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’ll then make its method to different automobiles as time goes on, however we can not verify which automobiles within the lineup are taking precedence. We estimate that it’ll make its method 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.
