      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.

      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.

        The lighting specs to sell in USA vs EU are different. Same as the reflex lens side markers. Automakers produce two sets (or more) of front and rear lights for the same vehicle model. SAE and ECE if I recall the acronyms correctly

      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.
