Seriously I think I will go crazy, EVERY single Model Y that I either meet or end up behind me, has it’s right headlight pointed straight UP!? I am literally half blinded by every single one, told a close friend who drives a lot who said the exact same thing…… I think a few times Model 3s as well but definitely every single Y. Don’t think it has always been like that? Not sure.

I live in Sweden if that makes any difference, is that German gigafactory up and running? Maybe fault with those made there? Grasping at straws here lol because I have no idea how such a thing would be accepted by regulators…. Anyone else that has experienced this? Some other Swede that would like to chime in hahaha?

    Also wtf is up with Tesla’s brake lights not coming on? Like every other car will have it’s brake lights slowing quickly from 30-5 in traffic, but Tesla won’t.

    Coincidentally I had a frustrating part of my drive to work today because there was a Model Y behind me that seemed to have had its auto-high beams enable as it got darker. Thought the lights were unusually bright because I had the rear-view mirror switched to the night position and there was still some notable glare in the mirror. Absolutely blinding in my side mirrors when I made turns, to the point where it was interfering with my driving.

    I’m 20, so it’s not like my vision is bad. One of my best friends’ parents have two Teslas (3 and Y) so I have a lot of experience driving with him to places (separate cars, going to car meets etc.) Remember one time I was parked across the street from his driveway (slopes down towards the house) to wait for him and I told him to turn his high-beams off, so he flashed his high beams. That left some slight spots in my eyes for a few seconds.

    Tesla auto-highbeams in general seem to suck ass. I’ve seen these things flash and flicker at seemingly complete random followed by high beaming a car in front of them for miles. It’s seizure and rage inducing.

    yeah they’re all aimed like shit and don’t work right because tesla’s QC is abysmal and always has been, tesla lights are the worst aimed shit on the road, I can’t stand it when they’re behind me at night, I’ll slow down on the highway forcing em to pass me just so i can fucking SEE again, whether I’m in the lexus or the miata

    I swear to god I put my thumb over them every time I drive by one at night. It burns the headlight shapes in my retinas for a minute or two if I don’t.

    The lights on my Model 3 were aimed high from factory. I adjusted each one down 3 clicks (easy to do from inside the car) and I get flashed a lot less.

    Auto high beams have also improved quite a lot in the 2023.20.x releases and beyond.
