Facelift Model3 Teaser

[MrHopsing]

I also notice in that picture of the red model 3 with different headlights it also has Hankook tires.

Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 are standard on 19" here in Europe, aren't they in the states?

They were Continental ProContact RX (235/40R19) in the USA back when I had last checked. I am not sure if they changed that.

The photo is showing pretty much the same lens element that's found on many other premium cars like Mercedes and Acura - not a light bulb. I don't get why it's so unbelievable?

 

[Dave EV]

People are supposedly getting cars with the new headlights now - surely someone else can find a new car with them to get more pics?

Maybe a side-by-side and review of the new headlights at night?

It would be interesting to know what the benefits of the new headlight design is. Personally, I like the old design better as far as aesthetics.

Along with Facelift, there looks to be no chrome, at least in China.

One benefit is that the light source or the lens element can move allowing headlights to "turn in" with you as the steering wheel turns. This is a common feature on other luxury cars so this could potentially enable that.

all along it thought the "steering wheel lights" option in the menu were for swiveling headlamps.

although ive found them useless in past cars anyway

Been waiting for this to happen for a long time.

I like how people was so quick on judging him and by the looks of it this was an early sign of the rumours we're just hearing about now.

Well, to be fair, OP was the first one who started name-calling (see post # 5).

And his initial post did come across as something that wasn't legit, though I wouldn't have judged him so quickly either.

Except that he posted a picture of some random headlight, and not the new one with the side lens.

I can do it too ..

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know there will be changes to the battery system on the model 3! Just remember I said it first, when it actually occurs sometime in the future.

Uh, did you even look at the first post's pics? He posted the closest shot of the new model 3 headlights, even for today, that anyone else has ever seen. You really can't tell that those are 3's headlight? It's so obvious...

Hey I know you. First time seeing your post here.

Maybe adaptive LED


And LED's can be in projectors. The second gen Volt has LED headlights in a projector housing. Doubt they are xenons


Seen a few pics now of cars with these headlights so it's probably real, or some aftermarket headlight, but probably OEM

 

[evster]

Those new headlights looks ace. The projector will beam wider and a produce much more even light cone. The current Model 3 headlights looks so dated and has done since release.

All European cars have these kind of lights so I'm happy to see that Tesla follow down the same path.

Tesla have for instance not auto leveling in any of the existing headlights and this is something I really hope the new light will provide. It feels like going back 10 years in time with current Tesla lights compared to any light from BMW, Porsche, VW or Audi. Dynamic cornering lights and Matrix lights are so good that you don't want to be without it if you have tested it once.

If you downvote this post, I'm sure you have never tested a car with well functioning lights.

Here's an old video from 2014 showing the Matrix function that now is most modern cars. At least available as an option:

The other pics weren't loading on my phone, all it showed was the first one

Are you smoking the blunt Elon smoked?


Model 3 headlights are some of the brightest headlights I've seen. Mine are blindingly bright for others. There is nothing dated about them lul
