Model 3 RWD Matrix Headlights
- Thread starter PHX_Rob
- Start date
On the Model Y the Performance gets matrix and the rest get reflectors, but on the Model 3 that is not the case. Seems like this year there was just a mix of old style reflector/new style matrix it just depended on what exact car you got.
Your sales advisor should be able to tell from the VIN and then once it arrives you can verify before you take delivery. The matrix headlights have a projector on the outer side

Teslas implementation of these is a huge letdown and non-operational (as intended) anyway under current laws.
Besides, the 2023 refresh/facelift may end up with a very different headlight all together, shape and all. Or even if the housing shape is maintained, the headlight innards are bound to change once again, making the current matrix headlights another legacy assembly.... likely only good for spelling out Tesla a few times a year at holidays.

Subjective. To me, as irrelevant as my personal opinion is, they look worse. Just as the black/chrome trim, red/amber taillight turn signals and pre/post refresh 19" wheel design debates - there are those who prefer one look/finish/color vs the other.They look better though & spell out Tesla during light show.
I like the look of the Matrix headlights, we just got a new set in our inventory the other day and they look great! They also have some super neat features. I wish there was a way to retrofit them to a non-matrix car, because I have a feeling they would sell much quicker.

Confirmed RWD picked up this month has matrix headlights. Every model 3 had matrix headlights when I picked up. All of them looked like RWD without the "dual motor" sticker on the trunk.

SIlly question... How can you easily tell if your Model 3 RWD has Matrix Headlights? And can spell tesla with certain light shows... Is there a way to check with the VIN or any other way?
Have you read the post right above yours? Or thousand others like it on TMC. Matrix have projectors in them and are darker.
edit: SA can tell you if your car has global headlights or not. Matrix = global. If he bothers.
