Bullshit, Tesla headlamps blind everyone else on the road straight from the factory.
"tesla" and "build quality" do not match, even before the cyberstuck
Yeah, he already covered "poorly aimed or not aimed at all."
And most cars involve a good amount of work to aim them manually which is time-consuming and possibly intimidating.
Unless they were aimed poorly from the factory (with how bad their cars are built I'd lean towards that being very probable) they should not be blinding. I know someone with a very early model 3 that had poorly aimed headlights, but he eventually got it fixed. But the 5 other people I know with Teslas are not at all blinding. My Outbacks slightly fucked up headlight is more blinding than their cars.
That's because there is no governance for aiming headlights properly. It's usually done by dealers who don't care.
Most headlight issues are because people have retrofitted improper lights into their factory casings. different light sources project light in different patterns so if you put an LED or an HID bulb in a halogen housing it will blind the fuck out of everyone.
But at the same time if headlights aren't aimed properly they'll just blind anyone anyway regardless of the light pattern.
On top of that really tall vehicles, even when aimed properly, still aim their headlights directly into your eyes just because of how high above the ground they are.
Very little of the blinding headlights issues are due to the source of the light.
