Im a nightshift worker, the select autopilot knock auto headlights off immediately became muscle memory.
With this update it is 110% better, massive improvement.
Never have to turn auto headlights off anymore, no one flashes.

Yeah my adaptive headlights worked well straight away. It seems at first they would block column by column (at further rows) but after a update I think it just does big blocks.

[tarquin]

Hopefully the finally fixed the lights. I cannot count how many Teslas were blinding me in traffic. It definitely took way too long.

Best thing about Tesla version of adaptive headlights is how much more it can keep active compared to other manufacturers’ versions. Others shuts of immediately for street lights or above/below certain speeds but Tesla, keeps them on.
Especially very good on the motorway for the ability of extended range of high beam

Gone are the days of getting flashed in my Tesla- really great now. (We’re downunder, ie: Australia so RHD).

[kristofferthyrrestrup]

Thanks Bjørn!
Would you have a top 5/10 of best adaptive headlights, based on your experience?

Model 3, the adaptive headlights is brilliant permanent nights also, it makes a huge difference at night without blinding anyone.

They added matrix in curves some updates later. The 20.9 was just Matrix stage 1 if I’m correct. 😊

[tristanbased-af]

BIG W!!
I hate being blinded by MOdel 3 & Y cars in my low Model S car

[CoolSilver]

I just got this with the recent update with FSD 12.5. I yet to test them fully myself.

The main problem with these is they don’t activate early enough at dusk - it has to get really dark before high beam starts being used.

And because there is no way to just manually turn on high beam without changing the settings, I end up driving around holding the stalk towards me to constantly 'flash', until it gets dark enough.

[ericvetb]

Definitely much better. Not managed to try on my model Y yet as too bright until late 😜

[andreasbauer]

I get blinded by tesla headlights way less now. It has gotten so good over the last months that if I get blinded I dont automatically think anymore 'yeah a tesla is comming my way'.

[berdugosocials]

2nd must have I want in a new car, hopefully the technology gets cheaper, cause for other car manufacturers it’s an add on cost

[Yachtzeee]

The matrix function is ok. The auto highbeam are brutal and have gotten worse. I literally have to hold highbeams on when I enter the backroads at the cottage. Because I cannot turn them on full time.

[danburkland]

I wish the we could get the adaptive headlights for oncoming traffic without curves in the US. Instead our laws are preventing it for stupid reasons…

[dalimaam]

Hi Björn, when are you testing the Xpeng G6? You had only a small test. Awaiting your reply. Greetings of a loyal viewer.

[quinnduffy]

We got some of the features enabled in Canada AFAIK - I feel like I noticed them for a bit, but they're not particularly active now. Maybe another update tuned out some of the adaptiveness.

[miroslavmandov]

How do they compare with the lights of BMW iX1 and 2?

[kelvynbettridge]

This update works with cars several years old
