The dark square in the middle of oncoming traffic is there for a reasonCan someone tell me how to get rid of this dark square on the matrix headlights? It drives me crazy. One small Rectangle that light doesn’t hit

Same shape for short beams on my Taycan (with matrix headlights). I think it's mandated by NHTSA. High beams get rid of that, and with the Taycan it actually slowly extends the low beam to high beams, but quickly drops to low beams if it detects cars ahead. In Europe it would just black out the cars.Can someone tell me how to get rid of this dark square on the matrix headlights? It drives me crazy. One small Rectangle that light doesn’t hit
I enabled "fully functional" on my 2015 BMW M4 -- "anti-dazzle" as it was called -- since 2015 and it's been working super well since. It's a bit of a shame that, 8 years later, I'm back to standard on/off on my newer ultra-high-tech Tesla.Regardless of how "fully functional" the matrix headlights are, the headlights on my 2023 M3 are the best headlights on any car I've driven. They light up the road fantastically well, and high beams are amazing, especially for lighting up the sides of the roadway. Saw a dear the other day on the side of the road lit up like daylight. My wife was driving behind me and said that after I passed the dear, she couldn't see it with her headlights, but saw it vividly in mine.
I'm also quite happy with how the auto high beams work.

It’s legal now ;-)Be careful, the government is watching.
They've been standard fit on all 3/Y coming to Europe since Q1 2021.Matrix headlights have already been in production, and have been included on Tesla vehicles for over a year now.
It's the software aspect that's not enabled.
Not if they were designed before the NHTSA figured out the rules for adaptive headlights in the USA (which turned out different than EU rules, hence the existing hardware on European cars cannot be turned on). If was that easy, Tesla would have enabled them in the US and simplified software for themselves (no need to maintain a separate version for NA).They are identical units and share the same part numbers. They are called “global” headlights for a reason.
You can look at Teslas parts catalog. There are three headlight versions. Premium ECE, premium SAE and global headlights. Global are the matrix units and use the same part worldwide.Not if they were designed before the NHTSA figured out the rules for adaptive headlights in the USA (which turned out different than EU rules, hence the existing hardware on European cars cannot be turned on).

I understand. Porsche uses the same "global" matrix headlight parts too in EU as they put in my US car, but it doesn't mean they will ever be able to enable its full functionality in the US. As a matter of fact, Porsche already said that they are designing a new headlight to meet US regulations, that the old one never will.You can look at Teslas parts catalog.

Those updates are for Europe, not the US.
Where did you read that?My understanding is that the new US specification will requires updated LED Matrix which are part of Highland. The one on the legacy Model 3/Y does not support the new specification.
There are a few articles on the internet that exposed the issue. In short:Where did you read that?
Regardless, the update to enable adaptive headlights is not for the US in the Highland. Most assume because the lights do not meet the requirements.
