Do MLY come with matrix headlights?
- Thread starter Sid P
- Start date
I’ll cancel if I don’t get a Fremont build. The only reason I’m even considering trading in is to get HW4 and matrix headlights, and transfer FSD. Otherwise, I’ll gladly loose the $250 deposit, and wait for the refreshed Y coming soon, or the cybertruck I have a reservation for.

I don’t understand why Austin and Fremont wouldn’t have the same headlights for the same car. You’d think they would want to be as uniform as possible.

When I asked the advisor what determines if a vehicle is getting matrix headlight to get their response even though we see the trend of Austin vs Fremont builds, the advisor’s response was “It's just based on what we have in supply at the time!”

And, this is the ONLY thing the Matrix's are used for. My understanding is the US feds STILL will not allow Matrix headlights on US roads.If MY have Matrix, headlights offer the special ability to project the word 'Tesla' during the light show easter egg

Yep, picked up an Austin built MYLR out of Mt Kisco last week, matrix headlights, HW4.

they are now officially approved in the US. My MYP doesn't seem to use them as intended though. It just does the normal high/low beam split

They are approved, but need to be dimmer than the rest of the world. This may be why Tesla and other manufactures have yet to make them function as advertised.

Sooo, the Highland M3 is getting the Matrix headlamp function enabled it seems.
Sounds to me like they are probably not going to enable them on the "old" M3 and the existing MY's, only the new model.
My guess is, since they have been putting these on, only some of the M3 and MY in the past, they dont want to enable them, to avoid massive complaints from those who lost in the "Did i get Matrix headlamps on my Tesla" lottery.
Sad really, my MY LR has them and i would really have liked for Tesla to enable them, seems so wasteful of them to install them, if they never intended to use them as such, i bet the Matrix headlamps has cost Tesla more than if they had just bought regular LED headlamps without the Matrix function.

In that case we should see "old" model 3 and Y, that was fitted with matrix headlamps get the upgrade as well.
There is no good reason to not enable these, atleast in the EU where Matrix headlamps has been legal since atleast 2015.
To be honest i am not holding my breath, while waiting for them to enable it, i will be pleasently surprised if they do, but i genuinely think they are going to go the "Matrix headlamp functionality is only available in the new 3 and Y" way.

Even if your MY has them, there is no guarantee they will ever be "turned on"
They just made the Highland M3 headlamps use this a bit, but the "old" M3's don't have it even if their headlamps support it.
