Refreshed 2021+ Model X and Model X Plaid waiting room
- Thread starter Tiger
- Start date
Just called Tesla to change payment from cash to financing, and got some more details on the car - it was built on 7/19, and is already in transit to Dallas!
Just got a Vin Assigned. Orlando SC 7SAXBE66NF355XXX. Aug 1-Aug7 is EDD now. Seems quick to have the car sent from Fremont to FLA. Read a few posts back said build date of 7/22 on a 354XXX Vin so safe to assume I'm right around that date. Original Order date was March '22 Plaid Blue Cream 20's EAP
I had matrix headlights on my refreshed 2022 MSLR and don’t have them on my refreshed 2022 MXLR. Honestly, driving down the road at night I’m not seeing any difference, so I’m not sure what the big deal is. Can anyone explain?Would you honestly want to delay your delivery just to get these headlights? I feel like everybody on this forum has built up the Matrix Headlights to be something incredible because we have nothing better to do

When (if) Tesla decides to activate Matrix lights it'll allow us to block off the driver's side better, thus reducing glare to oncoming traffic. It also focuses the beam better.
The real benefit of matrix headlights is not having to sacrifice the visibility/illumination of high beams when a car is approaching you from the opposite direction and/or you're behind another vehicle (attached image demonstrates both scenarios). A good parallel is OLED TVs - they can produce such deep blacks because OLEDs have the ability to turn individual pixels on and off, and this is similar to how matrix headlights work.
However, I think the hype around matrix headlights has grown to the point where people think they're life changing technology, when in reality they're very cool and a definite step forward. But I wouldn't delay a delivery in hopes of getting them (just my $0.02, of course).
Edit: To add, you may not notice a difference because until earlier this year, they weren't legal in the US and presumably Tesla will have to ship the software update necessary to use the matrix headlight hardware so unless they've done that, they're (I assume) still just functioning like traditional LED headlights.

Just noticed if I switch to having a trade-in the accelerated delivery option appears. As soon as I say no trade-in it goes away.
I've had the option for a couple of weeks now. I do have a trade-in and I sent Tesla all my info. Seems like each week, there's a different MXP available. I want to say these are rejected VINs (Purely speculation) .
