It’s a function that has been accessible in different markets, Europe most notably, however Tesla has labored with regulatory businesses to get it rolled out within the U.S., and the corporate has already confirmed it can roll out to different automobiles.

This affirmation solidified that the Cybertruck does have the mandatory {hardware} to allow Matrix Headlights, which is one thing the corporate will work on rolling out sooner or later.
As of proper now, Teslarati can verify Tesla is rolling out the function with the brand new Mannequin Y first. It can then make its option to different automobiles as time goes on, however we can’t verify which vehicles within the lineup are taking precedence. We estimate that it’ll make its option to the brand new Mannequin Y, legacy Mannequin Y, and each iterations of Mannequin 3 earlier than the Cybertruck, after which Mannequin S and Mannequin X.
We made this prediction based mostly on the truth that the mass market automobiles would get the function initially.
