Definitely an increase in the instances of glare of headlights generally from my point of view also. Perhaps a slight reduction in the number which have a total failure to dip… maybe this is down to more cars having automated systems.

Matrix headlights - finally???
- Thread starter Tommo05
- Start date
Tesla has confirmed to the EMEA clubs that matrix lights will be enabled on all Model 3 and Y’s with the appropriate headlight hardware soon.
Same will happen for the new X and S (LHD ones we have) at some point later on.
First launching with what we’ve seen on the Highland 3’s (shadows for other cars) then more features to follow.
^ info confirmed by Will F on the Tesla Owners UK FB
Soon can obviously mean many things in Tesla land, but promising that the approvals are in place etc..

More features? How about a short “Buy a Tesla” subliminal message shined into the retinas of the masses who the car can see isn’t yet driving one?
Joking aside, if they could do something fancy like turn directions on the road, that would be super cool.

Rumour has it, if you shine high intensity light accurately and directly at rain drops as they fall you can cause them to evaporate before they hit the windscreens. This will allow Tesla cars in Q3 to ship without windscreen wipers.
They will call this Laser Rain Shield.
They look to be working well on the Highland. Also noticeable that the auto highbeams aren't dipping in front of reflective signs. If they've fixed that at the same time as activating matrix lights it would be a big step forward.
Seen a few early videos of them and actually for a first attempt Tesla feature, they looked like they were working very well. Look forward to them rolling this out for the older cars with Matrix Headlights.

Start the light show and see if it projects 'Tesla' onto a wall.
But anything since 2022 (IIRC) should have them.

Mod comment - this is a 21 min video of highland matrix headlights with the conclusion he thinks they’re pretty good but he’s going to try and get more footage .

I also think they look pretty good and seem to be working pretty well as a v1 release which isn’t the normal Tesla way.
Impressive really when you consider that auto high beams weren't that good but hen again never were in other cars I had.... dark magic

About as clear as mud in that video! Many others out there that show it much better. This is the worst one I’ve seen. “As you can see on the left the lights….” Nope, can’t tell. “It’s a bad video, but as you can’t see, but I can, it’s doing….” Nice one, literally can’t tell mate.
Don’t waste 21 mins of your lives.

Can’t remember the others I’m afraid or I’d share links. This video is comparable to shutting your eyes, turning a torch on and seeing how bright it is.
