It’s a characteristic 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.
Though it was not explicitly named by Tesla execs who stated the Adaptive Headlights would make their strategy to automobiles throughout the lineup, many thought the Cybertruck would obtain the characteristic, particularly primarily based on its reputation and prowess.
However there was no direct affirmation, till now.

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 characteristic with the brand new Mannequin Y first. It’s going to then make its strategy to different automobiles as time goes on, however we can not verify which vehicles within the lineup are taking precedence. We estimate that it’ll make its strategy 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 primarily based on the truth that the mass market automobiles would get the characteristic initially.
