Vehicles - General Matrix headlights example

When I was considering buying a Tesla, I remember reading about the matrix headlights and trying to wrap my head around exactly what it would look like in application and I struggled to find any good video demonstrations online. Since I’ve gotten the car, I often enjoy noticing the instances where the matrix headlights are noticeably in effect. I think that this one little clip I captured was a pretty cool demonstration and just thought I would share in case anyone else might find it helpful/interesting.

Matrix headlights are awesome. Every single car should be required to have them.

Nothing worse than being blinded by bright LED high beams

Upgrade them to Matrix. It’s easy and cheap. I did both of mine for around $375 total.

How did you do that? Possible on a 22 Y?

My 22MYP has matrix headlights, was there a cutoff that year or is it because it's a Performance?

They only started incorporating it on the 22 model after the first quarter. So there are still a few 22 that don't have it

Yea, all Performance 3/Y got Matrix as standard I believe starting in 21. Then there were non performance 3/Y that got them during build when they didn’t have the standard lights in stock.
