You do realise that matrix LEDs and auto wipers are bog standard auto tech that other manufacturers have been providing for years?

Audi first offered matrix LED headlights in 2013, so it's only taken Tesla a decade to catch up.

Yes. Not only that, my car had the matrix led hardware for 2 years before the matrix feature was enabled in a software update. TBF, I was never sold matrix leds so there was no marketing let down.

Also the auto-wipers on my 2003 Saab were working better than the Tesla ones of the current generation.

That said, it's also funny to think that the only things I could complain about owning a Tesla are: wipers, self-driving marketing and Elon being a nutcase.

Before the last one is solved, I would not buy another one, but other than that it's a very good car.

I read That was a NHSTA thing. Tesla weren’t allowed to enable them in North America despite having them in Europe.

The US regulations often lag Europe by a long way.

This car is in EU.

Tesla should have R&D in Europe as well. Then they probably would have gotten matrix lights right earlier.
