The Model S has the brightest headlights and best coverage of any car that I've owned. If you feel your headlight power is low, I would check the leveling of your headlights. Mine are so bright that I get flashed from the opposite lane because people think my high beams are on. I've had to aim them a bit lower in order to not blind those in front of me.
Amped...could you share the procedure for aiming the lights? I live a couple of hours drive from the service center and don't want to trouble them with such a minor issue. And, would actually enjoy a small (I assume) project like this.

Cars with the tech package have the super powered headlights.
I was not aware that the Tech Package option included higher powered headlights.
Am I remembering correctly that it wass Xenon with the tech and halogen without?
Is it strictly the Xenon headlights, or are the LED cornering lights (also part of the tech package) making a difference too? I was driving another vehicle tonight and noticed how its lights only illuminate the road straight ahead, whereas my Model S throws light in a full arc that extends to both sides of the road.

Correct - that's how it was until the change in August 2013 to Xenon on both. I had a loaner once with the halogen bulbs and it was terrible.
PGIRALT: I have a stupid question. Where do you guys find this information? I would love to know so I can also do my research. So far, the TMC is my wealth of knowledge. lol
I think our car's headlights, the DRL is one of the most beautiful parts of the car. You know that it's a Tesla once you see it in from the rear view mirror. :wink:
I wouldn't say the brightest because they are just about exactly as bright as any others. Thats the way things are intended, no one is entitled to brighter headlights than anyone else. This way everyone's eyes acclimate.
Do agree the focus and control of the emitted light is the best of any headlight I have ever driven behind. And on high beams the broadest and farthest illumination of any. The cutoff line is exceptional, and perhaps this is what bothers Capacek when the light stops where its supposed to stop and no stragglers going beyond.
