Matrix Headlights on LR Y?

[Goobers]

Hey guys. Are the Model Y Performance are the only ones that guarantee the Matrix lights? I hate the look of reflector headlights. I don’t see why that should be in a 60k+ car

Ordering a 7 seater can also guarantee it too, since those are only assembled in Fremont.

As for reflectors…. Have you actually seen the Matrix headlight? There’s a projector on the outer side, but two reflectors on the inner side. Those two are even bigger than the ones on the non-Matrix lights as the two have a lot more room than the 5 or 6 in the non-Matrix lights. Personally, I like the looks of the non-Matrix lights more, since it’s more uniform across.

Just pick up my MYLR, PF68xxxx (produced Feb 2023) with Matrix lights, no PPF and mud flap.

Do we know if Mega Berlin made 2023 MY LR will have Matrix or not.

Is the Matrix function enabled on Matrix equipped cars ?

If not, do we expect there to be an upgrade to make the matrix headlights do actual "matrix headlight dimming" in the future ?

Any idea if enabling the matrix functionality (If not already enabled) will be a paid upgrade ?

Have a Fremont build MYLR F694 and SA confirmed it has matrix headlights.
Picking up next Saturday. March 4th

picked up my Fremont build 5 passenger MY LR white with black interior and it came with Matrix headlights and carpets for front and back.

Thanks. Will keep you posted.

Hi,
I just Picked up Fremont Model Y LR and it has Matrix Head light and I think better quality. door closing is not harsh as earlier model.

Matrix HL are officially called Global HL in Tesla part catalog. Outside of North America, all MY have these Global HL. However, I have not seen full function Matrix HL on the MY or M3 for any market.

But is this Matrix function (turning off individual LED's to not blind oncoming traffic, while effectively having high beam in your own lane of travel) at all implemented in any Tesla's.

I was under the impression that right now even Matrix headlamps works like ordinary non-matrix LED lamps ? (All LED's high or low beam)

That's what I mean. They function like normal LED projector HL. They are good and bright but no "smart" feature like some European car makers.

But we hope / expect that some day, there will be a software update that brings the Matrix function to life right?

Has Tesla said anything about this or hinted that they were working on this ?

Probably going to be a paid upgrade, like the performance boost though

Nope, don't think Tesla has ever mentioned a planned software update. It's completely legal and has been available on several other cars for years in Europe but even there Tesla hasn't done anything special with Matrix headlights.

Matrix lights are technically legal in the US as of recently, however the NHTSA has not released the standards to allow manufacturers to actually be approved and enable their matrix/adaptive lighting systems. It's likely that Tesla will prioritize this once the US releases guidances which will then be enabled where legal in the world over time.

Let us know...someone was told they are switching back to non-matrix and if that is true it would probably be in the 68XXXX or 69XXXX Vins as I know al the 66 and 67XXXX series seem to still have matrix.

I picked up my MYLR with **PF684*** 2 weeks ago, and it came with Matrix headlights. With lots of night-driving the "light curtain" you're looking at makes it easy on the eyes...until you have oncoming traffic ;o) then you're back to squinting...

Yeah i live in Europa and this is a feature a lot of new "luxury" cars have, and they work great, so it is really strange they dont just enable it.

But again....I bet they are going to do it as a paid upgrade through the app.

I hope that's the case on our New Model Y, my 2022 Performance slams so hard. I'm afraid people are going to break something when they close the doors.

I just took delivery of my Freemont LRMY 7 seater and it came with matrix headlights AND lumbar support. Welcome additions given that the 7 seater costs $4,000 ($1,000 more than last year..)

Are you talking front passenger lumbar support? Driver's side has always been there. Passenger side was removed sometime in 2021.

I’m taking delivery of a Fremont-built Model Y LR AWD in a week or two and my SA says it will have the Matrix headlights. Not sure if I believe them but it would be a nice surprise. Also said it comes with the cargo cover, front mud flaps, and the rear fender PPF.

 

[McRican]

My MYLR was delivered this week. It was an Austin build and no matrix headlights.

picked up my Fremont build 5 passenger MY LR white with black interior and it came with Matrix headlights and carpets for front and back.

I'm surprised that you got a Fremont build while living in Florida.
