will be on all MY tomorrow. Or the next day. Or the day after that....
