haha, thanks. surprised tesla doesn't call them 'full self driving headlights' then.
'auto high beam', a feature on almost every car now, would be a more straightforward name. shocked tesla hasn't had that until now.
Tesla has had auto high beams since I bought the car last year. Same with the Polestar. Adaptive is different, they light up areas without blinding other drivers on the road
Ah now I understand, we aren’t talking adaptive which a lot of cars already have in the U.S. Sounds like we are talking matrix lights which just became legal last year I believe. I know the new S has the capability but I think the older headlights on mine don’t have the ability.
This is also the difference with Tesla vs other manufacturers, my BMW has the capability but it is coded off in the U.S. and it would be so easy for BMW to code in with a software update now that they are legal but they just won’t do it and never have which is so disappointing. Tesla is the exact opposite.

I don't think my model Y has Matrix headlights, but definitely adaptive. Now they have enabled the ability to "move" when you go around curves. My 2010 IS350 had that ability (hid's), but they physically moved where the Tesla's don't. My Polestar has Matrix lights, but they haven't activated them yet
it's just auto on and off high beams when it detects objects (car lights etc - headlights or tail lights) in front.

i don't think you guys are saying the same thing. clean up on aisle 4.
"it's just auto on and off high beams when it detects objects (car lights etc)"
That's what auto high beams do. Apology accepted
you're right, sorry you guys did both say about auto high beams, i quoted the wrong parts, but that is NOT the same as adaptive headlights whether lights that turn, or matrix lighting.
and as far as i can tell from what i read, u.s. cars can have matrix lights installed but can't use their full potential unless they're hacked ('coded').
Today I noticed discoloration around the window trim of my Y on both sides
Doing a search found that this is caused by contactless car washes. And wouldn't you know it, I recently took it to one. Not sure how it causes this, maybe a chemical they use.
Good news though. It can be restored by using Turtle wax according to several posts in the Tesla forum. Not sure how that works, but there were several before and after pics
