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

[AlmostHuman]

maybe "almosthuman" does not know everyones name hat works at tesla?

Heh fair but it is easy to say something like “Great job by the Tesla team!”

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

Thanks, I guess I was thinking of the generally customizable (put on USB) light show with all the car's lights. I recall sending it to my son a couple years back.

The Cybertruck currently does not have matrix headlights.

Yeah, I don’t know… It’s a conflicting situation. Really the question is “does cyber truck have matrix headlight hardware, even if the software is not there?”

Yes, the Tesla Cybertruck has the hardware for matrix headlights, which are adaptive headlights that dim individual pixels. The feature is expected to be enabled for all Tesla models soon

Wish Wes would just spill the beans, cant hide it for ever - we do or we dont have the hardware. If we dont, hope there's a retrofit for FS!

I do know, it does not have matrix.

such a crime for such a high-tech bad ass vehicle.

This video explains Tesla's matrix headlights / automatic adaptive headlights.

Don't jump on me for asking the question but I feel it should be asked anyway.
Good news it looks like you can get a software update on 2024 Cybertrucks to make this work. My question is, and I know the light bar says it is "Strictly for off road Use" but if it is a software update will it also apply the the Light Bar? Of course this is assuming I will ever receive my light bar in the first place.

I doubt that the light bar has this intelligence built in.

but the power outlet might have...only works when you launch off road? Like the other horn sounds only work in park.

 

[65SoYoLO]

so, I asked again...

No, the Cybertruck does not currently have matrix headlights, but it does have adaptive headlights. Adaptive headlights can automatically switch to low beam when there is light ahead.

So it is 50/50

It does not. I drive with my lightbar on all the time. Set it to 1% brightness, it’s essentially a day
time running light. I’ve set across intersections from police with no issues.

 

[cybergriz]

This is neat. I wish it would help me from being blinded by oncoming snow. Need to disable light bar completely in snow mode.

Why would it be 50/50? I think the answer from Lars outweighs the answer from an AI with limited information.

"Matrix headlights" means the hardware: it contains a 2 dimensional matrix of leds that lights up different part of the space in front of them. The software is not there to properly control it, but you can still call it "matrix headlights" that just does not work yet.

either it has it, or it doesn't.
