New Model S Headlight/Taillights in North America?
- Thread starter DaveKey
- Start date
They will be put in cars for non North American delivery first, cars needing the CSS plug. The changes will eventually come to domestic cars, but my feeling is it will be fall or later for USA. Maybe next model year 2023 intro in the fall.

The lights has nothing to do with CCS plug and it's really a drop-in replacement with minimal body change. I bet it would happen fairly soon in US.

Why did they say the updates are for foreign markets first? Why wouldn't they say they will be putting the new headlights into US production shortly? Doesn't sound likely, but then again, this is Tesla. The taillights definitely will take some changes. Probably best to implement both at the same time.

Because it’s Q1 and they are only building/shipping S/X for foreign markets

From the Jan 11 Electrek article I posted above: "We suspected that this could be a new version of the Model S meant for international markets with some of the design updates likely to make it to the North American version, which is currently the only one being delivered." They are supposed to start building for International markets soon, thus these updates for that market.

Given that UK and Australian deliveries are expected end of NEXT year, I doubt this.
If Im wrong, I'm exceptionally happy.

On the 3/Y, the rereshed matrix headlights are not retro-fittable even though they physically fit.

I believe it was a software lock on Tesla's end... I stand corrected, they did allow retrofits on specific configurations of the 3 but it had to be done by the SC... Simply swapping out the part yourself is what doesn't work across the board.
New headlights retrofit
You are skipping over the why to prove your point. When you look at the why, it proves my point. Everything you list was either required for the car to continue functioning or required because they promised something they didn’t deliver. None of them were done because someone likes one a little...

Here's some news on the legislation needed for adaptive headlights in the US. U.S. clears way for automakers to install smart headlights

Recent announcements seem to refute my speculation that these features would only be for foreign markets first. Apparently coming to US before foreign markets. This is excellent! I wish I could get better headlights. Matrix headlights would be awesome. Hopefully a retrofit package will be possible.

I saw a article yesterday that they already switched over the tooling and should be including new headlights and taillights in upcoming deliveries.
