I think it ‘only’ took something like 4-5 years for NHTSA to finally issue a ruling for low volume motor vehicle manufacturing (such as the ‘new’ DeLorean). This overly long delay on NHTSA’s part is a big reason why DeLorean has now decided to go EV for their ‘new’ DeLoreans.

I’m happy about the news but I’m also not holding my breath that they’ll stick by their late 2023 final ruling.

Model Y Matrix headlights in acton



Don‘t give a rats ass what the headlights look like, I want these.
We can probably get them to project "GAS LOL" onto coal-rolling vehicles, only to have the Fun Police take them away 😭

Maybe the headlights can be lowered to write on the road ahead of another driver who has just cut you off.

You can write 'Pardon Me' or &^%&^$$#$ ^&% *&^&^^&*&&^

I rented a new model 3 lr last week and it had matrix headlights that projected the Tesla during the light show. I couldn't tell if it had adaptive headlights enabled but it did have an odd middle high beam. Could switch from low to middle to hella high.

Or "How rude!" - quoting Jar Jar Binks, or Stephanie Tanner before that. :ROFLMAO:

Was it a performamce M3 because I was told that is the only M3 variant with the matrix lights (source was Tesla but that and $5 will get me a Starbucks latte).
