It’s a characteristic that has been obtainable in different markets, Europe most notably, however Tesla has labored with regulatory companies to get it rolled out within the U.S., and the corporate has already confirmed it is going to roll out to different automobiles.

This affirmation solidified that the Cybertruck does have the required {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 characteristic with the brand new Mannequin Y first. It’s going to then make its technique to different automobiles as time goes on, however we can not verify which vehicles within the lineup are taking precedence. We estimate that it’s going to make its technique 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 characteristic initially.
