Yeah, I’ve heard about these issues. I’m constantly putting on the high beams bc I can’t see anything with these *sugar* headlights. This is what I get when I buy Tesla’s flagship car…the worst headlights out of their entire fleet.
Receiving faulty lights during delivery doesn’t surprise me at all. I just can’t wait to swap them out!
I don’t think this is the case. I think they had to change the charge port due to regulations which meant change the tail lights to fit the bigger port and they threw in the headlights. Nothing is final though and I don’t think there have been any deliveries of the new lights any where in the world yet.Is it just me or does anyone else’s feel like NA markets are last to get any new tech or hardware software updates because we are all just stupid enough to keep buying them with the older tech and accept that we are played second fiddle to Europe-Asia? When did this become acceptable and commonplace?
And being a US domestic company which built up by early NA adopters investing and helping support Tesla, I find it almost insulting…no..truly insulting that NA is constant treated by Tesla as last pick. Why haven’t is considered done anything about it? We just keep talking about it and validating.
Maybe the fact that Asia and Europe combined have 1/4 to 1/3 of the planets consumer population?
I think you will find NA gets it all first. We can’t even get a model S or model x for another year nearly over 18 months nearly since the US got them initially. Software updates US gets first.. by then through a good chunk of the product lifecycle.Is it just me or does anyone else’s feel like NA markets are last to get any new tech or hardware software updates because we are all just stupid enough to keep buying them with the older tech and accept that we are played second fiddle to Europe-Asia?

Ya I guess I sounded somewhat a douch. Apologies there to global buyers!
Probably because none of those parts are designed and manufactured in US. I've seen cars from Tesla Shanghai factory has much better build quality as well.
Here’s a small example:
Not at all. I know full well the complexities.
i have looked at the headlights zoomed in and i cant tell them apart from the pictures
most people cant even if my plaid doesn't have the new lights i will still take delivery.
May I ask a question? How is it possible, in the age of iPhone 13 Pro and Galaxy S69, that we can’t get ONE clear picture of the new Model S rear? Not even one? There has been two sightings on the road, and one in a damn showroom, but we can’t get a clear pic? I just want to see if the bar is gone or it is body color.
Mid December the US price for headlights was $1400 each
I think the idea of Legos is that the plastic pieces snap together, not the fingers.
A relationship that is passive aggressive, filled with privilege and denial?
You'll find lots of takers.New member here, ordered a new Blue S Plaid earlier today, REALLY hoping I get the new headlights but also would prefer the OLD tails with the cross bar…. Maybe I’ll get the new setup and can find someone to swap tails with me….
I’ll swap with you any day. You’re going to start a bidding warNew member here, ordered a new Blue S Plaid earlier today, REALLY hoping I get the new headlights but also would prefer the OLD tails with the cross bar…. Maybe I’ll get the new setup and can find someone to swap tails with me….
