Model Y Performance headlights in a LR

There is another thread on here with a larger discussion on whether this is possible. In theory, it is possible but Tesla does not allow it. Reason is looked down upon over there so I gave up trying to be reasonable. To get them to work on a car not originally built with them, you need to get a level 3 or higher tech and ask them to do something they are not supposed/allowed to do. And then it can be reset at each software update so you will need to conitnually do this and will be without headlights every time you update your car software. Any reasonable person would take this as a "not possible/not feasible" result to their inquest.

While the shop can order and install, they wouldn't be able to activate them and therefore wouldn't be able to warranty the work (which should be the first red flag for you and any insurance company paying for the work). Then you'd need to go to Tesla and ask them to do something they can't officially do and don't support (second red flag).

The true position is that it's a simple configuration gateway change, which does indeed require "level 3" tech access to perform.
It's extremely unlikely that Tesla will force a configuration gateway download from the mother ship

There is no better time to sell your LR and get a Performance.

You will almost break even.

Still trying to figure out what the big deal is about the matrix lights since they aren’t even activated in the US markets yet. Not like the LR gets halogen headlights and the P is getting LED. Plenty happy with my LR headlights.
