I’ve repositioned my side mirror to shine back at them. Usually gets them to back up a little bit.
I always wanted a programmable sign that could display messages to asshats behind me
I’ve wanted a polite version with thank you and stuff on it but apparently they don’t want any lighting that isn’t described in the drivers manual, essentially.
So new idea: circular laminated paper driven by a motor. Or that individual one flap per letter design.
One of the many problems with these massive pickup trucks is that the headlights are so high up that the normal mode is effectively high-beams for anyone who isn’t also in a massive pickup truck
At least for SUVs some manufacturers finally realized that you don’t need to put the beams at the top of the front, you can have the DRLs there and have the beams at the bottom.

Maybe it’s also bcs it’s a global model & some markets do have prescribed a max & a min height of a headlight from the ground (I heard even UK had or has that).
It’s also why trucks in EU have regular headlamps closer to the ground compared to those in USA.
That’s the only redeeming quality of the Cybertruck. Its headlights are low in the bumper area.
Also it makes it easy to identify wannabe fascists.
This is a really good idea, and I’m glad some manufacturers are doing it. It’d be great if Ford could follow suit because the LED high beams in my car blind me every time a retro-reflector is nearby.
