A new software update for the Tesla Model 3 2024 allows activation of a new feature: adaptive headlights.
The magic with electric cars is that they can evolve throughout their life. Similar to your smartphone, they receive regular updates that improve their functions, performance, or fix minor issues.
The first software update for the Tesla Model 3 in January 2024 introduces a feature that is far from trivial. The beam of the headlights becomes adaptive based on the cars you encounter on the road so as not to dazzle them. However, without human action, the brightness level reverts to maximum once you’re alone on the road.
Tesla explains that this performance is made possible by the detection of other road users, followed by individual modulation of each luminous pixel that makes up the so-called “Matrix” headlights.
This function is therefore only available in its current form for the new Tesla Model 3, and not for the first generation. Similarly, only European cars currently benefit from it, due to regional homologation requirements.
As a reminder, the Tesla Model 3 lost its ecological bonus in France in 2024, and its starting price is now 42,990 euros.
