As far as I know it's only to adapt to other vehicles on the road to prevent blinding them as pixels will dynamically adjust to accomplish this.
Aside from displaying the word Tesla during the light show

Tesla Model Y matrix LED headlights, structural battery, and front mega casting unveiled at Giga Berlin Giga-Fest - Tesla Oracle
Tesla unveiled the new Model Y adaptive LED headlights, front and rear single-piece mega castings, and structural battery pack at the Giga Berlin Giga-Fest (pics, videos).

If this really is true, I now prefer the Atom!
Nothing reported in the US and it could be due to the different methods of testing efficiency around the world. But, in general yes, if something is more power hungry (the AMD is) it takes more battery. Surprising that it would be 2-3% of range impact though. Definitely surprising for Tesla to do that.
Maybe they will unlock the additional battery cells in the 82kWh batteries. From my understanding they are locked at 79kWh.

I would rather keep the extra range and lower power use by the Atom vs the Ryzen if it does impact range. However if there are features that come out that are AMD specific then of course I'd likely change my mind.
Agreed, I’m shocked that the change from Intel to AMD = a full 22km loss of range.
This does not make sense, 22/624 = 0.037.
That's a whopping 3.7% difference, and based on the
@MotorMatchup efficiency data, https://www.motormatchup.com/efficiency. If cruise at 65mph, total power is 12.51KW and 0.037 of that is 441 watts additional electricity consumed compared to Atom processor.
A desktop version of 8 core Ryzen should have a TDP around 65w if not OC, that's at full load. I think it's quite easy for Tesla to undervolt the CPU and still have more than enough performance compared to Atom. Well, the discrete GPU might consume more energy too, but still the combined power consumption should not exceed a fully blown gaming laptop, which is around 150W.
Maybe AMD was supposed to pair up with structrural battery, which can easily offset the loss of mileage since it's flexibile in capacity and tuning but things get delayed. So, who gets AMD with structrural battery pack (the orginal full 2022 spec) first?

2022 MYP
More power consumption for the new CPU/GPU is expected but increase over 400W makes little sense...

WOW, even updated headlights?? Please keep us posted if this is deemed to be true! I'm expecting a VIN to be assigned any day now!
Edit - Ignore the bit below. Missed the MYP part in the post that was the most important bit
Would love pics of updated headlights if true. Haven't really seen that yet. Someone posted about it here or in the other partner thread but the pic they shared made it look like the non matrix headlights...

All MYPs come with Matrix Headlights. Nothing to see here folks.
All performance Ys have been getting the updated headlights for awhile now. Nothing new.
My buddy picked up his Y yesterday and confirmed has Ryzen.
Long Range.
Long Range.
Looks like LRMY are getting an increase in range rating and M3 decrease AMD Ryzen Affects The Range Of New Tesla Cars.
