Any Model Y with new projector headlights in the USA?

It’s partly subjective I believe. I briefly looked to previous posts and did not find anywhere that the MY ratings from IIHS changed. I did find comparisons between the Model 3 reflectors vs projectors in this thread though.
Here is the 2020 model 3 reflectors. Maybe the Good rating takes into account the high beams.
Here is the Model Y with reflectors. Similar performance with the M3 reflectors but rated lower. Could be the high beams.
And here is the Model Y with LED projector. It shows a better performance in my opinion.
Whether it’s significant or not it’s subjective. I can still enjoy the car even with led reflectors.

I get that. It can be subjective. They’re not bad headlights. But I wouldn’t say that they’re great.

Since I am still waiting/postponing my MY LR delivery, I definitely hope this Drive Tesla Canada's report that "Tesla did make one other change to specs page, updating the image of the Model Y LR to have the newer matrix LED headlights." means the LR will be shipping with the Matrix headlights soon.
The table below is from IIHS 2021 Tesla Model Y 4-door SUV
under Headlights expand Technical measurements for this test.

No way to tell until people start seeing them on MYLR deliveries it seems

Sounds like you want the new matrix headlights and are resurrecting a lot of old threads to ask about it. There is only one way to get it on a Y. Order a MYP.
I suspect this and the "Acceptable" rating by IIHS on the MY LR headlights will push Tesla to use the new headlights in the MY LR, if they haven't already started the cut over to the matrix headlights.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally approved the use of adaptive headlights in the United States.

I hope so. They appreciate the IIHS crash rating enough to advertise it on their website so it’s not just some random group doing random testing.I suspect this and the "Acceptable" rating by IIHS on the MY LR headlights will push Tesla to use the new headlights in the MY LR, if they haven't already started the cut over to the matrix headlights.

all MY's have had an 82kWh battery pack since spring of last year.
NO MYLR will have matrix headlights in the US. Some MYP might start to have them. Different wiring harnesses.

The wording harness is the same as the connectors on matrix and non-matrix are the same (3 pins - ground, live and LIN)

product differentiation.
MYP gets it. MYLR does not.
If you want the fancy, you pay fancy.

These look like LR coming out of Austin. Can anyone tell if those are matrix headlights??
