Tesla is the worst - their DRLs are blinding if you're off to the side of them in a sedan like I drive. Apparently, they're supposed to be USER aimed / aligned AFTER delivery, but pretty sure only 5% of drivers have even the faintest of clues about any setting in their car other than "pair phone".
I'm not saying no other cars have issues, including the obviously misaimed 70s light-in-a-box bulbs. And don't get me started on the number of cars with ZERO lights, or only DRLs (no tail lights) at night here in the Bay Area (CA).
I am constantly struggling to avoid glare at night from crazy lights. If I could wave my hand and fix one brand, without question it would be Teslas - they're systematically bad. All others seem like one-offs (bad maintenance, post-accident/replacement-misaligned, etc).

As sort of a personal mea culpa, shortly after I got a new car, I realized I had done a nighttime drive with just daytime running lights. I leave the lights on Auto usually but it's relatively easy to hit the headlight dial with a finger when activating the turn signal. (Or, as I think was the case here I had just gotten a state inspection and the lights were just turned off.) I'm more aware now. Something seemed a bit off but it was a fairly new car.
Most Tesla headlights have matrix functionality (the ability selectively dim areas of the headlight that would be aimed at another car) but this is not enabled in the US.
