The brighter headlights have been touted to the marketplace as all about safety. This is true to a certain extent but the unforseen reality of brighter lighting is the majority of people drive to the limit of their lights at night. Having driven in rally events at night with multiple 100 watt lights I know this is true. When driving at speed and you switch the extra lights off and rely only on factory low beams the change in one's visual area is quite disconcerting and feels dangerous.

This well intended "SAFETY" feature has in fact lead to far more dangerous roads as folks are driving faster and the vehicles around them have their visibility inhibited.

Unfortunately until law enforcement returns to our highways this problem will not go away.

Quite frankly I firmly believe every Tesla needs to be recalled and have their headlights replaced. They are way too bright. It's part of their marketing and identity as the arrogant upscale luxury crowd.
