IF your car is under warranty maybe open a service request? It sounds extremely annoying.

They were selling some cars last month I think as second hand ones, but they had a very limited mileage. I think they were just above 40k.

A service request will not achieve anything. They're just sh!t, plain and simple. You can find many posts online with people complaining about Teslas blinding them.

I think you're alone in this.

Absolutely flawless on my MY, I have it permanently enabled. It's older than yours though, so that may be a factor 🤷‍♂️

Does it dip before it can see the car ahead? No of course it can't. I guarantee you're also being a nuisance to other drivers.

fair enough you are finding they arent working for you but why is pressing a button to dip them not a proper solution, is it not the same as any other car where you pull at a stalk to dip your lights?

Going from 3 AWD to Y AWD. I always liked the premium sound in our 3 at low speeds but the road noise really affected the sound quality especially on rough surfaced motorway like M1.

No its not the same. That's the crux of the problem really. Anything that differs from how the majority of other cars work and which goes against common driving etiquette is inevitably going to be deemed a nuisance.

I could certainly live with it and I will do. The thing i'm most pissed off about is how autopilot automatically turns on full beams. It obviously needs it to see properly. But that alone really fcuks up being able to control the lights manually. And not being able to turn on autopilot at will really really sucks.

What adaptive light system on any car would alter the beam pattern before it saw a vehicle ahead?

It reacts instantly on mine, and I have never been flashed.

You sure you have your lights turned down correctly a few degrees from the factory setting? That does plague all MY builds from the factory (God knows why).

I guarantee if I put my lights back up to the factory setting I would get flashed all the time when using adaptive auto lights.

I have mine at factory. MYJ. No issues being flashed, unless i'm being warned about a speed trap ahead 🤣

I'm not singling out Tesla. Well I supoose I am, only because thats the car I have.

I think we agree so. Whats the distance a Tesla (or any other car) can see? Its not far enough to leave full beams on.

I think a lot of the flashes could be "headlight police". They see bright lights and they feel its their duty to police the roads and angrily get you to dim your lights. I think for many, the lights not actually glaring in their eyes.

But I'm getting flashed and the car immediately dims. Its like it doesn't know if its a car or not and until you're flashed.

Like I said, its dependant on hills, bends and distance. Give me a road that doesn't have those.

I'm sorry I just don't believe anyone who says it works immaculate. You're either blissfully unaware or just don't care.

If nobody is flashing me then I have to assume it isn't really a problem.

What other yardstick would a driver have?

You said it yourself above - you get flashed and then the car dips, it's entirely possible that dipped or undipped your lights are not set correctly.

Be honest, what dark roads do you drive on a regular basis? There's nothing wrong with my light configuration. Its full beams I'm talking about, which literally light up the fcuking sky on a pitch black road.
