My pet theory is dumbass was trying to hype up the stock. He drew something down a la homer simpson.
They had 1 guy actually working on it and added a page where you could give Elon an interest free loan to reserve a truck. After a while, he would give a refund and say it wasn't cost effective. It was all vaporware until someone said you could make the panels dirt cheap, just glue them down, and the profit margins would be huge.
I can’t recall which (Audi?) but at least one of them has a headlight system that literally blocks the light from hitting passing cars. So it’s constantly scanning for cars, and I guess it has fine control over which parts of the lights are on, and where they point? But it’s to solve this. Basically you can drive with your high beams while nobody else is the wiser
All the euro brands have it but it’s banned in the US because slow dinosaurs. Although the ban is supposed to be finally lifted starting this year or next.
I'm already blinded by the time it detects me. They should ban those systems. You can tell when it kicks in, and it's always too late. Modern lights are great for the driver but shit for everyone in front of em.
Yeah, the "don't make the light shine up" is just regular fucking inspection passing requirements. The HID lights will auto level by law and the led matrix lights usually do as well. Or the more modern implementation is where it'll just turn off half of the matrix
Several companies have this now, but not in the US. For some reason the regulations don't allow it. Auto high beams can only go off and on, no zones. My car has the capability but it's software limited to comply with US laws. I guess it's cheaper to make them all the same and limit them than make different ones for the US market. There was supposed to be a change to the laws that allowed it in '22 but they fucked it up. If they ever fix the regulations it can be turned on with a software update.
As someone who lives in a very snowy area of the world, and has a car with a "shelf" in front of the headlights.
No, it is not. Car designers think about something called aerodynamics that makes sure headlights have air moving in a certain way to clear snow and also other debris from them when driving. The cybertruck has had no such considerations taken when designed.
I can’t imagine any CT driver cares enough to pull over and clean the headlights. If they actually cared about safety they would haven’t gotten the CT.
Cope ans seethe about what exactly? Cars have bumpers. Bumpers accumulate snow. Snow accumulation on front bumpers, which are normally found near headlights, blocks said headlights.
