I hope this question has not already been asked.
With all the discussion about the headlights on the Cybertruck not working that great on dark roads. I’m wondering if headlight brightness or other improvements can be made by software updates.

This is another opinionated topic that you as, a user, will have to figure out. Typically, in Tesla's you can configure your headlights to aim higher or lower, but only time will tell. Beyond that, they were approved by NHTSA so they work under some guidelines at least

I keep seeing posts about the headlights not working great. (More specifically from Kyle at out of spec). I don’t live in the city and bright lights at night are very important to me. I also get a lot of fog where I live. Just wondering if improvements to headlights is software or not.

Kyle, Kyle out of spec. He is so awesome. Why does everyone now think his way of testing was for clicks and not really anything other than that? Sure many of his other reviews may have been great, but i digress.

I have seen completely the opposite from others praising the lights.

So trust your truck order to some frumpy guy with sweatpants and messy hair standing in a parking structure as that is the place to take photos and vlogs now.

While his testing may be much fairer than others, 100%-0% are not viable tests for EVs. Oce a vehicle gets over about 250 miles EPA Blended, the range isn't a big deal. How many cars are bought because of range? There are enough Superchargers now, that range isn't a big deal anymore.

As to "testing for clicks" that's pretty much a "duh". Of course he's cruising for clicks, that's how they make their money.

Good to hear there are folks praising the lights!
