you seem to be well edumicatedIt is "commonalized"... It is part of the electricification.
Have you used the current headlights? They're absolutely terrible. Model 3's are way better so if these are the same, they're a huge upgrade.
"...you put the best in undumbest"I have used for almost 22k miles (almost 1/2 in the dark). Not seeing "absolutely terrible" in the them. But as @IamGaryGnu pointed out - I am not the undumbest.
I suspect dedicated EV advocate/researcher/investor, with no ties to EM, nor a bot.You seem to have the inside scoop on lots of stuff. Elon's cousin?
Maybe it's your super canine vision? I will opine once I get my S back from detailer and do some driving with my old, nearsighted eyes.I have used for almost 22k miles (almost 1/2 in the dark). Not seeing "absolutely terrible" in the them. But as @IamGaryGnu pointed out - I am not the undumbest.
In May i might have agreed with you. After the tesla emotional and sanity roller coaster, all bets are off!Ok it's official Tesla is a network of smart a's having fun at our expense. Here's a major TMC thread solely dedicated to bashing Tesla for it's delivery games. Just about all of us wanted the car we ordered months ago. Just then they tease new cosmetic body changes and a whole bunch of us are secretly hoping one's specific delivery gets just slightly delayed and indeed some declaring outright they will do anything to reject delivery until the new lights. I'm definitely secretly hoping for the new design but staunchly accepting whatever car if offered. It's just a car and I'll keep it for 3 years only.
This. Any side by side nighttime comparisons (on a garage door or something showing light pattern/brightness) to see for myself? I sometimes get myself worked up by stuff like this on forums and find that in actuality I can barely tell a difference in real life. Drove a friend's 2019 Model S at night before and headlights seemed just fine to me (and I drive a M3P). Rear diffused lights would be nice, I won't lie, but despite the whizz-bang I can't honestly say I EVER see those in use since I'm always driving the car or its turned off.I keep hearing it's terrible.
I think the bigger point is that in 2 years (after the regs are settled) the Matrix headlights will be able to do some pretty nifty things to substantially improve performance.This.

My 2018 Audi S5 Sportback had some of the sexiest taillights and signals, and I think I saw them in use once in the 2+ years I owned it.
Just a little perspective. If my NF464 build doesn't have them when it's delivered, I'm not rejecting it on that basis if it's free of defects.
One thing I have learned about @Hayseed_MS is that he is not as think as you dumb he is!I have used for almost 22k miles (almost 1/2 in the dark). Not seeing "absolutely terrible" in the them. But as @IamGaryGnu pointed out - I am not the undumbest.
Perhaps, but I've only seen mention of new projectors on the redesigned MS. Just googled matrix headlights and they do seem pretty cool, if they do actually allow you to use your high beams all the time.I think the bigger point is that in 2 years (after the regs are settled) the Matrix headlights will be able to do some pretty nifty things to substantially improve performance.
Bjorn has some videos, though I'm not sure how current the S/X ones are:This. Any side by side nighttime comparisons (on a garage door or something showing light pattern/brightness) to see for myself?

Welp i guess no New lights for me then, I, unlike others who refuse to admit, only cared about the new headlights because of them being able to spell TESLA haha. The engineer in me also wants them because of the benefits they would bring now and in future but it sure as hell won't be stopping me from taking delivery in 2 weekSaw this over in the Reddit cesspool from somebody who appears to have some inside info. Take it for what it's worth;
"Tesla started the retooling of their Fremont lines which includes these upgrades last night and Tesla will be producing them in the next couple of weeks."

It will be nice to know a start date of when they will be fitted with the new head/tail lights to help clarify if your car has them or notOk it's official Tesla is a network of smart a's having fun at our expense.
