Genuine question: what other cars had moveable LED headlights 10 years ago?
I think you might have mis-read my statement:
Tesla isn't on the cutting edge of lighting. The S only has standard fixed HIDs. It's a decade behind other luxury cars in that respect.
I didn't mention LEDs, just HIDs. And as far as being 10 years behind, my 2006 M5 had auto leveling, swiveling headlights. I think my 2004 A8 did too but I'm sure my 2007 A8 did. These are 10 year old non-flagship cars and it wasn't like the swiveling headlights were a big money option.
As far as LED headlights go, I think Audi was the first in 2011 with the A8 followed by the A6 and then *gasp* Lincoln with the MKZ.
I'm willing to forgive Tesla for the omission of things like this on the S since they had so many other obstacles to overcome. I think people are going to be much less forgiving on future cars though.
