Of course it is- the lights are fundamentally different in the way they work internally- that's why people want to swap them.Self answer. No, different form factor on that unit
They canceled my service appointment due to a technician shortage and rescheduled a week out... Tesla Service has gotta be the shittiest I've ever experienced. Honestly not surprised. Also just a heads up to those who may encounter a partially failed headlight. If it partially fails like mine did at first where it would randomly light up certain light modules. The linbus half ass communicates back to the front bcm so that effectively blocks linbus communication to the wipers as they are along the same comm line. Which basically means you lose your left headlight and windshield wipers.Fingers crossed!
Access is not the same. Though there are some indy shops that have figured the hacked method out. Yet to find one.I wonder if we can find a friendly independent that is paying for toolbox3
The pay for Toolbox does not include gateway config permissions.I wonder if we can find a friendly independent that is paying for toolbox3
Tech told me the other day that they are being watched closely.Service tech refused to even hook toolbox3 up to do the change. Idk what tesla is telling them. But the one that came out today said all connections to any car are logged. Which is expected. Though I am not sure if they really review this info.
Not me. I’ve been very lucky with my SC.Every Tesla tech I've interacted with seem like they barely have 2 brain cells to rub together
They have plenty of reflectors in stock, otherwise they wouldn't have kept putting them in brand new cars randomly. The matrix uses the LED chips that are much more likely to be affected by supply shortages. I think it will be a long time before Tesla go all matrix (maybe with the upcoming refresh, but then the refresh may use a completely different design).I wonder if at some point when they go all matrix all the time, and your non matrix car needs a headlight replacement (ex. accident) they will put in matrix and reconfig car sw or still have the old reflector just for replacements only.
Was able to finally get my matrix headlights on my MYLR thanks to this thread, so thank you guys! They are plug and play as long as you have someone with at least level 3 access to change it. They would just need to change it in the gateway as stated before, and push another update.
Same exact thing happened to me, I installed the matrix headlights in 2021 SR+ and had Tesla change the gateway value. They charged me $75 for the diagnostic time. The left headlight had a plastic piece rattling loose which must’ve been from the adjustment motor as mine is too low and won’t adjust up. Still within eBay seller’s return window so waiting for a replacement
Tesla never remotely reverts gateway configs on you. All sorts of changes require gateway updates, like HW2 to HW3. The whole point of the Tesla software update process is to read the gateway config and then apply the correct software to the car. That's how Tesla can ship one VIN with matrix and then the next without, and not need to send those cars different software packages.
A gateway change will be needed here too. If it wasn't, all cars would be programmed for matrix lights and then earlier lights would just work. The car must know what hardware is installed to send the right signals to it.Or, will programming also be needed for the reflector lights to work in a matrix car?

Yes, factory new devices have different serial numbers, but more importantly, different software than is on your car.Thanks again. One more question while we are here--if a like-for-like replacement is made--swapping out matrix for matrix, is a program reload required? I do not mean a gateway change, I mean a software reload.

Teslas require all devices to be on the same version. So when you install a new device that is on a different version, it needs to be updated. The generic way to do this is a software update for the whole car, which synchronizes things. This is exactly what Tesla does if you take it in for service too.
(This is a simplified description, the software update process does have part of the process that also "learns" what things are on the car)
