[UPDATE: Turned out to be false 😔]: Matrix Adaptive Headlights coming to Cybertruck says Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering

[UPDATE: Unfortunately it turned out to be not correct: the Cybertruck does not have the hardware for matrix headlights. See Post #58 in this thread.

Or you could take screenshots so others don't have to log in and fiddle through the conversation.

uhhhhhhhh.... awkward.

Why awkward?

Awesome! Wife's car has them and they are a game changer for night driving...none of this on / off bs with the high beams - best possible visibility (in non fog conditions)

Why awkward?

Probably because there's two leads from Tesla saying conflicting things.

X/Twitter post of them being on the Rivian with a couple of videos.
Also YT video of it working for a while and you can bounce thru the video for examples.

If Rivian has them already, why should Tesla have an issue with US laws? Or do I miss something?
also: could it be newer CT have the capable lights, but older (FS series) not? And that is why the unclear answers?

If we already have the hardware in the CT, this will be a noteworthy update.

So will require a hardware update not software!

There must have been a law change recently, and Rivian was the first to get it through the new process. Tesla has had them in Model 3's since at least 2021, but couldn't turn them on in the US because of the silly laws here. Same with side camera instead of mirrors...

That is confusing to me. Why wouldn't Tesla be able to issue an OTA last year for their cars with applicable hardware in a similar timeframe that Rivian was able to do it? Maybe Tesla only had the hardware but never did the software until recently.

2023 Model Y matrix example where the owner can program the lights to display Tesla on a wall.

that is a stock lightshow, I am wondering if that is built in and the matrix HL just have to be activated?

The Cybertruck currently does not have matrix headlights.
