That happened to me too! It was a software glitch. A quick software update fixed it right up.
Has anyone found a permanent solution for the flickering? It’s been bothering me for a while now.

I would suggest checking the brightness settings. Sometimes they can cause unexpected flickering when adjusted.

I think changing the headlight settings may help. I saw a forum post discussing it—it worked for a few users!
Great idea! I’ll give that a try. The matrix headlights are so cool but can be a bit finicky.
What about operational discrepancies? Sometimes I feel like they don’t light up all areas effectively on curves.
That’s true! I’ve experienced under-illumination on tight turns, especially at night.
Is it just me, or is there a slight delay when they adjust the beam direction? It makes driving a bit tricky.
You’re not alone! It can feel laggy sometimes, like they want to give you a moment to brace for the brightness!

I read that some of these issues are firmware-related. Tesla periodically rolls out updates for better performance. Keep an eye out for those!
That’s a good reminder! I should check if I have the latest version.

Honestly, I just set my headlights to auto and hope for the best! Less stress that way. Anyone else agree?

Haha, I do the same! Sometimes ignorance is bliss, right?
I’m currently using the Tesla Model X with matrix headlights, and I can say they are impressive! The adaptive lighting really makes a difference. However, I’m curious about aftermarket options. Anyone tried those?
I haven’t tried aftermarket options yet, but I’ve heard mixed reviews. Make sure any replacements are compatible with Tesla’s systems. Cost can really add up!
I just upgraded my Model X headlights to a pair from a reputable aftermarket brand. The light output is phenomenal! I recommend checking out brands like LightMotion. You might pay around $1,500, but the upgrade is worth it.
That’s great to hear, Raymond! Did you handle the installation yourself, or did you have a professional do it?
I installed mine myself! It’s surprisingly straightforward. Just make sure you have the right tools and follow a guide. YouTube has some great tutorials for Matrix headlights on the Model X.

Good to know! I was a bit hesitant about DIY, but it sounds manageable. Any specific tools you recommend for the installation?
You’ll need a Torx screwdriver and a trim removal tool. Super helpful for getting into tight spots without damaging anything. Plus, a good flashlight is a must!
