That's funny because one of my posts got removed for calling out a moderator who was moderating out comments that disagreed with his own point of view

Matrix headlights - finally???

I think it’s fairer to say I’m not a fan of 21 min videos that even the person making it says it’s hard to tell what’s going on
I am aware of one of your posts which got removed because you asked a question about how moderators are themselves moderated. That was off topic and would have been better as a direct message and I sent you a detailed answer at the time.
I guess I’m struggling to see how that could work given there’s been no previous indication of sharing video feeds in that way, and given that’s the only sensors now available must be at the core.
My hunch, and it’s only a hunch, I shared quite early on in this thread. Once the car has the spatial layout sorted which we now see as part of the Tesla vision parking views and many more cars visible on the screen when driving, that provides an opportunity to mask out those regions where cars are located using relatively simple trigonometry. I’ve not seen or heard any rumour of the Samsung offering, although it may well be the lights themselves have some third party software that translates ‘don’t illuminate over there’ to turning off the appropriate light sources. The hard part I would have thought was knowing where to turn off and when, and it’s that which I assume is Tesla
I think on balance he wanted to get a video out while adaptive headlights was the talk of the town, so to speak. Anyone making videos on "Tesla adaptive headlights DOES THIS NEAT TRICK #watchtilend" or whatever is going to capture a load of impressions in the short term while people are in the moment trying to find out all about it.
I liked RSymon's auto park comparison video with other marques, but it feels of late that he's pivoted to more of a "get a video out ASAP on whatever is being talked about" strategy.

Race to the bottom, the hallmark of information in the 21st century (so far).... It was to be expected, really.
I think because he's one of the first with a Highland he wants to get the videos out at a higher rate than normal. Tbh I don't mind as I enjoy the content
Yep here too. Some people get real twitchy mostly every time judging by the interaction though and it's not like he makes controversial content.
People should Leave these sort of comments comments on the youtube channel to be fair instead of backstabbing here and derailing threads.

I guess it depends on whether you're looking for entertainment or information. I suppose your expectations will be very different...

Get plenty of entertainment here... its a bit of a joke sometimes
That will be right. Its use for entertainment purposes is even included in the Terms of Service.
Apparently Highland is worse, for some reason.
Retrofitted matrix lights to my crusty old 2020 car today as part of an end-of-warranty inspection. Big thanks to James @ Cleevely for fitting them for me, and @Kate@Teslogic for coding them.
Obviously don’t do anything intelligent but hopefully soon…
(a terrible photograph for seeing the difference)

Ooooh! Are they available for the 2019?
And, may I ask, how much did they cost?
Not officially.
I bought the lights off eBay. Coding was done by a guy from Teslogic. Basically dialled into a laptop connected to my car with a diagnostic cable, and changed the gateway configuration. It can’t be done with the public Toolbox 3 offering…
Been following a few threads on here of people who have done it: New headlights retrofit
But yes - you could do it if you wanted to. I only bothered because of the chance that the pre-Highland lights would be made adaptive. They are better at illuminating the road though, based on a short drive earlier.

2021 M3P with EAP
Nice! Bet you’re glad it worked after the retrofit.In case anyone is interested - I received the 2024.8.4 update on my 2020 M3P earlier, and received the adaptive headlights feature on my retrofitted matrix headlights.
Happy with this result.
