    Terribly patchy headlights on model Y

    So I extended to throw off the headlights a lot further, and it is less patchy, but still not very good. I hope I don’t get flashed by angry ongoing traffic.

    Terribly patchy headlights on model Y

    Is that on high beams? I read that the dead spots with the matrix headlight are only there on low beams and not on high beams. I also have a model 3, with non matrix headlights and they are better, brighter with more even distribution of light. One of my photos is on a slope, but the square dark...

    Terribly patchy headlights on model Y

    Tesla technician said the headlights are normal and he wouldn’t change a thing.😡😡😡 I don’t know how it is acceptable to have square blocks of dead spots. I will try to adjust the throw further to see if that will improve things.

    Terribly patchy headlights on model Y

    Wouldn’t that be blinding for the oncoming traffic? They are already adjusted to a distance that I feel is far enough. They would have to shine a lot further to converge.

    Terribly patchy headlights on model Y

    I had tried many times, but they won't align and they stay like that. Other than having areas not illuminated, they are also not as bright as my 3.5-years-old model 3. If this is normal they are much worse than my old model 3.

    I meant to ask if anyone else has headlights like this?

    Terribly patchy headlights on model Y

    My recently delivered model Y RWD has headlights with really bad dark patches on both sides. I have booked a mobile service for next week, but I want to check with the community if this is "normal". I am hoping that mine are faulty and will get replaced. I adjusted the headlights a number of...

    So it is only to do with getting parts from Tesla, that makes more sense. Thanks.

    Tesla can only be repaired be Tesla appointed smash repairer?

    My model 3 has some panel damage and I need to have it repaired. I wasn’t planning to claim insurance as it was my wife’s fault. I went to a smash repairer to get a quote and I was told that only Tesla appointed repairer is allowed to touch Tesla. Apparently it has something to do with...

    Describe your initial impressions upon new delivery of 2023 Model Y

    From my test drive of a RWD in February, I agree with Zoltrix. The ride is too firm and noisy for such a car. I still ordered one despite that, mainly because its positive outweighs the negative, and there is not much competition around that price point. On my 3 RWD, I set the tyre pressure...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    How do I search for the hidden VIN? Where do I search?

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I ordered a RWD 3 months ago, and got an email today stating that a vehicle has been assigned to me. Approximately how much longer before the car is delivered?

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I wish the LR would have at least another 150km of range over the RWD. If it did it would be perfect, IMO. I seriously thought about changing my RWD order to a LR, but just don’t feel that 80km extra range is worth it. Maybe in another year or so there will be an updated LR which improves on...

    QLD Zero Emissions Vehicle Strategy

    If the point is about who needs the rabete and less about making ZEV more attractive compared to ICE vehicles then I would say those on $180k also do not need to be given $6k to buy a $68k car. I think offering financial incentives does have the ability to change people’s behaviour...

    Any Aussies with front suspension rattle?

    Yep. I find that dealers usually are not willing to tackle noises and rattles , unless they are really obvious.
