How to adjust headlights (height angle) in Cybertruck menu settings. Watch the headlight beam height moving during adjustment 🔦

This is excellent! How many vehicles can adjust headlights like this? I have never heard of any vehicle doing so. I am sure there are others, but this is such a cool feature that I’m guessing most people (like me) wouldn’t know.

All of our 2018 Tesla Model 3 have headlights adjustable from the cabin. It's a double-edged sword though, just last night I commented on the crappy headlights of an approaching car (too much glare in the eyes). As it went by my wife said, "It's a Model Y!"

Adjust them responsibly people! Even if you can see fine, it's not safe for you or anyone else if the oncoming drivers are having trouble seeing due to glare in their eyes.

Agreed, but the headlights need to be able to adjust based on the ride height the vehicle is requesting IMO. If the vehicle dynamically adjusts ride height as you drive, it needs to do the same for headlights not rely on a manual calibration input by the user.

I have no idea how the Cybertruck headlights are actually setup. But it makes sense that if the truck is self-levelling for different load distributions, this would naturally prevent load distributions from messing with your headlight alignment.

There could aslo be a fine-tuning that happens in conjunction with changing ride heights. That said, I think changing the suspension height four inches would have only the most minimal impact on the need to adjust headlight aim, as long as the truck height changed the same amount front to back.

Thank you so much for this.

Definitely a double edged sword. Now that I think about it, I usually notice Teslas more because they're either blinding me on stop lights or on singles lane roads...

Trust me, the problem is not limited to Teslas, anyone with a screwdriver can create an unsafe situation by thinking the low beam cutoff needs to go higher. In my area, pickup trucks are the biggest offender because many pickup drivers work on their own vehicles have no qualms about making it hard on others.

Hi everyone,

I know there's been a lot of complaints (throttle house review, some owners, etc) about the headlights on the cybertruck so thought I'd make a quick video showing where you can adjust them.



PS: there's another cybertruck video on my channel that a lot of you might enjoy

Thanks for this. This is a delivery checklist item wherever cars are sold. The service center should be checking and adjusting the headlights for delivery. How is this getting checked off if it's not done? We're better than that.

My 2011 Nissan Leaf has this feature (but not the auto-calibration).

Wow! You mean my M3 has this? I had no idea.

On our Model 3s, it's in the regular service menu. Use it responsibly.
