Dark spot in headlight beam.

[Marionettez3]

Just took delivery and I have this really distracting dark spot in my driver side beam. Is this something I should have Tesla fix or can I just adjust headlights in settings

Sorry, not seeing it. Can you put an arrow on the spot? Or do you mean that little dip where the two beams overlap? If it's that, then that's common in all vehicles that I've owned in the last 20yrs.

I think I see it, but not sure. Why don't you aim the headlights towards a large white wall so that it will show better?

Here's what mine look like. Seems like some of the pixels are dead but maybe that's just the design?

My 2021 has single small dark spots in both sides of the projection beams in the exact same spot. I think it is part of the projector design, rather than a defect since both headlamps have the same spot in the same place.

That’s just the design; pull up to a wall with your headlights on and you’ll see the spot that has that patch missing on both lights. Not sure why it’s there.

I just picked up my model Y performance and at night there’s a noticeable dark spot/ shadow toward the left side of the car. I know there are cool/ dark spots on these projectors but this is really distracting at night.

Same on my '21 m3p

Yeah looks like the two dark spots converge somewhere toward the driver side down the road. Hence the dark spot I'm seeing. The dark spots come from the projector beams only. Hopefully when we're able to fully use them as active matrix lights they can fix that.

I picked up our ‘22 MYP this week and noticed the same dark spots in the beam pattern. Seeking answers, I found this thread and am glad I’m not alone, but hope that it can be fixed in a future software update.

My 2021 LR delivered a year ago has the same dark spots. They're not that noticeable and they do seem to be part of the design but I noticed them right away.

My 2023 model 3 has it also. The mobile service just came and said it's within specs. It's very distracting.

Why are there so many mattresses in the street? That seems more distracting than the dark spots.

I'm finally getting used to them. By telling myself they don't bother me. I miss the old reflector lights from the original model 3. The new Model S light has the same dark spots albeit they are slightly less than my Y.

Why only on driver side? Big dark spot on the left side road when I drive at night
