NHTSA Complaint #11470166 — 2022 TESLA MODEL Y

Auto dimming and bright headlights do not dim for oncoming traffic consistently. Unsafe for other travelers at night. I’ve owned two Tesla’s model 3 and model y over the last 4 years. Both had issues with the Auto Bright/Auto dimming headlights. The automatic feature takes too long to turn on the high beams and takes too long to dim for oncoming traffic. The auto dimming function also reacts to reflective signs and turns off high beams when unnecessary. The auto dimming feature works best when you’re approaching a curve where the travel path is to the right where oncoming traffic crosses the field of cameras. Auto dimming rarely works when turning to the left or straight for on coming traffic since cars are to the left of field for the cameras or head on traffic but Auto dimming feature fails. The bright and dim will go on and off as cars approach further causing issues with people flashing lights at you in their direction of travel. The auto high headlights also react to reflective signs and will go high low high low further causing safety issues when they should remain on.
