So… Highland is out…

[pdk42]

Red. I liked it!

So much so that I've ordered a Y in red!

 

[randompixel]

The Y red is different to the 3 Highland red?

I thought that the red paint on my Model Y (& presumably the one you have ordered) was a different red to Highland?

The new Ultra Red or just the red red?

Brightness isn't normally the issue, it is the height of them needing to be low down to avoid reflective glare.

Yep that is about it. Ive always used mine accordingly. We are near a river and have a few dips hence a bit prone.

My rough guess would be them being removed just like lumbar support due to not being used and this is frustrating for me since a few times I would of turned them on, I find it very difficult and they dont seem to be voice activation enabled. normally in the day or night if i need to touch the screen, I turn autopilot on when available as a failsafe but it does not work in dense fog unless someone has any tips

The old red. I’d love the new Cherry Red, but it’s Berlin LHD cars only.

The Highland Model 3 you saw was Ultra Red, which is a new colour first introduced for the new Model S and X. The Model Y is Multicoat Red, which is a bit of a brighter shade. This was the same red used on the old Model 3 (and most old Model S an X).

Ah, so now there’s three reds then?

The M3 Highland built in China (all European vehicles including UK), just one red paint option is available which is Ultra Red. The older red multi-coat is still used on the MY built in China (UK RHD).

For MY built in Germany (mainland Europe LHD), midnight cherry red is only available.

A few reviews mentioned (I'm assuming Tesla told them this) that the front lights are sufficiently powerful that fog lights would be redundant. So maybe they have a "high brightness" mode when you turn on the "fog lights".

It won’t please the fog lights all year round crowd though.

 

[Drew57]

It won’t please the fog lights all year round crowd though.

They are usually the ‘look I’m faster than you’ crowd & increasingly the ‘I’m in a Tesla’ crowd.

What a dilemma they must face, poor souls.

Yup, I ran the Corvette's fog lights as DRL. Can't do that on the 2022 MSLR, as they only come on when the headlights are on.

 

[ACarneiro]

I actually found them very useful in the occasional foggy conditions as well as during snow.
Like much other safety equipment, not used often but you are likely to miss it when it’d be useful and it’s not there…
Again, it just screams “cheap”

I've never really understood the need to have "mood lighting" inside a car

Me too. My fancy-pants home automation will do all that footballer's-wife stuff, never managed to find any combinations of settings that I felt added anything to MY mood, so consequently I never used it in practice. Struggling to understand why the inside of a car needs it - Red Mood when dogging maybe?!

I personally quite like it

'coz its there? or "I would definitely consider adding a 3rd party option" if it wasn't there?

I personally want minimal light around me when driving - probably because that's what I'm used to, but I'm of the opinion (maybe wrongly) that it interferes with my night vision - that's based on the fact that I know what a difference it makes, and I'm very careful with my night vision, when doing astronomy (if I have to come into the house, close my viewing eye for the duration that I am around any light at all, and so on)

If you haven't tried it then close one eye for 5 minutes. Keep it closed, go outside (somewhere with very low / no light pollution), alternate opening/closing each eye

I think front fogs are a bit pointless

I can't remember driving in thick fog for a long time ... maybe we don't have that any more / often enough. But back when we did lights-down-low made a huge difference in reducing the amount of glare reflected back into the cabin / driver.

increasingly the ‘I’m in a Tesla’ crowd.

What a dilemma they must face, poor souls.

I've been "in a Tesla" for a long time ... my other cars are Teslas, my other family member's cars are Tesla's ...

... I can't find the word to describe the dilemma I find myself in (but I'm sure that some wag here will do!)

Well, I think you don't understand. It's not your mood that needs enhancing, your always ready. It's the female that needs romancing. Mood lights are for her.

 

[Drew57]

Mood lights are entirely appropriate - Teslas' already have software that can change your mood in an instant

 

[WannabeOwner]

your always ready. It's the female that needs romancing

Ah. My Facebook Status is unchanged for countless decades, but if that changes I'll bear that in mind
