    I found it weird there are about 20,000 vehicles of concern for models that sold millions. I wonder what happened, how are those relative few different?

    That being said, they are really bright but now that we finally have the adaptive beams enabled, it seems to make a huge difference

      Manufacturers supercede parts in the middle of a model’s lifecycle all the time, sometimes doesn’t even coincide with a facelift

      Could be that they replaced the parts with a newer design already

        And I imagine that’s it. At some point Tesla installed the hardware for adaptive headlights. So maybe a transition around that? Where the lights were brighter but adaptive could not be supported

        That’s a lot of work/cost to just find out whether something needs to be done.

        Almost makes you want each part to report an id ……. Until you think about vendor locks and surveillance
